What Our Patients Say
What happens at the ear cleaning appointment?

- We examine your child outer ear
- The microsuction procedure is explained to the parent and child in an easy to understand manner. Younger children are distracted with their favourite TV show for instance.
- The procedure is performed. We allow 40 minutes for the appointment in case we need to allow your child to take breaks in between.
- If we are unable to complete the procedure in one appointment, we review your child within 2 weeks at no cost to you.
- We offer your child a free glue ear test (tympanometry) and discuss the results with you.
How we remove earwax from your child’s ear
Our paediatric audiologist uses e-microsuction for earwax removal. This process involves cleaning out your child’s ear wax with a suction machine whilst using an endoscope as the primary viewing equipment. The suction machine is used at calibrated pressure levels to remove ear wax safely from your child’s ears. Our gentle ear wax removal procedure gives your child relief from the discomfort of impacted ear wax and ear blockage.

Anthony Richardson2023-08-11After trying numerous places for ear wax removal over the years this is by far the best there is. So convenient and service is second to none. Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else.Michael Rothwell2023-08-08exceptional service and MJ (audiologist) was greatDolores Armstrong2023-07-25Raphael Gruber2023-07-22Super friendly. Quick and easy. Perfect results. Actually looking forward to coming backRalph Allwood2023-07-19Cassandra O'Leary2023-07-16So happy that we found this Audiologist. Excellent with children, very friendly and welcoming. Myself and my daughter are very happy with our appointment.Eric Walter2023-07-12A great first time experience, very informative procedure and carried out the work in a first class environment and would definitely go back in six months .Brython Caley-Davies2023-07-11Simona Zajicova2023-07-11The doctor was very nice. He checked my son's ears, but there was no microsuction needed. My son had no earwax in his ears that needed to be removed. Therefore, I don't understand why I was charged £120 for something that was not done. In cases like this, clients should get some of their money back, don't you think? It's common in other clinics.Marcel Vandenbussche2023-07-07Google rating score: 4.8 of 5, based on 82 reviews

Yes. We’ve had many cases where children put objects in their ears while playing or exploring. It is always important to book an emergency appointment with us in these cases so we can remove the object on the same day if possible. This is due to the risk of developing an ear infection from the foreign body.
So far, we have completed 100% of paediatric patients’ ear wax removal in one session. This is partly because we allocate 45 mins – 1hr to these sessions to ensure your child is settled, and partly because we go at their pace. However, if we cannot complete the procedure, we would offer a free follow-up appointment within two weeks of the initial appointment date.
We strongly advise against using home remedies to remove your child’s ear wax at home due to the risk of perforating the eardrum or unintentionally causing injury to your child’s ear.
Over the years, research has revealed that ear syringing is not the best practice for ear wax removal. We use alternative safe techniques such as e-microsuction to remove your child’s ear wax.
Yes, we can to perform a tympanogram on the day of the appointment to check if your child has glue ear or not. This comes at an additional cost.
