Ear Hygiene and Ear Wax Removal
The production of ear wax is completely normal. However, if your ears feel clogged and you’d like to discuss this with a clinician or to book Ear Wax Removal via a routine micro-suction session, please contact us: +44 20 7935 5511. Many patients contact us after noticing common ear wax blockage symptoms such as muffled hearing, pressure, or ringing in the ears.
At our safe ear wax removal clinic in London, we use micro suction to clear the ear canal safely and effectively. This technique allows our clinicians to remove wax under direct vision, maintaining comfort throughout the procedure. Patients seeking pain-free ear wax removal can be assured that the process is carried out by experienced audiologists in a clinical environment designed for precision and care.
Ear wax and tiny hairs in the ear canal catch dust, bacteria, and other small particles, preventing them from getting further into the ear and damaging deeper structures, such as the eardrum. Problems can occur when ear wax builds up and becomes impacted. This can obstruct the ear canal, affecting one’s hearing and often requiring impacted ear wax treatment from a qualified clinician. A buildup of too much earwax can even cause tinnitus.
Although it is extremely tempting to use a cotton bud or some other object to insert into your ear, especially if it is itchy, we strongly advise against it. Sensitive structures such as the eardrum can be permanently damaged by the insertion of foreign objects. Ear wax and dead skin sometimes naturally migrates out of the ear canal but often a build up of earwax needs clinical removal using quick painless micro-suction. This form of ear wax removal is carried out safely in our London clinic in about 15 minutes and is designed to minimise risk while restoring hearing clarity.
Our ear wax removal in London is suitable for all ages and especially beneficial for hearing aid users. Routine ear wax removal for hearing aids helps prevent blockage of the device microphones and receivers, supporting clearer sound and reliable performance.
Foreign Bodies in the Ear
For example insects, earrings, food particles, and the tips of cotton buds are some of the things that are sometimes discovered in patients’ ears. If left in the ear canal, foreign objects can cause irritation, infection, bleeding, and in worst cases, hearing loss, so they must be dealt with quickly by a professional.
Our ear cleaning specialists are experienced in removing both ear wax and foreign bodies safely, using professional equipment under direct vision. This approach reduces trauma to the ear canal and supports safe outcomes for patients seeking ear wax removal in London within a clinical setting.
If you feel you have excessive ear wax, a foreign body in your ear, or if you use hearing technology, the best course of action is to seek help from a professional and to have regular ongoing maintenance treatment. Ear wax removal helps avoid complications associated with untreated blockage and repeated self-cleaning attempts. Our clinicians are highly skilled, with decades of experience in working with the delicate ear canal, to quickly and safely remove obstructions.
Ear hygiene forms part of our holistic approach to hearing wellness, ensuring the ear canal remains clear and healthy to help protect the eardrum from unnecessary irritation or damage.
As well as ear wax build up, or impaction, another common occurrence is when a foreign body gets stuck in the ear canal.
Modern and Safe Microsuction
At The Well Being BY CUBEX, we remove excessive ear wax and foreign objects from our patients’ ears using a procedure called Micro-Suction. This method is widely recognised as a modern standard of care for ear wax removal.
Traditional ear syringing uses high pressure water to flush out blockages in the ear and is now strongly discouraged. There is no guarantee that the blockage will be removed, and there are other inherent risks too, particularly for individuals with a history of ear problems.
Micro-Suction is a safe, comfortable and pain-free technique that involves the use of a binocular microscope to get a clear view inside the ear canal, and fine low pressure suction, to safely remove debris and blockages. Micro suction ear wax removal allows for precise treatment while preserving the natural structures of the ear. Micro-Suction also allows us to examine the patient’s ear structure in detail, for signs of damage or infection.
Each procedure is carried out by our qualified audiologists at our professional ear wax removal clinic in London, ensuring clinical accuracy and patient reassurance throughout.
If you have build-up of impacted ear wax, a foreign body in your ear canal, or are a regular hearing aid user, we can assure you of safe, pain-free, professional care delivered in a calm clinical environment.
Our goal is to maintain long-term ear hygiene and protect your hearing health through consistent, evidence-based care delivered by qualified hearing professionals.
