The ear health consultation is £5. If wax removal is suitable, the removal fee is £30 per ear per visit.
How long does the appointment take?
Appointments usually take around 30 minutes, including the ear check, explanation of the procedure and aftercare advice.
Do I need wax removal regularly?

What symptoms can ear wax build-up cause?
Ear wax build-up can cause blocked ears, reduced hearing, discomfort, ringing in the ears, dizziness or a feeling of fullness in the ear.
Can everyone have ear wax removal?
No. Suitability depends on your ear health, symptoms and medical history. If you have pain, discharge, recent infections, previous ear surgery or a suspected perforated eardrum, you may need to speak to your GP first.
Should I use olive oil drops before my appointment?
You may be advised to use suitable olive oil drops before your appointment to soften the wax. Do not use drops if you have ear pain, discharge, suspected infection or a suspected perforated eardrum unless advised by a healthcare professional.
