Not yet booked into our Ear Wax Treatment Clinic as you are unsure of what to expect?

Here’s a little rundown of what will happen at your appointment…

Our fully qualified and registered Audiologist Shah, will first examine your ears to identify the most appropriate method of wax removal. He will choose from three methods:

1) Via an instrument: a thin probe with a circular loop at the end will be used to gently remove wax close to the ear canal entrance.
2) Via micro-suction: a fine suction tube will be used and viewed through a magnifying headset.
3) Via irrigation: low pressure pulses of water are used to flush out the debris.

Shah will explain the selected method fully to you, and carry out the procedure with the utmost of care and precision.

Here’s what one of Shah’s previous patients had to say:

“Shah was very professional throughout the process. He is very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable with the procedure. This was the first time I was treated and I was not aware of how easy and pain-free the treatment is. I will definitely be coming back and scheduling regular wax removal appointments as this has made a huge difference in my hearing!”

The treatment takes no more than 30 minutes and costs £49. You can park in our private car park for free.

Call us on 0161 308 5000 to book your appointment.

Our recent Blokes and Brews session was ‘Blokes and Barrels’ - a fantastic afternoon full of fun, laughter, and pub-themed treats!

We enjoyed a selection of classic pub snacks served by our brilliant barmaid Gabby, alongside a lively pub quiz hosted by our Quiz Master Kate. There were even ‘shots’ of cherry aid and a range of traditional pub soft drinks to enjoy.

A great time was had by all - thank you to everyone who joined us!
