All You Need to Know About Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax is part of how our ears function and stay healthy – but if you’ve found that wax has formed a blockage inside your ear, it’s an irritating and sometimes painful issue that can cause chaos with your hearing.

We provide a private, professional and quick microsuction solution, removing all signs of ear wax in a speedy 30-minute appointment and eliminating any issues or mess associated with traditional syringing approaches.

Microsuction is pain-free, suited even to the most sensitive ears, and removes blockages or residues, leaving you to get on with your day with clean ears and restored hearing.

Signs you may need ear wax removal...

There’s no bad time to ensure your ears are clean and blockage-free. Still, we’d encourage you to schedule a convenient Friday visit to our specialist clinic if any of the following scenarios sound familiar:
  • You feel like your ears are full, blocked, clogged, or stuffy, which is causing issues with hearing or making sounds seem muffled or distorted.
  • There is pain or soreness in one or both ears or any indications that you’re dealing with an ear infection.
  • You’ve had issues with excessive ear wax before or are having problems with feelings of vertigo or imbalance or a persistent cough, which isn’t linked to anything else.
In the unlikely situations where we don’t find any wax, we’ll reduce your appointment fee and, of course, advise if we spot anything else that needs treatment, such as an injury or infection.

What Happens during your appointment?

If you’re new to microsuction or have been lucky enough never to experience issues with ear wax before, we know that treatments can cause apprehension – but you have the peace of mind that microsuction is completely pain-free. Some people say they get the sensation of pressure, but this ear wax removal technique is incredibly gentle and doesn’t cause any soreness or irritation. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:
  1. Tom or Clara will start by discussing your hearing and any concerns, running through each stage of the treatment to ensure you have plenty of time to ask questions.
  2. We’ll use a tiny otoscope to examine one or both ears—depending on which is bothering you—to confirm there is an ear wax blockage or look for other causes of irritation or hearing loss.
  3. If there is wax present, we’ll use a small microsuction device to apply effective but gentle suction to whisk away any traces of wax.
Once your appointment is over, you’re free to return to your day. We’ll be sure to let you know if we have any tips to keep your ears healthy or manage any other issues we’ve discovered.

Why Microsuction over Ear Syringing?

We’re often asked why we prefer microsuction over syringing, and the answer is simple—it’s easier, safer, quicker, more comfortable, more effective, and ultimately a modern advancement on conventional ear wax removal.

There are multiple reasons to recommend microsuction, including:

  • Enhanced safety: The clinical ear wax removal tool doesn’t touch your inner ear and won’t irritate sore or sensitive ears.
  • Faster ear wax removal: One treatment takes about half an hour and thoroughly removes ear wax blockages.
  • Proven Effectiveness: 99% of clients find that their ears feel significantly better without recurring issues or remaining wax.

In the unusual circumstance where some ear wax remains, we’ll remove it free of charge and can recommend a regular schedule if you’ve long had issues with ear wax and want to keep it under control.

Why Are Ear Wax Appointments With Regain Hearing Folkestone Only Available on Fridays?
As part of our mission to extend access to professional, private, and affordable audiology, we’ve launched a series of weekly or regular clinics across the Kent region. If another day is better for you, you can select slots at our other clinics in Ashford, Whitstable, Ramsgate, or any of the 11 Regain Hearing locations.
We’ve run through the benefits of microsuction above, but it’s an advanced ear wax removal method that doesn’t use any liquids. Therefore, it doesn’t cause any issues with irritation, fluid residues, or mess.
