​Yorkshire Ear Wax Removal – Mobile, Safe & Same-Day Microsuction at Home

Most home appointments last 25-30 minutes. This includes set-up, the ear examination, wax removal and after-care guidance. If both ears are heavily impacted – or if we perform a hearing screen – allow up to 45 minutes.

For most individuals, yes. Because microsuction is a dry technique, there’s no moisture to trigger infection or push wax deeper into the ear canal. It’s also safe for people with perforated eardrums or a history of ear surgery. Syringing can still be useful for very soft wax, and we’ll advise on the best option during your appointment.

Not at all. You’ll stay seated in a normal upright chair throughout. No special attire or position is required.

In most cases, yes. Clients often notice a gentle release of pressure as air returns to the ear canal, followed by noticeably brighter sound. Occasionally, if the ear has been blocked for a long time, the brain can take a few hours to readjust to normal volume.

We’ll explain what we see on video-otoscopy (if required) and, if there’s no wax, we’ll advise on next steps. This might be a referral to your GP or ENT for any underlying issue.

Yes. We offer out-of-hours visits for a small surcharge so busy professionals can be treated after work or at weekends.

Absolutely. All we need is a quiet, well-lit space, access to a plug socket and permission from the site manager if applicable. Many clients book lunchtime visits at the office or care-home residents’ rooms.

Some private health cash-plans cover ear-wax removal. We provide an itemised digital receipt which you can submit to your insurer – check your policy for details.

That depends on your ear physiology and lifestyle. Hearing-aid users and those who naturally produce more wax may benefit from routine cleans every 6-12 months, while others only need us when symptoms arise. We’ll advise a personalised schedule after seeing your ears.

Yes, microsuction is considered the safest method of ear wax removal. It is a dry procedure and carries fewer risks compared to traditional syringing. We use HCPC-registered audiologists and sterile, single-use equipment for every appointment.

You may need treatment if you are experiencing:

• Blocked ears
  

• Sudden hearing loss
  

• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  

• Dizziness or vertigo
  

• A feeling of fullness in the ear
  

• Discomfort or itching
  

If you’re unsure, we can assess your symptoms during a consultation.

Absolutely. We offer same-day and emergency appointments, subject to availability. You can book online or call us directly to check availability in your area.

We advise using olive oil drops (or sprays like Earol) twice daily for 2–3 days prior to your appointment. This softens the wax, allowing for a quicker, more comfortable removal.

No. The procedure is pain-free for most clients. You might feel a light suction or some tickling during removal, but it’s over quickly and without discomfort.

Our HCPC-registered senior audiologists provide safe, gentle care across a wide range of hearing needs. Each appointment is tailored to the individual, ensuring every client feels comfortable, well-informed and fully reassured throughout the procedure.

Most appointments take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount and consistency of wax. We also allow time for ear examination, explanation, and aftercare advice.
