Relief Begins with Gentle Removal

Ear Wax Removal in London

The process of wax removal seems on the surface to be very straightforward. But because of the delicate nature of the inner ear, it is crucial that you only let highly-trained professionals get anywhere near your ear. At Harley Street Audiovestibular Clinic, we offer microsuction by highly trained medical professionals who have done this procedure thousands of times.

An Overview of Wax Removal

Ear wax is a completely natural and normal thing. It plays an important role in maintaining the health of our ears and is known to have antibacterial properties that act as a line of defence between the outside world and the delicate workings of the inner ear. It also stops dust, pollen and other airborne contaminants from reaching the inner ear and possibly causing problems. Sometimes, however, too much ear wax will accumulate, requiring people to seek help in the form of professional wax removal.

Ear wax – scientific name “cerumen” – is secreted by glands in the outer portion of the ear canal. Most of the time it is expelled naturally from the ear and no intervention is required. In some instances, however, it can bunch up inside the ear creating a blockage that causes hearing loss, earaches, tinnitus, dizziness, and various other problems. When that happens, it is time to call the experts at Harley Street AVM and make an appointment for wax removal.

When Blockage Affects Hearing or Comfort

Safe Removal Guided by Clinical Assessment

You should consider microsuction wax removal if you experience blocked ears, reduced hearing, ear fullness, or discomfort that does not settle. Wax build-up causing feedback with hearing aids, dizziness, or difficulty hearing on one side should be assessed safely.

This service is also important if symptoms worsen suddenly, follow an infection, or recur frequently. At Harley AVM, we ensure wax removal is appropriate and do not proceed when medical review is required.

How We Deliver Microsuction Wax Removal

At Harley Audiovestibular Clinic, microsuction wax removal begins with a brief but careful clinical review. We discuss symptoms, ear health history, hearing changes, and any recent infections, surgery, or use of hearing devices. A detailed ear examination is carried out to confirm that wax removal is appropriate and safe.

Microsuction is then performed by trained clinicians using direct visual control and specialised equipment. The process is precise and controlled, avoiding irrigation or pressure-based techniques. After removal, the ears are reassessed, and guidance is provided to support ear health and reduce the likelihood of future wax build-up.
