Service overview
Clearer hearing support
Microsuction-led ear wax removal for blocked ears, reduced hearing, tinnitus, ear pressure and related discomfort after suitability checks.
If you are experiencing blocked ears, reduced hearing, tinnitus or ear discomfort, Ashworths Clinic provides professional ear wax removal using a microsuction-led pathway where suitable.
Ear wax build-up can cause blocked ears, muffled or reduced hearing, earache, ringing, discomfort, dizziness, imbalance, pressure or a feeling of fullness.
What microsuction involves
Microsuction ear wax removal uses a precise medical suction device under direct visual guidance to gently remove excess wax where the clinician confirms it is suitable.
Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction does not use water, and the source page describes it as removing wax without using water. The clinician can see the ear canal during the appointment and only proceeds after assessment.
| Dry removal method without water-based ear syringing, with lower risk of infection, irritation or ear canal damage described by the source clinic. | |
| Direct visual guidance so the clinician can see the ear canal during the appointment. | |
| Quick, gentle appointment pathway for many routine wax blockages after assessment. | |
| Advanced microsuction equipment used by trained clinicians. | |
| Pricing starts from £30 for one ear and £50 for both ears, with the final fee confirmed during booking. |
Common symptoms of ear wax build-up
You may benefit from ear wax removal if symptoms suggest wax-related blockage or discomfort. The clinician will assess your ears and decide whether microsuction is appropriate.
If symptoms point to another problem, the team will explain whether self-care, rescheduling or a different clinical pathway is needed.
- Muffled or reduced hearing.
- Earache or discomfort.
- Ringing in the ears.
- Dizziness or imbalance.
- A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear.
How the procedure works
The clinician checks your ears first, using specialist visual assessment and a specialist microscope before any microsuction proceeds, and only continues where the appointment is suitable for routine clinic care.
If removal goes ahead, gentle suction is used to clear wax safely and effectively. The team then checks comfort, explains what was found and provides prevention tips.
- Book online or by phone at a suitable time.
- Attend an initial ear assessment with specialist visual equipment.
- Microsuction is used only where the ear check supports that route.
- Aftercare includes prevention tips and advice if symptoms continue or return.
