Blocked ears? Choose audiology-led microsuction in London. At Pindrop Hearing, ear wax removal is delivered with clinical care, specialist equipment and a patient-first approach.

Audiology-led ear care

Your appointment is carried out by trained hearing care professionals who understand ear health, hearing and patient comfort — not by a sales-led clinic.

Clean, controlled microsuction

Microsuction is a dry procedure, avoiding the mess and discomfort often associated with water-based ear irrigation.

Designed around your comfort

Pindrop’s patient-first approach means you are listened to, talked through the process, and cared for at a pace that feels right for you.

Clinical standards you can trust

Pindrop Hearing was founded by Dr Rony Ganguly and is built around evidence-based audiology, high clinical standards and purpose-built clinics with advanced equipment.

“A superb service all round, I would highly recommend. I attended the clinic in Winchmore Hill N21 because my ear was blocked. The staff were so kind and considerate and the microsuction was easy and painless and completed within 10 minutes. I was very impressed and would highly recommend”

Andrew Wood, March 2025

Ear Wax Removal – Your Questions Answered

Microsuction ear wax removal is quick, safe, and effective — but we know you may still have questions. Here are some of the most common ones we get from patients before their appointment.

What is microsuction ear wax removal?

Microsuction is a safe and modern method that uses gentle suction to remove ear wax while the clinician watches through a microscope. It’s clean, quick, and doesn’t use water.

Is microsuction ear wax removal better than ear syringing?

Yes. Unlike syringing (also known as irrigation), microsuction doesn’t involve flushing water into the ear. It’s generally more comfortable, causes less mess, and has a lower risk of infection or complications.

Does ear wax removal hurt?

No — most patients find it completely painless. You may feel a slight tickling or suction sensation, but it’s over quickly and without discomfort.

How long does ear wax removal take?

The time allocated for the appointment is 30 minutes. Our aim is to complete the procedure fully and successfully in this time, which is the outcome in the vast majority of cases. If, however, the procedure cannot be completed in this time, due to very hard, impacted or stubborn wax, then a second appointment may be booked to complete the procedure. If a second, or follow up appointment is required, this will be charged at a reduced rate of £50.

Do I need to use olive oil drops before ear wax removal?

It’s not always necessary, but softening the wax with olive oil drops for a few days before your appointment can make the process easier and faster.

Can children have microsuction ear wax removal?

Yes, but we recommend contacting us first to confirm suitability. Our clinicians are experienced and trained to treat both adults and children. The minimum age is 5 years old.

Is microsuction safe if I have a perforated eardrum?

Yes — microsuction is generally considered one of the safest ear wax removal methods for patients with a perforated eardrum or a history of ear surgery because it does not involve introducing water into the ear canal. At Pindrop Hearing, your ears are carefully assessed before treatment to ensure the safest approach is used for your individual circumstances.

Is microsuction safe if I have tinnitus?

In most cases, yes. Microsuction is widely used for patients with tinnitus and is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified clinician. Some people notice temporary changes in tinnitus perception immediately after treatment due to the ear canal suddenly being clear again, but this usually settles quickly. Your clinician can discuss any concerns before treatment begins.

How often should I have my ears cleaned?

There is no set rule for ear cleaning because everyone produces ear wax differently. Some people may only need ear wax removal every few years, while hearing aid users or people who naturally produce more wax may benefit from treatment every 6–12 months. Your clinician can advise you based on your ear health and wax build-up.

What if my wax comes back quickly?

Recurring ear wax build-up is common, particularly in people who wear hearing aids, use earphones regularly, or naturally produce excess wax. If your symptoms return quickly after treatment, we can help you create a longer-term ear care plan and advise on safe ways to manage wax build-up between appointments.

My hearing feels different after — is that normal?

Yes — many patients notice that sounds seem sharper or louder immediately after ear wax removal because their hearing is no longer blocked. This adjustment is completely normal and usually settles within a short time as your ears adapt again to clearer hearing.

Why can't my GP do ear wax removal anymore?

Many GP surgeries across the UK have reduced or stopped routine ear wax removal services due to NHS resource pressures and changing commissioning guidelines. As a result, many patients now choose private ear wax removal clinics like Pindrop Hearing for faster access to professional treatment without long waiting times.

Is ear wax removal covered by health insurance?

Some private health insurance providers may contribute towards ear wax removal or related audiology services depending on your policy. We recommend checking directly with your insurer before your appointment. If needed, we can provide invoices or supporting documentation for your claim.
