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 Rochdale 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.

Questions
Short answers based on the clinics we list and on NHS and NICE advice.
We list 20 clinics within 10 miles of the centre of Rochdale, 3 of them within five miles. The list at the top of this page shows featured clinics first, then the rest in order of distance.
Rochdale Ear Wax Removal is the closest, about 0.6 miles from the centre of Rochdale 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 20 clinics, five 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 Rochdale.
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.
