Proper softening improves comfort and enhances the effectiveness of the procedure.

- We understand that ear wax build-up can be unpredictable.

In such cases, we offer a goodwill refund of £5 per ear with no wax, as a courtesy.

Safe Comfortable Ear Wax Removal With An Audiologist In Your Local Area
Your ears and hearing are delicate, and their care should be in expert hands. Some providers delegate ear wax removal to lay people, viewing it as a routine procedure. However, we believe it requires the skill and expertise of a trained Audiologist.
At our clinics, only qualified Audiologists perform ear wax removal, ensuring that your ears are cared for by a specialist with in-depth knowledge of ear anatomy and physiology. This minimises the risk of injury and ensures a safe, effective procedure tailored to your needs. Your hearing is too important to leave to chance, and we are committed to providing the highest standard of care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Hearing First as my ear wax removal provider?
Here are six reasons why Hearing First is the best choice for safe and professional ear wax removal:
✔ Waxfree Guarantee™ – We are the only ear wax removal provider to offer this exclusive guarantee.
✔ In-House Clinicians – All of our Audiologists are directly employed by Hearing First—we are not a referral service.
✔ Audiology Experts – Our clinicians are qualified Audiologists who specialise in hearing—we do not employ pharmacy assistants, podiatrists, or beauticians.
✔ Ongoing Professional Training – Our Audiologists undergo regular professional development to stay at the forefront of audiology advancements.
✔ Advanced Equipment – We use the Vorotek O-Scope, which provides superior depth perception up to the eardrum, making it safer than loupes, video-endoscopes, or the Tympa system.
✔ Safe & Effective Techniques – All of our Audiologists are trained in both microsuction and manual instrument methods, the most precise and comfortable ear wax removal techniques available.
With Hearing First, you’re in the hands of dedicated registered professionals who prioritise your well-being and hearing care.What are the four methods of ear wax removal?
The four methods of ear wax removal are:
1. Irrigation (aka syringing)
2. Endoscopic ear wax removal
3. Microsuction
4. Manual instrumentsDo you use all four methods of ear wax removal?
There are four recognised methods of ear wax removal, but while each has its own merits, they are not equal in terms of effectiveness and safety. No method is completely risk-free, but some are significantly safer than others. The key factor in ensuring a safe and successful procedure is the expertise and training of the practitioner. Is the person treating you a qualified Audiologist with in-depth knowledge of the ear, or are they a beautician, podiatrist, or pharmacy assistant with limited ear care training?
The Four Methods of Ear Wax Removal
❌ Irrigation (Not Used at Hearing First)
We have never used irrigation due to its higher risk of complications, including eardrum perforation. This method, sometimes referred to as “spray and pray”, involves flushing the ear with water without direct visualisation of the ear canal. The force of the water jet can unintentionally strike the eardrum, particularly if an undiagnosed infection has weakened it.❌ Endoscopic Microsuction (Not Used at Hearing First)
We conducted a year-long evaluation of this method and found several significant drawbacks:
✗ The endoscope is bulky, making it uncomfortable in narrow ear canals.
✗ 2D imaging lacks depth perception, increasing the risk of accidental injury.
✗ The heavy battery pack causes hand fatigue, making it impractical for all-day clinic use.
✗ It is better suited for video demonstrations than clinical precision.✅ Microsuction (Preferred Method at Hearing First)
✔ Widely regarded as the safest method for ear wax removal.
✔ Performed using a fixed or portable ENT microscope (e.g. Vorotek O-Scope) for superior depth perception.
✔ Ideal when wax has been properly softened.
✔ If wax is deep, we use a fine end suction tube, reducing airflow by 75% for a quieter, more comfortable experience.See AlsoThe British Academy of Audiology calls for return of NHS GP ear wax removal services for all - British Academy of AudiologyHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Late Local Toxic Effects in Patients With Irradiated Breast Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial✅ Manual Instrument Removal (Used When Necessary)
✔ Effective when wax is too firm or sticky for microsuction.
✔ Used if wax is adhering to the ear canal wall (often due to insufficient softening).
✔ While patients may feel temporary pressure, the instant relief when the wax is removed makes it worthwhile.A Tailored Approach for the Best Results
In many cases, our clinicians use a combination of microsuction and manual instruments, as wax can vary in consistency depending on how long it has been in the ear and how well it has softened.
No matter which method is used, as long as you follow our Waxbusting Protocol™, you are covered by our Waxfree Guarantee™—if we can’t remove your wax at the first appointment, your second visit is free!
Why do I need to soften my ear wax?
Our audiologists are highly trained professionals, and your safety is their top priority. The skin lining your ear canal is extremely delicate—it ranges from 1mm thick at the entrance to just 0.1mm (4 thousandths of an inch) at the eardrum.
Ear wax is often hard and sticky—if it weren’t, it would naturally work its way out, as the ear is self-cleaning for most people. When wax becomes impacted, it can stick to the delicate ear canal lining, increasing the risk of scratches, irritation, or damage during removal.
Pre-softening the wax is highly recommended because:
✔ It makes removal safer and more comfortable
✔ It reduces the risk of irritation or injury to the ear canal
✔ Clinical research confirms it lowers the chances of dizziness or discomfort during the procedure
For the safest and most effective treatment, we always recommend following our pre-softening guidelines before your appointment.
When I use drops or spray my hearing gets worse. Should I stop?
No, don’t stop! We normally expect this to occur.
When you apply ear drops or spray, the liquid fills the tiny gaps around the wax, temporarily reducing your hearing. If the wax is dry, it will also expand as it absorbs the softener—much like a raisin plumping up in water.
This is a sign that the wax softener is working, helping to break down the wax for a smoother, more comfortable removal.
For the best results, continue following the Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™ or apply Earol olive oil spray 4 times a day for 5 days until your appointment.
I’m unable to soften both ears due to my work or caring duties. What can I do?
This is a common challenge, and is one of the reasons why we offer a discount for single-ear procedures.
We recommend booking an appointment for one ear first, following the Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™ for that ear. Once it has been treated, you can then repeat the process for your other ear at a later appointment.
This approach ensures both ears receive the proper care while fitting around your schedule.
I need ear wax removal urgently and don’t have time to soften it. What should I do?
If you can book at least one day in advance, we recommend speaking to a pharmacist and purchasing Waxsol or sodium bicarbonate with glycerol ear drops over the counter. Use them in both ears the night before and again on the morning of your appointment. While this isn’t as effective as the Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™, it’s better than nothing and can improve the chances of successful removal.
If you book on the same day and haven’t softened your wax at all, you’ll need to agree to a disclaimer. We will do our best to remove the wax, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee success in these cases.
I can’t find Earol, but I found something called Cl-ear Olive Oil Ear Spray – is that ok?
Yes. Cl-ear Olive Oil Ear Spray is almost equivalent to Earol, and can be used as part of our Waxbusting Protocol™. The difference between them is that Earol is in a sealed sterile container and can be used for up to 6 months, while Cl-ear Ear Spray is good to use for up to 28 days.
The Pharmacist says ordinary pharmacy grade olive oil with a dropper is just the same as Earol. Can I use that and still take advantage of the Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee™?
No, it must be an olive oil spray rather than drops.
Earol uses a micronised spray, which breaks the oil into tiny droplets that penetrate ear wax far more effectively than standard olive oil drops. Additionally, Earol (and other olive oil sprays) should be applied with the head upright, encouraging wax to move towards the ear canal entrance.
In contrast, olive oil drops require you to tilt your head to the side, which can cause wax to shift closer to the eardrum, making removal more difficult.
Other brands, such as Cl-ear Olive Oil Spray, can be used as an alternative to Earol.
At Hearing First, we have performed over 60,000 ear wax removal procedures, refining the Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™ to ensure safe and effective treatment. To qualify for the Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee™, only this protocol can be used.
The Pharmacist says Otex Express is the best ear wax softener. Can I use that and still take advantage of the Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee™?
No, unfortunately, you can’t. While Otex Express is heavily marketed—even to pharmacists—our clinical experience tells a different story.
We’ve treated many patients who have used Otex Express and experienced sore, red ear canals and peeling skin due to the hydrogen peroxide it contains. This can cause unnecessary irritation and discomfort during the wax removal procedure.
At Hearing First, we’ve carried out over 60,000 ear wax removal procedures, refining our approach to ensure the best results with maximum comfort. Our Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™ is a safe, effective method designed to prepare your ears for wax removal without causing irritation.
To qualify for the Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee™, we require patients to follow this protocol exclusively, ensuring the best possible outcome.
The nurse / doctor / pharmacist recommended sodium bicarbonate ear drops as a cheap and effective wax softener. Can I use that and still take advantage of the Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee™?
Yes, you can. Be careful to only use sodium bicarbonate for two days at the beginning of the Waxbusting Protocol™, followed by three days of using Earol olive oil spray. The ear canal surface is designed to be acidic in order to discourage the growth of bacterial and fungal spores. While sodium bicarbonate is indeed effective at softening ear wax, it is alkaline and can neutralise the acidity of the canal surface, sometimes causing the upper layer of skin to peel off, especially when used for more than a few days. This can increase the chances of a painful outer ear infection (otitis externa), and make make the ear canal swollen and sensitive, making for an unnecessarily uncomfortable ear wax removal procedure.
Over the course of more than 60,000 ear wax removal procedures, we have developed the Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™, which is safe and effective, and only this protocol will be accepted for the Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee™
Do you have any advice for ear care after ear wax removal?
When you use the Hearing First Wax Busting Protocol™, it greatly reduces the chances of scratches or damage to the ear canal surface. However, there may be microscopic scratches that we cannot see. We therefore recommend that you keep your ears dry for 4 to 5 days to allow the skin surface to start to recover. During this period, when you shower or wash your hair, you will need to get some cotton wool balls and Vaseline (or other petroleum jelly), saturate two cotton wool balls with the Vaseline, squish them up and place one in the outer bowl of each ear – this will prevent water from entering the ear canal.
Moving forwards, in order to reduce wax build up our advice has changed to keeping your ears dry as much as possible, rather than regularly applying olive oil. Our Director, Mary Levy studied this phenomenon over the course of 6 months and her research is published here.
I get itchy ears, especially after swimming or showering, and they sometimes get sore – what should I do?
We would always recommend booking an ear examination with an Audiologist or doctor before trying self-treatment, but a good product is Otinova, which can be purchased online in our web shop here. It contains several ingredients which are antibacterial and antifungal and reduce itching. If the itching continues despite 7 days treatment, we recommend you seek medical advice, as a prescription strength medicine may be necessary.
I’ve seen a plumber / beautician / nurse offering wax removal much cheaper – aren’t they just as good?
When choosing a provider for ear wax removal, it’s important to consider more than just price. Since ear wax removal is an unregulated procedure in the UK, you should be extremely cautious about who you trust with your ears. Here’s why:
✔ Medical expertise matters – NHS GP surgeries have largely stopped using nurses for ear wax removal, as it requires specialised skills.
✔ Your ears are delicate – Your eardrum is just 0.1mm (4 thousandths of an inch) thick. While surgery can repair damage, success isn’t guaranteed. You only have one set of ears—protect them.
✔ Training makes a difference – Lay people offering wax removal typically complete only a one- or two-day course. They lack in-depth knowledge of ear anatomy, physiology, and potential complications. Without ongoing supervision under an ear specialist, their experience is extremely limited.
✔ Our expertise – At Hearing First, all our audiologists have studied Audiology for at least six months, with most having three years of formal education in ear anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Most also hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Pathology of the Auditory System and ENT Emergencies, equipping them to recognise and manage complex ear health issues.
Choosing a provider with the right expertise ensures not just effective treatment, but also your long-term ear health and safety.
Who should be allowed to perform ear wax removal?
This is an important question, especially since ear wax removal is currently unregulated in the UK. In reality, anyone can call themselves an “ear wax removal practitioner” after just a one- or two-day course, obtain indemnity insurance, and start a business—with little to no experience.
However, the ear is an extremely delicate organ, and improper wax removal can cause serious damage. The eardrum, for example, is only 0.1mm (4 thousandths of an inch) thick, and while surgery can sometimes repair it, the risks of permanent harm are significant.
For public safety, we strongly recommend that anyone performing ear wax removal should have at least six months of formal training in:
✔ Ear anatomy (understanding the structure of the ear)
✔ Physiology (how the ear functions)
✔ Pathology (identifying conditions that may appear to be wax but could indicate a more serious issue)
At a minimum, this level of training corresponds to roles such as Associate Audiologist or Audiologist Assistant. Even then, these individuals should only operate under the supervision of a Registered Hearing Aid Dispenser—an experienced audiologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the only statutory professional regulator of Audiologists. The list therefore includes:
🔹 HCPC-Registered Hearing Aid Dispensers
🔹 Audiologists
🔹 Associate Audiologists / Audiologist Assistants
Other suitable professionals include:
🔹 ENT surgeons
🔹 ENT nurses with a minimum of three years of experience working under an ENT specialist
We strongly advise that anyone carrying out ear wax removal should either:
✔ Be registered with a relevant statutory professional body (e.g., HCPC, GMC)
✔ Work under the supervision of a qualified professional on such a register
This ensures they adhere to strict professional codes of conduct, ethics, and safety standards—giving you confidence that your ear health is in expert hands.
What if I haven’t been able to follow the Wax Busting Protocol™ for the full five days or couldn’t find the recommended products?
You’re still in excellent hands. Hearing First’s audiologists are highly trained in microsuction and manual instrument ear wax removal and have an industry-leading first appointment success rate of 99.8%.
In the unlikely event that your wax is too hard or too impacted to be fully removed in one session, we offer a 40% discount on a follow-up appointment. While we always aim for complete removal in one visit, your long-term ear health is our priority.
Your ears and hearing are delicate and precious, and our audiologists will always err on the side of caution. In some cases, it’s better to remove the wax comfortably and effectively over two appointments rather than risk discomfort by forcing it in one go.
How much does it cost to remove wax from ear?
The cost of ear wax removal can vary depending on the provider and method used. At professional Audiologist-led clinics like Hearing First, the price for microsuction or manual instrument ear wax removal typically ranges from £50 to £80, although with advance booking and other promotions it can be as low as from £49.
How do I know if my ears need wax removal?
Symptoms that may indicate the need for ear wax removal include reduced hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, discomfort, or tinnitus. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is best to consult an Audiologist who can assess your condition and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Do NHS still do ear syringing?
No, the NHS no longer routinely offers ear syringing due to safety concerns and the risk of damaging the ear canal. Instead, they recommend safer and more effective methods such as microsuction and manual instrument ear wax removal, which should only be performed by trained registered professionals like Audiologists.
Is microsuction better than syringing?
Yes, microsuction is considered to be safer and more effective than syringing. Microsuction uses gentle suction to remove ear wax, significantly reducing the risk of damage to the delicate ear canal and eardrum. It also provides a more precise and comfortable experience for the patient.
How painful is ear wax removal?
Ear wax removal, especially when performed by a registered Audiologist using microsuction or manual instruments, is generally not painful. Some people may experience slight discomfort during the procedure, but it is typically minimal and brief. The use of advanced techniques ensures a safer and more comfortable experience.
How to scoop out ear wax at home?
It is not recommended to scoop out ear wax at home due to the risk of damaging the ear canal or eardrum. Instead, use Earol olive oil spray to soften the wax and seek professional help if needed. Audiologists can safely remove ear wax using methods like microsuction or manual instruments.
How to flush out ear wax?
Flushing out ear wax at home is not recommended due to the risk of damaging the ear canal or eardrum. Instead, use Earol spray 4 times a day for 5 days to soften the wax and seek professional help from an professionally registered Audiologist. Audiologists use safe and effective methods like microsuction to remove the wax without causing harm.
What happens if your ear is blocked for too long?
If your ear remains blocked for an extended period, it can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, and potentially infections. Prolonged blockage may also cause tinnitus or a feeling of fullness in the ear. It is important to seek professional help from an Audiologist if the blockage persists.
Can I use hydrogen peroxide or sodium bicarbonate drops?
Ear drops containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide are effective at dissolving ear wax quickly, although the peroxide bleach they contain can irritate the delicate lining of the ear canal and in some cases cause severe pain. Also, peroxide-based drops have a 50% chance of the wax going deeper into the ear instead of coming out.
Olive oil drops can also help soften the wax for easier removal and are more gentle than peroxide-based drops, but can also cause wax to slide deeper into the ear. For best results and safety, it is advisable to use Earol olive oil spray with the head upright for 4 times a day for 5 days and seek professional removal from a registered Audiologist, who can ensure the process is done correctly.
Can I get my ears syringed at Boots/Specsavers?
Some branches offer ear wax removal services for £55, but it is essential to ensure the procedure is performed by a trained registered professional Audiologist, as many high street retailers have begun using receptionists and sales staff to perform ear wax removal – often with only one or two days of training. Audiologists have at least 6 months’ training and most have at least two years’ training in the anatomy and physiology of the ear, and are therefore appropriate professionals to use safer methods like microsuction, which reduce the risk of damage to the delicate structures of the ear and provide a more effective treatment.

Can I get my ears syringed at a chemist?
Chemists typically do not offer ear syringing due to safety concerns and the potential for ear damage. Instead, it is recommended to visit an Audiologist who uses safer methods such as microsuction or manual ear wax removal. These professionals have the necessary training to handle the procedure safely.
How to massage ear wax out?
Gently massaging the area around the ear can sometimes help move wax toward the outer ear. Use soft circular motions, but avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. For complete and safe removal, it is best to seek professional help from an Audiologist who can use appropriate techniques, such as microsuction and manual instruments.
How long does it take for olive oil to clear ear wax?
Using olive oil drops can take several weeks to months to clear ear wax. It should be noted that as well as softening ear wax, olive oil, like any liquid, also causes ear wax to expand and can worsen the blockage, at least temporarily. In order to quickly and efficiently clear ear wax, it is recommended to apply two squirts of Earol olive oil spray 4 times a day for 5 days and seek professional removal from a registered Audiologist to ensure the wax is safely and expertly removed.
Why don’t doctors remove ear wax anymore?
Doctors avoid removing ear wax to prevent the risks associated with traditional methods like syringing. Modern techniques such as microsuction, which require specialised training, are safer and more effective. These methods should be performed by trained professionals like Audiologists to ensure patient safety.
Can I get my ears syringed at a pharmacy?
Pharmacies are not suitable places for ear wax removal because they typically lack the extensive training required in the anatomy and physiology of the ear. It is recommended to seek services from a registered Audiologist who has undergone at least six months of specialised training to ensure safe and effective treatment.
What has replaced ear syringing?
Microsuction and manual instrument ear wax removal have replaced ear syringing due to their higher safety and effectiveness. These methods are less likely to cause damage to the ear canal or eardrum and are performed by trained, registered Audiologists who have extensive knowledge of ear anatomy and physiology.

Methods such as microsuction or manual instrument removal performed by trained professionals ensure the procedure is safe and effective.
Does my GP offer ear wax removal?

Audiologists use safe and effective methods like microsuction to remove the wax without causing harm.
Can I get my ears syringed for free in UK?
Free ear syringing is generally no longer available through the NHS. Patients often need to seek private services for ear wax removal, which may come at a cost. Methods like microsuction, performed by trained and registered Audiologists, ensure the procedure is safe and effective. In general, the very cheapest services will be offered by amateurs, who are not statutory-registered health professionals, and there will be an increased risk of complications such as a ruptured ear drum or infection due to their low level of training. It is therefore advisable to be seen in an Audiologist-led clinic where you can be sure of the highest level of care.
