Earwax Removal & Hearing Check Service in Galgate, Lancaster
If you are experiencing symptoms like blocked ears, reduced hearing, discomfort, or ringing (tinnitus), excessive earwax may be the cause.
We offer a professional, safe, and efficient Earwax Removal & Hearing Check service performed by our trained clinical specialists. We use modern, gentle methods to help you hear clearly again.
Ear Health Check
During this 10-15 minute consultation, our specialist will:
- Discuss your symptoms and medical history.
- Carefully examine your ear canal using an otoscope (a magnifying instrument).
- Confirm if earwax is present and if it requires removal.
Our Safe and Effective Earwax Removal Methods
We use the gold-standard technique for safe and effective earwax removal: Microsuction. This is widely considered the safest and cleanest method of earwax removal.
- How it Works: Using a high-magnification microscope and a sterile medical suction device, our specialist gently removes the wax from the ear canal.
- Benefits: It is quick, usually takes less than 30 minutes, and does not require water, reducing the risk of infection or dizziness often associated with ear syringing.
Important: preparing your ears
For the microsuction procedure to be successful, the earwax must be sufficiently soft. This ensures the procedure is comfortable and effective. You must prepare your ears for at least 3-5 days prior to your appointment by applying ear drops, even if you are only coming for the free check-up.
- Purchase some olive oil ear drops (or spray) from the pharmacy.
- Lie down and gently apply 2-3 drops into the blocked ear(s).
- Massage the area just outside the ear.
- Keep your head tilted for 5-10 minutes to allow the oil to soak in.
- Repeat 2-3 times daily for 3-5 days before your appointment.
