What is Ear wax?
Ear wax is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal and is important for protecting the ear from dust, bacteria, and foreign objects. However, excessive ear wax build-up can cause discomfort, reduced hearing, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and even infections.
There are several methods for removing ear wax, including ear syringing, ear candling, and microsuction. Microsuction is the most recommended method as it is quick, painless, and safe. This method involves using a fine, suction-tipped instrument to gently remove the ear wax while monitoring the progress through a microscope.
Ear wax removal should only be performed by a trained and licensed professional to avoid damage to the ear canal. If you are experiencing symptoms of ear wax build-up, it is best to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Ear Microsuction in Knightsbridge
Ear Microsuction in Knightsbridge is a safe and effective method for removing ear wax build-up. The procedure is performed by trained audiologists who use a small suction device to gently remove the ear wax. The procedure is quick, painless, and has a high success rate in removing even the most stubborn ear wax. The audiologist will examine your ear and use a microscope to see the extent of the wax build-up. Microsuction is considered to be the safest and most effective method for ear wax removal and is widely recommended by healthcare professionals. If you are located in Knightsbridge and are experiencing discomfort or hearing loss due to ear wax build-up, consider booking an appointment for ear Microsuction.
How can we prevent earwax build-up
Ear wax build-up can be prevented by following a few simple steps:
- Avoid using cotton swabs, earbuds, or other objects to clean the ear canal. This can push the ear wax further into the ear and increase the risk of impaction.
- Use over-the-counter ear drops (earol) to soften the ear wax, making it easier to remove naturally.
- Book regular (every 6 months) ear checkups.
- Avoid exposing the ears to excessive heat or cold.
By following these simple steps, you can help prevent ear wax build-up and maintain healthy ears.
Ear syringing
Ear syringing is a commonly used method for removing ear wax build-up. In this process, a warm water solution is squirted into the ear canal to flush out the ear wax. While ear syringing has been a popular method for many years, it has a number of drawbacks. It can be uncomfortable, messy, and has a risk of damaging the delicate skin of the ear canal or pushing the wax further into the ear.
In recent years, Microsuction has emerged as the most effective and safest method of ear wax removal. Microsuction is a gentle and precise method that uses a small suction device to remove the ear wax.
Ear candling
Ear candling is an alternative method for removing ear wax. In this process, a special type of candle is inserted into the ear canal and lit. The heat from the flame is supposed to create a suction that draws out the ear wax. While ear candling is a popular alternative to ear syringing, it is not recommended by many healthcare professionals due to the risk of burns and other potential damage to the ear.
Microsuction, on the other hand, is a safe and effective method for removing ear wax build-up. It uses a small suction device to gently remove the wax, and is performed by a trained audiologist. Microsuction is fast, painless, and has a high success rate in removing even the most stubborn ear wax. If you are struggling with ear wax build-up, it is recommended that you opt for Microsuction, the best ear wax removal method available.

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

Ear Wax Removal FAQs
What people are asking
We’re just a stone throw away.Get quick and effortless ear relief by making the 20-minute journey from Knightsbridge to our clinic at 126 Wigmore St.
Yes, however, you may need to make a quick trip out of Knightsbridge to our Wigmore St clinic. We have checked and it’s only a 20-minute journey. And if you’d like an even more convenient option, we can offer you an ear wax removal home visit.
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.
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.
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).
Do not use cotton buds. Use earol spray for 3-5 days to soften the ear wax and then book a professional ear wax removal appointment. We will use either microsuction, ear irrigation or specialised manual tools to remove the wax from your child’s ears.
