What to Expect During Your Earwax Removal Appointment

Our goal is to make your earwax removal appointment safe, straightforward, and comfortable — especially if it’s your first visit or you’re feeling a little nervous.

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Your appointment starts with a brief, relaxed discussion about your symptoms and relevant medical history. This allows us to carry out earwax removal safely and appropriately for you.

​

Step 2: Ear Examination

We examine your ears using digital otoscope, allowing us to check for earwax build-up and confirm that removal is safe. You will be able to see live pictures and video of your own ear canal on screen as we explain what we see and answer any questions before moving forward. 

​

Step 3: Selecting the Right Method

Based on your ear health and the type of earwax present, we choose the most suitable removal method:

• Microsuction

• Water irrigation

• Manual removal

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach — the method is chosen for your ears, not convenience.

​

Step 4: Gentle Earwax Removal

Earwax is removed under direct vision using professional equipment. You may notice suction sounds or mild pressure, but the procedure should not be painful. Most appointments last 30–45 minutes.

​

Step 5: Aftercare & Recheck

Your ears are re-checked once treatment is complete, and clear aftercare advice is provided. Many clients notice an immediate improvement in hearing and overall comfort.

Preparing for Your Appointment

Using olive oil ear drops or spray 2–3 times a day for 3–5 days before your visit helps soften earwax and makes removal quicker and more comfortable.
