How It Works
Microsuction
Ear microsuction is a highly effective, safe procedure for removing excess earwax, ensuring clear hearing and ear health.
This procedure is suitable for individuals of all ages, including those with sensitive ears or a history of ear infections.
The process is quick, pain-free, and performed by trained professionals using specialised equipment to ensure optimal results.
- Safe and precise – No risk of water exposure or damage to the eardrum.
- Comfortable – No sensation of pressure or discomfort during the procedure.
- Fast and effective – Immediate results with improved hearing and ear clarity.
Ear Irrigation
Ear irrigation is a procedure used to remove excess earwax that may be causing discomfort or hearing issues.
It involves gently flushing the ear canal with warm water to dislodge and clear the wax buildup.
This service is typically performed by healthcare professionals and is recommended when ear drops alone are ineffective.
Proper assessment and technique are crucial to ensure safety and prevent complications.
We recommend five days of olive oil drops in each ear prior to irrigation.

Do you need ear wax removal?
Excess ear wax is one of the most common causes of hearing loss and ear discomfort in the UK, affecting roughly 1 in 15 people.
Common signs that you may have a build-up include:
🔵 Muffled or reduced hearing
🔵 Earache or discomfort
🔵 Itching inside the ear canal
🔵 Ear discharge
🔵A feeling of fullness in the ear
🔵Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus)

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, do not attempt at-home removal with cotton buds or ear candles, these can push the wax deeper and cause further damage. Our clinicians in Hailsham can assess and treat you safely at our welcoming clinic.
