Local overview
You'll find two in Cheltenham and the rest close by, in Gloucester and Tewkesbury. If you'd like somewhere central, two are within two miles of the middle of Cheltenham.
Many do more than remove wax: help with balance problems at 3 of them, hearing aids at 3 and help with hearing loss at 3. If weekdays are awkward, note that none lists weekend opening at the moment. As for booking, all of them take appointment requests through this site.
Many private clinics now use microsuction, and some offer electronic irrigation instead. Ask which method they use when you book, and read our guide to microsuction vs irrigation if you are weighing them up.
Before you book
An appointment is usually quick and painless. Here's what normally happens, and roughly what you can expect to pay in Cheltenham and elsewhere in the UK.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 Cheltenham.
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.
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.
