Included with every visit

A full ear health check, every time

Every treatment starts with an otoscope examination of your ear canal and eardrum. Your practitioner assesses your unique ear canal and any related symptoms — and with video-otoscopy you can see your ears before and after.

1 Otoscope examination — a clear view inside your ear canal and eardrum before anything else.

2 Recommended method — microsuction or water irrigation — decided on the day, based on your examination and treatment needs.

3 Aftercare advice — see the before-and-after, plus guidance to keep your ears healthy.

Common symptoms

Experiencing any of these symptoms?

Ear wax build-up causes a range of symptoms. If any of these sound familiar, our specialist team can help — usually the same day.

Get checked today

Earache

Common, especially in young children. Our experts quickly help diagnose and fix the issue.

Tinnitus

Hearing sounds from inside your body — often described as ringing in the ear.

Blocked ears

Difficulty hearing or balance issues — most commonly caused by excess wax build-up.

Vertigo

The sensation that you, or the world around you, is moving or spinning.

Children's ear care

Gentle, pain-free care for children from age 5

Our NHS-trained specialists are experienced with young patients. Every appointment is unhurried — we explain each step in a child-friendly way, show them the equipment first, and only proceed when they're comfortable.

🪶

Gentle & comfortable

Gentle microsuction or water irrigation — your clinician chooses the best method on the day. It may feel a little tickly or make funny noises, but it shouldn’t hurt — and we stop the moment your child asks.

🧩

Additional needs welcome

Experienced with autistic children and other additional needs — extra time, quieter setting, and a pace led entirely by your child.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parents stay throughout

A parent or guardian stays by their side for the whole appointment.

📺

They can watch too

Video-otoscopy lets curious kids see inside their own ears before and after — most love it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a same-day appointment?

Yes — our Glasgow clinic offers a same-day appointment guarantee, and same-day slots are available in Manchester too. Call as early as possible to secure a slot, or book online.

Is ear wax removal painful?

No — the procedure is gentle, safe and pain-free. You may feel light suction or water flow, and our clinicians will adjust or pause at any time if you feel discomfort.

Do I need to use oil before treatment?

Using olive oil or softening drops for 2–3 days beforehand helps, but it is not mandatory — still attend, especially for same-day appointments. Avoid cotton buds and ear candles.

Who can be treated?

We treat adults and children aged 5 and above. A parent or guardian must accompany children. Let us know about any pre-existing ear conditions on arrival.

How long does an appointment take?

Typically 10–15 minutes: a short health questionnaire, a visual ear health check, the treatment itself, then a re-check and aftercare advice.

What if no wax is found?

A £20 consultation fee applies, covering the clinician’s time and a full ear health assessment. Payment is taken after treatment, by cash or card.
