Our Plymouth Ear Wax Removal Services

Laura Bates, our experienced Nurse Practitioner at Precision Health & Training uses the most effective ear wax removal techniques, to ensure a quick and painless procedure, which include:
  • Microsuction – a simple procedure that uses a small suction device to gently remove the wax out of the ear. It is much safer, with less mess involved, compared to traditional ear cleaning methods.
  • Irrigation – commonly used for ear wax removal when the wax is either too hard and needs softening, or too soft for other removal techniques
It is a procedure performed to gently flush out excess ear wax from the ear canal using warm water. Irrigation will only be used if safe to do so. Our Nurse Practitioner will carefully check to make sure that using water to clean your ear is safe and the right choice if it’s needed. Whether you need a one-time removal or ongoing ear wax removal, our friendly health professionals are here to help. From only £30 for one ear, and £50 for both ears our wax removal could increase your confidence and overall well-being almost instantly.

    Preparing For The Ear Wax Removal Procedure

    To properly prepare for your ear wax removal procedure, it is important for you to follow a few simple steps:

    1. Use Earol spray for five days prior to the procedure. This spray is easier to use than drops and can be purchased from a pharmacy or online.

    2. Avoid using Otex, as it contains peroxide and can make suctioning harder.

    3. You can have peace of mind knowing that our skilled specialists, who are both insured and trained, are capable of treating patients of all age groups, including children.
