Local overview

Finding ear wax removal in Birmingham

Birmingham itself has 15 of them, and the others are spread across Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, Dudley and six other places. Of the 34, 15 are within five miles and three within two miles of the centre.

Many do more than remove wax: hearing aids at 34 of them, help with hearing loss at 34 and hearing tests at 33. Check each clinic's hours before you set off: 31 list Saturday or Sunday hours, and all of them take appointment requests through this site.

Most appointments take around half an hour. Some clinics suggest softening the wax with olive oil drops for a few days beforehand, so check when you book. Our guide to using ear drops shows how to put them in.

Before you book

What to expect, and what it costs

An appointment is usually quick and painless. Here's what normally happens, and roughly what you can expect to pay in Birmingham and elsewhere in the UK.

Around half an hour

The clinician asks about your ears, looks inside with an otoscope, removes the wax and checks again at the end. The removal itself often takes just a few minutes per ear.

What happens at an appointment

Microsuction or irrigation

Microsuction lifts wax out with a fine suction tube under magnification. Irrigation uses a controlled flow of warm water. NICE lists both, and advises against old-style manual syringing.

How the two compare

Typically £45 to £100

A rough UK range for both ears in a clinic. Prices differ between clinics, some charge per ear, and home visits cost more. Ask what's included before you book.

Drops beforehand, if asked

Some clinics suggest softening the wax first: 2 or 3 drops of medical-grade olive oil, 3 or 4 times a day for 3 to 5 days. Skip the drops if your eardrum might be perforated.

How to use ear drops

See a GP or call NHS 111 rather than booking wax removal if you have sudden hearing loss, severe pain, discharge or bleeding from the ear, a high temperature, swelling, or something stuck in your ear.

Where is the nearest ear wax removal clinic to Birmingham?

Can I get ear wax removal at the weekend in Birmingham?

Yes. Of the 34 clinics, 31 list Saturday or Sunday hours. Opening times can change, so check the clinic's page and confirm when you book.

Can I get ear wax removal on the NHS in Birmingham?

Possibly, but many GP practices in England no longer remove ear wax. NICE guidance says removal should be offered in primary care or community services when wax is causing hearing loss or other symptoms, but what is actually available varies from one area to the next. Ask your surgery what is offered around Birmingham.

If there is no NHS option, a private clinic is the usual alternative. Our guide to ear wax removal on the NHS explains who still qualifies and what to ask.

How much does ear wax removal cost in Birmingham?

Each clinic sets its own prices, so check the clinic's page or ask when you book. As a rough guide, microsuction for both ears at a UK clinic typically costs somewhere between £45 and £100, and home visits cost more. It is worth asking whether a follow-up visit is included if some wax is left behind.
