Everyone and I mean everyone has earwax!
No one is immune, young or old.  Our ears need it, our well being benefits from it. Ear wax is 20 to 50 percent fat, and it coats the ear canal to moisturize it, fight off infection, and help to keep dust, dirt, and other debris from getting deep inside your ear.  Most people make enough ear wax for the job required, but many of us simply make too much.  

When our ears become congested with wax it can become painful, our hearing becomes muffled, even our balance can be affected.  If we are a hearing aid user quite often earwax can build up in the canal to the point of completely blocking it. Hearing aids don't work very well for people with blocked ear canals. They often feedback (whistle) and the user does not get the full benefit of amplification.

Audiology Associates can unblock your ears quickly, safely and gently with our incredible endoscopic  microsuction technique. Endoscopic microsuction is far safer than alternative methods, as we have a visual side the ear canal throughout. This process of wax removal is much more gentle procedure than other types of ear wax removal, you can come back far more regularly for treatment, it leaves the ear completely dry.

What is Ear Wax Microsuction?
Microsuction is the safest, most effective way of cleaning wax build up and any obstruction caused by foreign bodies down the ear canal. The procedure uses a sophisticated endoscope which also provides a magnified light source enabling the delicate structures of the ear canal to be viewed throughout the whole procedure.
Ear Wax removal using Microsuction is performed with the aid of an operating microscope and a finely calibrated suction device, without the introduction of any materials or liquids.
Microsuction is a very well tolerated by the majority of people, gives you fast results hence it is much more effective than the traditional wax removal methods. It is also SAFE, as our Audiologist can see the structures inside your ear.
​
It is very rare that people may need wax softening with ear products, commonly olive oil, typically though, most clients manage to have their ears cleared in one session without any wax pre-treatment.
Microsuction Ear Wax Removal is suitable for:
  • Urgent removal prior to flying.
  • Urgent removal prior to diving.
  • When syringing is unsuitable.
  • Hearing aid users.
  • Impacted ear wax.
  • Adults and children*
The procedure takes between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on whether one or both ears are being treated.

​In safe hands
Safety is paramount and the procedure should always be comfortable and pain free. We use only fully qualified and registered experienced ear care professionals & Audiologists who are additionally trained to the standards set out by their registering body. We have also worked closely with insurance providers to make sure our practitioners and their patients are fully covered.

How much does this procedure cost?
£45 for one ear wax removal and £65 for both ears.

Location
​We carry out this procedure in many convenient local ear wax clinics.  
Cardiff
Abergavenny
Ebbw Vale
Chepstow &
Newport are our most popular clinic locations.

Cant get to clinic?

The bigger picture
If the problem isn't a blocked ear, then a hearing test will be carried out and/or referral advice will be given in place of your suctioning procedure.

So my advice to you is simple, book in, call us, click on the link below- We've seen wax before, loads of it, even the really good compacted hard stuff!! (Check out the pic below, the wax we removed is placed next to a 5p piece, we were kindly given permission to use this pic by our lovely patient)  To us it's not gruesome, dirty or any of these daft thoughts that have gone through your mind.  To our team, your wax is the barrier to your hearing health, plain and simple.  Hearing Health is our passion-bring to on!!

Hi I believe I have a blocked ear caused by either wax or water. The problem was current for around four days. Ive since prodded and pocked with ear buds and now theres is no let up. My ear rings with not as good hearing. It is always sore to touch.

For years on and off when bathing I can often get water stuck in my ear but I can pass. I did try a over the counter ear solution that did present thick was to it the ones. But nothing since.

Im in the Abertillery are and would love if I could be seen this week?

Thanks.

Please can you send me some details re ear wax removal. My mum lives in Merthyr Tydfil, is 90 years old, with mobility issues. She has a bad build of wax in her ear, and the hospital can't fit her new hearing aid until the wax is removed. Do you have disabled access? Do you have Saturday appointments? Or do you do home visits? Thanks, Sarah
