About the clinic
Altrincham Hearing Centre is a family-owned, independent hearing practice at 24 The Downs. It's run by husband-and-wife audiologists Pritesh and Bhavika, with Jen, our Hearing Aid Audiologist and Practice Manager. If your ears feel blocked or muffled, we'll look in properly first, then remove the wax in the way that suits your ears: microsuction (always carried out by an audiologist), irrigation or dry wax removal. It's the treatment many people still know as ear syringing. Same-day appointments are often available.

Altrincham Hearing Centre, 24 The Downs, Altrincham WA14 2PU
Ear wax is there for a reason. It keeps the skin of the ear canal healthy and normally works its own way out. Trouble starts when it builds up and blocks the canal: your hearing goes muffled, the ear feels full, and some people get itching, earache, ringing or dizziness.
Softening drops are the usual first step. The NHS suggests 2 to 3 drops of medical-grade olive or almond oil, 3 to 4 times a day for 3 to 5 days, unless you might have a hole in your eardrum. If the ear is still blocked after that, book in for removal with a clinic in Altrincham.
Try not to dig the wax out with cotton buds or fingers. They tend to push it deeper and can scratch the canal, which makes it harder to remove. Our guide to the signs of ear wax build-up explains what to look out for.

Your appointment
Every clinic has its own way of doing things, and Altrincham Hearing Centre will talk you through theirs. This is how a typical ear wax removal appointment goes.
Some clinics suggest softening the wax with olive oil drops for a few days first, so ask when you book. Mention any ear surgery, a perforated eardrum or grommets.
The clinician asks about your symptoms, then checks both ears with an otoscope or a microscope before deciding how to remove the wax.
Microsuction is noisy but rarely painful. Some clinics use warm-water irrigation or a small instrument instead. Allow around half an hour.
Most people hear more clearly straight away. Brief dizziness or a little soreness usually settles quickly. Get help if you have pain, discharge, bleeding or worse hearing.
