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.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was seen by audiologist and Dr Arun, they were attentive, caring and took time to listen and adaptations were made throughout the appointment to support my anxiety and claustrophobia. This made a significant difference and genuinely helped me through the audiology testing. I gave an explanation of my current symptoms to Dr Arun he displayed great listening, compassion and understanding. The treatment I received on the day has greatly improved my symptoms, the one reassuring thing is any follow up is required is knowing that I will be in safe hands. I received my clinic letter promptly. After care queries handled by the admin team was exceptional, prompt and helpful. Overall the service was impeccable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience with Harley Street Vestibular Clinic and cannot recommend them highly enough. I developed severe vertigo while visiting London, and it was an incredibly frightening experience as it was my first time ever experiencing dizziness like that. I called the clinic on a Saturday, fully expecting to leave a voicemail since they were closed. To my surprise, the office manager, Preeti, returned my call that same day. I was so grateful. She was kind, reassuring, and went above and beyond to arrange an appointment for me first thing on Monday. From the moment I arrived, the entire team was professional, efficient, and compassionate. They understood how urgent and distressing my symptoms were and made every effort to see me as quickly as possible. The vestibular audiologist was exceptional—she took the time to thoroughly evaluate me, clearly explain everything she was doing, answer every one of my questions, and perform the appropriate treatment. I never felt rushed, and her expertise immediately gave me confidence that I was in the right hands. The clinic was incredibly responsive, organized, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They turned what was a very scary situation into one where I felt supported and well cared for. I am truly thankful to Preeti and the entire team for their kindness, professionalism, and outstanding care. If you are experiencing vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems, I would not hesitate to recommend Harley Street Vestibular Clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Benjamin Shaw was extremely thorough in his assessment of my recent attacks of vertigo. I have total confidence in his ability, once I have completed the further tests he has arranged at the Wimbledon clinic, to diagnose what is causing this  issue with my health.

Pinpointing the Cause

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.
