Professional ear wax removal in Lutterworth, Market Bosworth & Kenilworth.

If your ears are feeling blocked, itchy, or uncomfortable, or if you are struggling to hear, it may be that you have a build-up of impacted ear wax requiring professional ear wax removal.

Professional ear wax removal is generally pain free, although some individuals may experience mild discomfort or pressure during the procedure.

Qualified ear wax removal professionals are trained to minimise any discomfort and ensure a gentle and safe removal process.

The duration of an ear wax removal procedure can vary depending on the severity of the wax build-up and the techniques used.

You can usually expect the procedure to take between 15 to 30 minutes. However, it’s important to note that some cases may require multiple visits or additional treatments for complete removal.

Where additional ear wax removal treatments are needed, our follow-up appointments are free!

The frequency of professional ear wax removal depends on various factors, such as your individual ear wax production and any underlying conditions.

Some people may require regular removal every few months, while others may only need it once or twice a year.

It’s best to consult with a qualified professional, who can assess your specific requirements and provide appropriate recommendations.

While it’s not possible to completely prevent ear wax production, there are steps you can take to minimise excessive build-up.

Avoid using cotton swabs or other objects to clean your ears, as these can push the wax deeper and create a blockage. Instead, gently clean the outer part of your ears with a washcloth or a tissue.

If you feel that you are prone to excessive ear wax, consult with a qualified professional, who can provide advice on preventive measures or recommend suitable ear wax softeners.

When faced with the discomfort caused by excessive ear wax, many people turn to do-it-yourself (DIY) methods to remove the wax. However, these methods can be ineffective and potentially dangerous, putting your ears at risk of injury or infection.

For example, cotton buds or swabs tend to push wax deeper into the ear, creating a blockage and potentially causing damage to the eardrum or other structures.

Given the potential risks and limited effectiveness of DIY methods, it’s best to leave ear wax removal to the professionals. Trained experts in ear wax removal have the knowledge, experience, and specialised tools necessary to safely and effectively remove the excess wax without causing harm to your ears.

Since 2018, most NHS GP practices stopped routinely providing ear wax removal.

Where symptoms persist, or where ears are badly blocked, causing hearing loss, some GP practices may offer ear wax removal, however most will advise that you have to pay to have it performed privately.
