About Our Ear Wax Removal in Maidstone
Regain Hearing uses an innovative, gentle, and pain-free process called microsuction. This more advanced technique than traditional syringing quickly removes all ear wax and blockages from your delicate inner ear.
We can complete your ear wax removal treatment swiftly and in one appointment, ensuring you are free to resume your day with the comfort of clear hearing and ear health.
Do you need ear wax removal?
Ear wax build ups and blockages are among the common causes of hearing complications. They can, for instance, contribute to the risk of ear infections, soreness, muffled hearing, and tinnitus.
Removing ear wax is a preventative measure that can protect your ears from symptoms and infections. We use the latest in professional ear wax removal to ensure your ears are thoroughly cleaned.
During your microsuction ear wax appointment, you can advise whether you’d like both or one ear to be cleaned, and our skilled audiologists can recommend follow-up appointments where this may be beneficial.
If any of the following apply, it may be time to book an appointment for ear wax removal:
- Changes to your hearing, such as partial loss of hearing on one or both sides or feeling as though noises have become muffled.
- Experiencing spatial disorientation, vertigo or issues with your balance – this can mean you feel dizzy or unsteady on your feet.
- Itching or soreness in your ears, especially persistent earaches or unpleasant odours and discharges.
- Sudden or ongoing coughing without any obvious explanation.
Your audiologist will examine your ears using imaging equipment to verify whether excess ear wax is causing your symptoms.
It is essential to consult a professional, qualified audiologist who can safely remove troublesome ear wax. Unfortunately, attempting to remove ear wax at home commonly means the wax becomes further compacted.

What to Expect At Your Ear Wax Removal Appointment
Ear wax removal takes as little as 30 minutes and is pain-free, although some clients experience a slight sensation of pressure as their ear wax and blockages are gently removed.
Relief from the symptoms of impacted ear wax is often immediate, and many patients report that their hearing clarity instantly improves.
During your appointment, we’ll work through three steps:
- First, your audiologist will discuss your symptoms and any problems you have had with your ears or hearing to ensure we are providing you with the best advice. We’ll then use a microscopic camera called a video otoscopy to look inside your ears, which helps us see the problem.
- Next, we’ll use our innovative microsuction equipment to remove your ear wax. This process is risk-free and gentle enough even for those with soreness in their ears and avoids the mess of conventional syringing.
- Finally, we will share any aftercare guidance and recommendations to protect and support healthy hearing, with a variety of potential treatments that could be advantageous, especially if there is a clear reason for your ear wax buildup.
Once your appointment has ended, you can return to your day with the assurance that if you require a follow-up appointment to remove further ear wax, we will be happy to provide this without charge.
Why Microsuction?
We often speak with clients who are surprised at the speed and gentleness of ear wax microsuction and who have been accustomed to syringing or thought this was the only solution to removing ear wax.
There are numerous reasons we prefer and only offer microsuction, including:
- Minimal mess: Ear syringing involves injecting water into your ears to flush out the ear wax—a technique that is inevitably a little uncomfortable and can leave residues and moisture on your skin and clothes. Microsuction uses a device with gentle suction to remove ear wax without any liquid.
- Ear safety: The slim microsuction device is ideal for clients with sensitive ears or ear infections because it does not come into contact with the delicate ear canal. Some common complications linked with syringing, such as perforated eardrums and infections, are easily avoided with microsuction.
- Efficiency and effectiveness: Microsuction takes around half an hour from start to finish, with a success rate of 90%+.
Microsuction is also suited to every client, including those who cannot or who prefer not to have water in their ears. This may be a personal preference or a medical need since problems such as infections in the middle ear, damage or perforation to the eardrum, or previous issues with ear irrigation procedures may dictate the right clinical approach to ear wax removal.

Ear syringing or irrigation involves injecting water into the ear to flush out the ear wax. The primary difficulties with syringing are the risk of infection, discomfort, residues, and mess and the suitability of the procedure for several client groups.
Microsuction is faster, more effective, pain-free, and safe for all clients. It uses a gentle suction function to remove the wax using a small, professional device.

Potentially, yes, ear wax can create a blockage in the ear canal, which is connected to multiple hearing issues, including infections, loss of hearing, and activating tinnitus or causing tinnitus symptoms to worsen. You can read more about this here: Does ear wax cause tinnitus?
We never recommend trying to remove ear wax at home, especially impacted ear wax, which can easily be pushed deeper into your ear canal and exacerbate pain and issues with your hearing. Our recommended microsuction technique is the safest clinical option and is appropriate even for people with damage or injuries to their eardrums.
