Frequently Asked Questions
Is the procedure painful?
No. The procedure is gentle and designed to be as comfortable as possible. Most patients experience no discomfort at all.
How long does an appointment take?
Appointments typically last 20-30 minutes, depending on whether one or both ears are being treated.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Using olive oil drops or an over-the-counter ear wax softener for 3-5 days before your appointment can help soften the wax and make removal quicker and easier.
How often should ear wax be removed?
Ear wax is a natural protective substance and most people don't need regular removal. We only recommend treatment when wax is causing symptoms such as blocked ears or reduced hearing.
Is a deposit required to book?
A small deposit may be required to secure your appointment and will be discussed when you book. It will be deducted from your final fee.
