At Click Hearing, we provide two expert services for ear wax removal in Chelmsford and other locations.
Our microsuction ear wax removal method uses gentle suction along with a high-powered microscope to safely view the ear canal and eardrum. This technique is often recommended by Ear, Nose, and Throat specialists and is available at our Chelmsford, Ramsden Heath, and Upminster clinics.
For a more traditional approach, we offer irrigation ear wax removal, a quieter and less invasive option that’s ideal for nervous or anxious clients. This service is available at our Chelmsford Duke Street, Upminster, and Hornchurch locations.
Ear wax removal using irrigation is a more traditional method of ear wax removal and offers a less invasive and quieter process than microsuction and is therefore better suited for very nervous or anxious clients. It is available from our Upminster, Hornchurch and Chelmsford Duke Street practices.
If you unsure which is best for you please contact us for advice or refer to our FAQ section below.
Before booking on behalf of a child under the age of 7 please call us first to ensure you are clear on what the procedure entails.
Both services are £75 and include an initial inspection and assessment of the ears before the ear wax removal procedure takes place.
If no wax is discovered a consultancy fee of £30 is applied.
Watch our short video on how we remove ear wax using microsuction. It’s a simple process and the effect is immediate. Call us today for your appointment or book online.
Irrigation follows much the same procedure as microsuction, with a digital health check performed before the process begins, known as a video otoscopy.
Irrigation cannot be performed if the ears have been operated on, have a perforation or any open abrasions. Clients with mastoid cavities are also excluded from having irrigation.
The process uses a gentle, steady stream of water to dislodge the wax. A basin is held under the ear to catch the expelled wax and water.
The ear wax and the ear canal remain in clear vision for the practitioner during the procedure with wax successfully removed almost 100% of the time.
Irrigation is quieter and less invasive than microsuction and is probably a better choice if your wax is very hard or stuck to the eardrum where microsuction can occasionally cause some discomfort.
