Ear wax removal is £65, whether wax is found in one or both ears. If no wax is found, the appointment is £35. Your SoundCheck and any follow-up appointment, where required, are included.
Microsuction, irrigation and manual ear wax removal
Microsuction is the method we use most often because it is quick, precise and comfortable for many people. With endoscopic technology, your clinician can see a clear, magnified view of the ear canal while gently removing excess wax.
Where microsuction is not the best option, we may use ear irrigation or manual techniques instead. The safest method depends on your ear health, the type of wax and what we find during your ear check.

This experience was absolutely fascinating. Andrew encouraged discussion and explained everything very clearly. No hard sell or pushing hearing aids, if not yet required. The live visual of my wax removal was amazing and the result was a massive improvement to me. Highly recommend and trust Andrew with all things hearing related.

I had an appointment with Carl on Wednesday for a hearing test and hearing aid check. Professional and friendly service. Really in depth hearing test. Better than others I’ve had over the years. 10/10 aftercare with my hearing aid. Always there for help and advice. Would highly recommend anyone who needs hearing help to go to alto. 😍🫶🏼

First time I’d had treatment for my ears and decided to use Alto as a local company. Couldn’t have been happier with the results, very professional service. Mariia the specialist was very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be using them again for future treatment.

This place is absolutely brilliant. I knew one of my ears was blocked with wax but didn't realise just how bad until the camera went in and i could see it on the screen. I saw Andrew who was great and explained the procedure and after a quick microsuction i was amazed at just how much came out and how instantly my ears felt clear and hearing back to normal. The Lady on reception was also very welcoming. Would definatley recommend and use again.

A very warm and friendly welcome. From the minute I walked in I felt comfortable and at ease. Both my ears were blocked with wax. The wax removel procedure was painless and I got to watch it all on a screen which was very interesting. Afterwards I had a free hearing test and everything was explained in detail. Walked away feeling happy and well looked after. Fantastic service, would highly recommend. Thank you Andrew and team.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really great experience getting my ear wax removed here. I was able to get a same-day appointment, which was really helpful, and the pricing was very reasonable. They treated both ears rather than just the problem one, which I really appreciated. The staff were friendly and professional, checking on my comfort throughout the appointment. Everything was sorted quickly and efficiently. I’d definitely recommend!

I had a problem with my right ear, not all the time but from time to time. I had an appointment with Carl, who was very professional and made me feel at ease. I had a thorough ear test in both ears and was shown the graph of my hearing. I was very impressed with the test and advised l would benefit from a hearing devise. I would recommend anyone who is suffering from a hearing loss to get tested and to try out the different devises. You may not think you need them but see the difference it could…

I attended alto for wax removal today, I was alittle nervous never having it done before but was immediately put at ease by the friendly receptionist. I was promptly seen by Megan who explained everything well and carried out the wax removal which wasn't uncomfortable at all! Very pleased with the service and will definitely return when needed. Highly recommend.

Maria the audiologist was extremely professional, caring and gentle during my procedure and thorough in conducting my hearing test. The receptionist was equally welcoming to the branch and professional in manner. Both put me at ease, explained what would happen and treated me with kindness and compassion. They are both an asset to the business, thank you.

I visited Carl fir the first time yesterday, with tinnitus and some deafness in my right ear. After a full examination he advised me to see my Dr. as he thought it was an inner ear infection. I took his advice and now have antibiotics. He was such a kind and helpful man. I would definitely recommend him . Helen Robinson.
