A doctor examines both ears under magnification, removes the wax by gentle suction with no water, and looks at the ear drum once the canal is clear, from £195, with same day appointments. If the problem is an infection rather than wax, the same doctor cleans the canal and prescribes drops at the visit, £295. Children are seen by a doctor in an unhurried appointment, £245.

The evidence behind how we do it
At The Wellness a doctor sees you, explains what they find, writes down what happens next, and the same practice is there for anything that follows.
Results that nobody acts on are a known failure in outpatient care. A systematic review of 19 studies found that between 6.8% and 62% of laboratory results were not followed up, and missed results were linked to delayed diagnoses. Callen and colleagues, Failure to follow-up test results for ambulatory patients, a systematic review, Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2012
Seeing the same doctor matters. A systematic review found 22 studies of continuity of doctor care and mortality, and 18 of them reported lower death rates when patients saw the same doctor more often. Pereira Gray and colleagues, Continuity of care with doctors, a matter of life and death? A systematic review of continuity of care and mortality, BMJ Open, 2018
Ask whether it is wax
Message us with what you notice, and a clinician will tell you whether microsuction or a doctor’s review fits. Messages are usually answered within minutes.
Ask a clinicianQuestions to ask before ear wax removal
- Who removes the wax, a doctor, a nurse or an audiologist?
- Is it one ear or both at that price?
- What does a follow up cost if the wax does not all come out?
- Can the same person treat an infection if that is the problem?
How to read an ear wax removal price
Check whether the price covers both ears, because a few clinics price per ear.
Check the follow up fee, because hard wax sometimes needs a second visit.
