Step 2
If treatment is suitable, earwax removal will be carried out carefully using an appropriate method.
Step 3
You will receive clear aftercare advice and guidance on what to do if symptoms persist or further support is needed.
The same professional standard of care applies whether your appointment takes place at home or in clinic.
Earwax build-up can cause symptoms that affect hearing, comfort and day-to-day life. Assessment is important because not every ear symptom is caused by wax.
A blocked or full sensation may be associated with wax build-up, but the ear should be assessed before any treatment is carried out.
Wax can sometimes reduce hearing clarity. An appointment can help establish whether wax is present and whether removal is appropriate.
If you have discomfort, irritation or ongoing symptoms, assessment helps identify whether earwax removal is suitable or whether further advice is needed.
