At Swindon Ear Clinic, we provide professional ear wax removal using safe, clinically approved techniques. All procedures are carried out following a full ear health assessment to ensure treatment is appropriate, safe, and tailored to your individual needs.Ear wax (cerumen) is a natural substance produced by the ear to protect the ear canal by trapping dust, debris, and bacteria. In most cases it clears naturally, however for some people it can build up and become impacted, leading to discomfort and hearing problems.
Our service focuses on safe, effective removal of excess or impacted ear wax, helping to restore comfort, improve hearing, and support overall ear health.
Ear wax removal is a clinical procedure used to safely clear blockages of wax from the ear canal. At Swindon Ear Clinic, this is performed using professional equipment and modern techniques designed to minimise risk and maximise comfort.Before any treatment, both ears are examined using a video otoscope. This allows a clear view of the ear canal and eardrum and helps determine the safest and most appropriate method of removal.
We use two main methods of ear wax removal depending on clinical suitability:
Microsuction is a safe, precise, and widely used method of ear wax removal. It uses a gentle suction device to carefully remove wax from the ear canal. The procedure is performed under direct visual magnification, allowing continuous monitoring of the ear canal throughout treatment. This ensures accuracy and safety at all times.Microsuction is particularly suitable for:
It is a dry and controlled procedure and is considered one of the safest methods of ear wax removal.
Irrigation is a gentle ear wax removal method that uses a controlled flow of warm water to flush out the ear canal. The water helps soften and loosen the wax so it can be safely removed.
The procedure is carried out using specialised equipment that regulates water pressure to ensure safety and comfort throughout.Irrigation is suitable for many patients where clinically appropriate and is an effective method for removing softer wax build-up.
