About the clinic
Hardie Hearing has been operating in the Stockport, Cheshire and High Peak area for a number of years. We offer ear wax removal (micro-suction and instrumentation), Hearing assessments (adults and children) and hearing aid assessments and fittings (adults only).
Hardie Hearing is owned and managed by Sarah Hardie. Sarah is a fully qualified specialist audiologist with additional certificates in micro-suction, ear irrigation and instrumentation. Sarah has 15 years of audiology and ear care experience and holds a specialist role within the NHS also. Sarah can also provide advice on tinnitus, ear protection for noise and water as well as knowledge of many other complex ear and hearing related problems for both adults and children.
At Hardie Hearing we pride ourselves on great customer care and strive to offer all our customers a personal and professional experience at all times. We also have an excellent relationship with our local GPs which is great for our clients who will benefit from continuity of care (when necessary) which is so often lacking between independent and NHS services.
We have full professional indemnity insurances and complete up to date registration with the RCCP, HCPC and BSHAA.
The over-production of ear wax disturbs 1 in 15 in the UK and can on occasion be assumed to be permanent hearing loss.
The body's production of ear wax is an entirely natural phenomenon to protect your ears from external elements.
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 Marple.
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 Marple 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.
