Frequently Asked Questions
Why Do we have Earwax?
Earwax does not usually cause any problems, but if too much earwax is produced it can lead to a blocked and painful ear or hearing loss. It can also affect the operation of hearing aids, causing them to whistle, produce feedback noises and reduce the quality of sound.

Where do you offer microsuction appointments?

Do I need to use olive oil before attending my appointment?

Advice before your appointment….
- Current or recurrent ear infection

During your appointment, you might be required to wear a mask to reduce any risk of transmission.
A spray known an Earol is ideal for this. Read the instructions leaflet carefully and use for 2-3 days between 1-2 times daily before your appointment. Other sprays or drops are not always suitable and may prevent us from being able to carry out the removal.
You can purchase Earol spray from our online store.
Your ears might feel more blocked up after using olive oil and might reduce your hearing – this is because the wax will soak up the oil.
For some people, olive oil use might cause some mild discomfort or irritation. If you have any doubts or concerns, just give us a call or speak to your GP or pharmacist.
