Questions worth asking the clinic
Prices, methods and what's included vary from one clinic to the next. A quick look at the clinic's page, or a short phone call, saves surprises on the day.
Which method will they use?
Most clinics use microsuction, and some also offer electronic irrigation. Mention a perforated eardrum, grommets or recent ear surgery when you book, as irrigation isn't suitable then.
What does the price cover?
Check whether it's for one ear or both, and whether you pay if there's little or no wax to remove. For both ears in a clinic, £45 to £100 is typical. Home visits usually cost more.
Should you soften the wax first?
Some clinics ask you to use olive oil or pharmacy drops for a few days beforehand, which can make removal quicker. Our guide explains how to use ear drops. Skip the oil if your eardrum might be perforated.
What if it doesn't all come out?
Hard, impacted wax sometimes needs a second visit. Ask whether a follow-up is included or charged separately, and when you'd need to come back.
When can they see you?
Opening hours are on each clinic's page. If you need an evening or weekend slot, check before you book, or request a time that suits you and let the clinic confirm it.
When to see a GP instead
Get medical advice first if you have severe pain, discharge or bleeding from the ear, a high temperature, swelling, sudden hearing loss or something stuck in your ear. Call NHS 111 if you're not sure.
