Clear the Way to Better Hearing: Expert Ear Wax Removal at Allerton Hearing

Excess ear wax, a natural substance produced to protect your eardrum from dust and particles, can sometimes build up and cause frustrating problems. For some individuals, ear wax doesn’t exit the ear naturally, forming a blockage or plug. This can lead to a number of noticeable symptoms, including impaired hearing, ear pain, a sensation of fullness in the ear, ringing (tinnitus), and even dizziness. If you’re experiencing any of these, Allerton Hearing in Liverpool is here to help.

Our expert hearing professionals can provide relief from these uncomfortable symptoms. When you book a free hearing test with us, we’ll also check your ears for excess ear wax. Alternatively, if you’re confident that ear wax removal is what you need, you can directly request an ear wax removal appointment without a full hearing test.

We highly recommend preparing for your appointment by adding medical-grade olive oil to your ear(s) for four days prior – typically three drops in the morning and evening. This simple step helps to loosen and soften impacted ear wax, making the removal process more effective.

At Allerton Hearing, we are fully equipped with the latest technology to ensure effective and safe ear wax removal. We prioritize your comfort and safety, using micro-suction technology. This method is effective, safe, and pain-free. We use a display to show you the inside of your ears before carefully removing the excess wax. We strictly adhere to the current recommendations from the British Society of Audiology (BSA), which endorses micro-suction as the preferred method. We do not use ear candles or older syringing methods, which are no longer recommended due to increased pressure in the ear and added risk of infection.

Ear wax removal at Allerton Hearing costs £40 for one ear or £70 for both. Should extra stubborn wax require a second visit, it’s included at no extra charge. If, upon examination, no wax removal is required, there is a £30 charge for the appointment. Book your ear wax removal appointment online or give us a call on 0151 271 4258.
