Ear wax
Ear wax, scientifically known as cerumin, is a natural substance produced in the ear canal. It acts as a lubricant, protects the skin of the ear canal, and helps to trap dirt and other particles to prevent them from reaching and potentially damaging the eardrum. In normal amounts, ear wax is not harmful and will naturally migrate out of the ear. However, excessive or impacted ear wax can lead to hearing problems or discomfort and may require medical intervention to remove.
Advantages of ear wax removal in Clapham for your well-being
Removing excessive ear wax can provide several benefits for your overall ear health and well-being. Some of these benefits include:
- Improved hearing: Excessive or impacted ear wax can block the ear canal and lead to decreased hearing. By removing the blockage, your hearing can be improved.
- Prevention of infections: Wax build-up can create an environment that is conducive to the growth of bacteria, increasing the risk of ear infections. Removing ear wax regularly can help prevent infections.
- Relief of discomfort: Impacted ear wax can cause pain, itching, and fullness in the ear. Removing the wax can bring relief from these symptoms.
- Protection of the eardrum: The ear drum is a delicate structure that can be damaged by impacted ear wax or other foreign objects. Removing ear wax regularly helps to prevent damage to the eardrum.
By scheduling an ear wax removal appointment, you can ensure that your ears are healthy and functioning properly. This can help improve your overall quality of life and prevent potential ear related health problems in the future.
Excess ear wax production
Excess ear wax production can lead to several issues, including:
- Hearing difficulties: Excessive ear wax can build up and block the ear canal, making it difficult to hear. This can lead to a temporary or permanent loss of hearing.
- Pain and discomfort: Impacted ear wax can cause pain, itching, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
- Increased risk of infections: Excess ear wax provides a breeding ground for bacteria and other microbes, which can increase the risk of ear infections.
Ear candling in Clapham
We do not offer ear candling due to safety concerns. Ear candling involves inserting a hollow candle into the ear canal and lighting it in order to remove ear wax. However, this practice is not supported by medical evidence and can be harmful, as it can cause burns, puncture the eardrum, or push ear wax further into the ear canal. For these reasons, we prioritize safe and effective methods of ear wax removal for our patients.
Ear syringing in Calpham
Ear syringing, which involves flushing out earwax with a syringe of warm water, is no longer considered a safe or effective method for removing earwax. Instead, most ear health professionals now recommend using ear drops to soften the wax, followed by gentle removal with microsuction. Our clinic has opted not to offer ear syringing as a service due to the potential risks it poses, including damage to the ear drum, infection, and worsening of symptoms.
We prioritize our patients’ safety and comfort and believe that there are more effective and safer methods for removing earwax.

What is ear microsuction?
Ear microsuction can be likened to an ear vacuum. It is essentially the process of cleaning out your ear wax safely with a suction machine whilst using a microscope as the primary viewing equipment. The suction machine is used at calibrated pressure levels to remove ear wax safely from your ears. “Micro” refers to the microscope used to look into your ears during this procedure, while “suction” refers to the machine used to draw out the ear wax, hence “microsuction”.
Endoscopic wax removal is a more advanced option for looking into your ears during ear cleaning as it provides a real-time view of your ears. We always offer our customers endoscopic wax removal as a first option because it is the most advanced technique. Most of our clients enjoy seeing the video recording of the ear cleaning process. We use our CE-marked endoscope called VerifEYEd View.
What is the best way to remove ear wax?
Various techniques can be used for professional ear cleaning. The best technique depends on the nature of ear wax to be removed.
Our preferred method at Verified Hearing is endoscopic wax removal using a suction machine because this is the most advanced technique. However, in some cases, we would need to use a sterilised instrument, such as a Jobson Horne or ear hook, to remove the ear wax gently. Patients sensitive to loud sounds or who suffer from tinnitus may find the sound of a suction machine unpleasant. So, we tend to avoid using it in such cases.
Although ear irrigation is becoming less and less popular, there are times when this is the most suitable technique for ear wax removal. In such cases, we do not hesitate to employ it, using only the safest irrigation machine.
Does Verified Hearing offer children’s ear wax removal services?
Yes. We have a senior paediatric audiologist who is part of our team. We can safely clear ear wax from your child’s ear(s).
