Cardiff & the Vale of Glamorgan
Ear Wax Removal Treatments
Two proven methods, one comfortable appointment at our Whitchurch clinic in Cardiff.
Book an appointment
Not sure whether you need microsuction or irrigation? You do not have to decide — our clinicians assess your ears when you arrive and use whichever method is safest and most comfortable for you. Both are quick, carried out with professional equipment, and available at our Cardiff (Whitchurch) clinic.
Microsuction
The modern gold standard. Using a fine suction device and magnified vision, your clinician lifts wax out of the ear canal without any water. It is precise, tidy and suitable for most people, including those with a history of ear problems. You will hear a soft whooshing sound, but it should not hurt.
Ear Irrigation
A gentle, carefully controlled flow of warm water flushes softened wax from the ear — a refined version of traditional syringing. Where it is the better option for you, it is a comfortable and effective way to clear a blockage.

Appointments are for adults (18+) at The Whitchurch Clinic, 1st Floor, 57 Merthyr Road, Cardiff, CF14 1DD. Please note the clinic is on the first floor with stair access only, so you will need to be able to manage a flight of stairs. You pay after your appointment by cash or card.

Please note
To give us the best chance of clearing everything in one visit, please put olive oil drops in your ears twice a day for 2–4 days beforehand to soften the wax — unless there is a medical reason not to, such as a perforated ear drum, grommets or an ear infection. If we look and there is genuinely no wax to remove, a £25 consultation fee applies to cover the clinic time set aside for you.
Preparation
How to prepare
A few days of olive oil drops usually makes removal quicker and more comfortable. If you are unsure whether the drops are right for you, just call us before you come in and we will happily talk it through.
