Ear Wax Removal
Safe, Gentle Wax Removal by Experts
Ear wax is a natural and healthy part of your ear's defence system, but sometimes it can build up and cause discomfort, muffled hearing, or even temporary hearing loss. When that happens, professional removal is the safest solution — and microsuction is the gold standard method.
Unlike traditional ear syringing which uses water, microsuction uses a gentle vacuum to remove wax quickly and cleanly. It's performed under direct vision using a microscope, meaning your audiologist can see exactly what they're doing at all times. It's faster, safer, and more comfortable than older methods.
Our HCPC registered audiologist has years of experience performing microsuction for patients across North Wales. Whether you're in Rhyl, Wrexham, Llandudno, or anywhere in between, our St. Asaph clinic is conveniently located for easy access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions Answered
Does ear wax removal hurt?
Microsuction is generally painless, though you may feel a slight sensation of pressure or hear a noise during the procedure. Most patients find it quick and comfortable.
How much does ear wax removal cost?
Ear wax removal at our North Wales clinic is £65 per appointment. This covers both ears if needed, and includes a full examination and aftercare advice.
Do I need to use ear drops before my appointment?
We recommend using olive oil or sodium bicarbonate drops for 2–3 days before your appointment to soften the wax. This makes removal easier and more comfortable. We'll send you instructions when you book.
Can microsuction be used on a perforated eardrum?
Yes. Because microsuction doesn't use water, it's safe for patients with perforated eardrums or those who've had ear surgery — unlike traditional ear syringing.
How often do I need wax removal?
This varies from person to person. Some people need it every few months, others once a year or less. Your audiologist will advise on a schedule that's right for you.
