Local overview
You'll find one in Croydon and the rest close by, in London, South Croydon, Caterham, Kingston upon Thames and 23 other places. If you'd like somewhere central, one is within two miles of the middle of Croydon.
Other services on offer nearby include hearing aids (17 clinics), hearing protection (17) and hearing tests (17). Check each clinic's hours before you set off: 47 list Saturday or Sunday hours, and all of them take appointment requests through this site.
Ask the clinic which method it uses when you book. Microsuction is widely used in private clinics, and electronic irrigation is another option in NICE guidance. Our guide to microsuction and irrigation explains the difference.
Before you book
An appointment is usually quick and painless. Here's what normally happens, and roughly what you can expect to pay in Croydon 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.
Nearby
These towns have their own pages, so you can also look for a clinic near work or family. Distances are from centre to centre, and some clinics appear on more than one page because the areas overlap.
Questions
Short answers based on the clinics we list and on NHS and NICE advice.
We list 50 clinics within 10 miles of the centre of Croydon, 16 of them within five miles. The list at the top of this page shows featured clinics first, then the rest in order of distance.
Croydon Clinic is the closest, about 0.3 miles from the centre of Croydon in a straight line. Its page has the address, opening hours and a map, and you can send a booking request from there.
Yes. Of the 50 clinics, 47 list Saturday or Sunday hours. Opening times can change, so check the clinic's page and confirm when you book.
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 Croydon.
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.
Ear wax removal costs covers what is usually included and why prices vary.
