At VIP Hearing, we have been delivering wax removal for many years

We use one of mainly two techniques:

Microsuction: using an ENT grade suction unit, and a high-quality microscope for enhanced visualisation of the procedure.

Instrumentation: using Jobson Horne single use tools.

As part of the service, we like to show the condition of the ear before and after wax removal, using a video otoscope.

We supply all makes of the very latest Hearing Aids, using rechargeable and smart phone technology. We can then demonstrate this to you in our unique purpose made 'Hearing Room'.

This enables us to give you the full hearing experience of everyday environments, such as listening to the television, or in a busy restaurant without you leaving our clinic.

Being totally 'Independent' allows us to find the most suitable hearing solution for your hearing loss from any one of the world’s leading Hearing Aid Manufacturers, including Widex, Phonak, GN Resound, Starkey, and Oticon.

Additional Services are custom made ear defenders suitable and advisable for any noisy working environment, shooting or Motor cycling.

We can make custom swim moulds to prevent ear infections or to enable you to swim with a perforation. Ask us about custom sound monitors, every musicians dream.

Ear wax is part of our body's natural defence system. It helps to prevent infections of the ear and catches foreign objects which may enter the ear such as dust or debris.

The over-production of ear wax causes pain for 1 out of every 15 people in the UK and can often be mistaken for hearing loss.

The production of ear wax is an entirely natural phenomenon to protect your ears from infection, instrusion and dirt.

When to book ear wax removal in Rickmansworth

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 Rickmansworth.

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

What to expect at your appointment

Every clinic has its own way of doing things, and Rickmansworth Clinic will talk you through theirs. This is how a typical ear wax removal appointment goes.

Before you go

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.
A look inside your ears

The clinician asks about your symptoms, then checks both ears with an otoscope or a microscope before deciding how to remove the wax.
The removal

Microsuction is noisy but rarely painful. Some clinics use warm-water irrigation or a small instrument instead. Allow around half an hour.
Afterwards

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.
