How can I get ear wax removed?

Excessive ear wax is a common problem.

First things first though, if you are experiencing ear symptoms such as pain, discharge or hearing loss, then it is important that you book an appointment with us to discuss this further.

For ear wax specifically, you can read about self-care tips here.

Microsuction is a way to remove ear wax that does not respond to self-care treatments. This is not something that is provided as part of the NHS in most cases, but there are a number of high-street and private clinics that provide this service for a small fee. At our Canary Wharf clinic, you can book an appointment with a private provider called Ear Lab if you wish. Ear Lab are totally independent of GP at Hand and we do not have any arrangement with them beyond renting some space to them, but this may be a convenient option for some people. You should contact them directly.
