Ask the clinic which method it uses when you book. Microsuction is widely used in private clinics, and electronic irrigation is another option in NICE guidance. Our guide to microsuction and irrigation explains the difference.
Before you book
What to expect, and what it costs
An appointment is usually quick and painless. Here's what normally happens, and roughly what you can expect to pay in Birkenhead and elsewhere in the UK.
Around half an hour
The clinician asks about your ears, looks inside with an otoscope, removes the wax and checks again at the end. The removal itself often takes just a few minutes per ear.
Microsuction or irrigation
Microsuction lifts wax out with a fine suction tube under magnification. Irrigation uses a controlled flow of warm water. NICE lists both, and advises against old-style manual syringing.
Typically £45 to £100
A rough UK range for both ears in a clinic. Prices differ between clinics, some charge per ear, and home visits cost more. Ask what's included before you book.
Drops beforehand, if asked
Some clinics suggest softening the wax first: 2 or 3 drops of medical-grade olive oil, 3 or 4 times a day for 3 to 5 days. Skip the drops if your eardrum might be perforated.
See a GP or call NHS 111 rather than booking wax removal if you have sudden hearing loss, severe pain, discharge or bleeding from the ear, a high temperature, swelling, or something stuck in your ear.

Can I get ear wax removal on the NHS in Birkenhead?
Possibly, but many GP practices in England no longer remove ear wax.

Ask your surgery what is offered around Birkenhead.
If there is no NHS option, a private clinic is the usual alternative. Our guide to ear wax removal on the NHS explains who still qualifies and what to ask.
How much does ear wax removal cost in Birkenhead?
Each clinic sets its own prices, so check the clinic's page or ask when you book. As a rough guide, microsuction for both ears at a UK clinic typically costs somewhere between £45 and £100, and home visits cost more.
