About the clinic
Since qualifying in 2008, our Clinical Director, Mr Armitage, has amassed a huge amount of experience working in a variety of Audiology settings. Mr Armitage completed his Advanced Aural Care training in microsuction wax removal at Aston University Medical School and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). In 2020, Mr Armitage’s passion for Audiology drove him to develop his vision for a specialist hearing clinic and The Yorkshire Hearing Clinic was founded.
We begin your appointment with a thorough case history and assessment of both ears. It is important we assess the blockage to determine if it is safe to proceed. Should you choose, we can even show you inside your own ears using our wireless video otoscope, which illuminates, magnifies and projects a view of your ear canal onto the computer screen. Once the assessment is complete we will expertly remove any wax using the latest microsuction equipment and techniques to ensure your experience is both safe and completely pain-free.
Mr Armitage offers clinic-based appointments at The Grange Medical Centre, or domiciliary visits, to suit the needs of each individual patient.
Our professional services fee for wax removal in clinic is £75 (for one or two ears) or £105 should you require a home visit.
You can be assured of an exceptional professional service in a clinical environment with a friendly smile. Welcome to The Yorkshire Hearing Clinic, we are here to help.
We also specialise in REMs : Hearing Aid Performance Evaluation
Too much ear wax affects 1 out of every 15 people in the UK and can now and then be inaccurately assumed to be hearing impairment.
The over production of ear wax is a naturally occurring process to guard your ears from the harmful intrusion of dirt and other small objects.
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 Harrogate.
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 Harrogate Yorkshire Hearing Clinic 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.
