About the clinic
Our Nottingham ear wax removal clinic offers 5 star rated expert ear wax removal service, using a state of the art ENT microscope to visualise your ears and microsuction to gently remove your ear wax.
Ear Care Specialists is led by Dr. Jeff, a highly trained dual registered (HCPC & AHCS) specialist audiologist and former senior lecturer in audiology, with over 15 years of audiology experience. Jeff performs in excess of 1000 wax removal procedures each year and even trains fellow colleagues in ear wax removal.
Unlike most clinics, we use a high definition ENT microscope to visualise your ears during the ear cleaning process. This is a true gold standard approach, far outperforming other visualisation methods such as head loupes which offer much lower fixed magnification levels and poorer lighting.
As an independent audiology clinic, we are well equipped to provide a full range of audiological services including: hearing and tinnitus assessment, custom ear protection and premium hearing aids. Our clinic is close to Nottingham city centre, wheelchair accessible and has on street parking right outside (RingGo).

The excessive production of ear wax disturbs 1 out of every 15 people in the UK and can frequently be inaccurately assumed to be permanent hearing loss.
The body's production of ear wax is a natural process to protect 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 Nottingham.
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 Nottingham 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.
