Ear Wax Removal in Aylesbury - Safe Microsuction for Adults & Children

Microsuction ear wax removal at Audio Hearing Aylesbury starts from £40 (ear health consultation). Standard adult microsuction is £65. No GP referral is required - you can book directly, often with a same-day appointment.

Ear wax build-up is one of the most common and easily treatable causes of hearing loss, earache, tinnitus, and a blocked sensation in the ear. Our HCPC-registered audiologists use microsuction - the gold standard in ear wax removal - to safely and effectively clear your ear canals using ENT-grade head loupes and precision suction equipment.

Unlike traditional ear syringing, which is no longer recommended by the NHS, microsuction is a dry procedure that does not involve putting water into your ear. This makes it the safest option for patients with a history of ear infections, perforated eardrums, or previous ear surgery. Our Aylesbury clinic serves patients across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, including Aylesbury, Buckingham, Wendover, Thame, Bicester, Oxford and Banbury.

Symptoms of Ear Wax Build-Up

You may have a wax blockage if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms. These can often appear suddenly, particularly after water enters the ear (for example, after swimming or showering), which causes the wax to swell.

• Blocked or muffled hearing
• Earache or discomfort
• Ringing or buzzing (tinnitus)
• Feeling of fullness in the ear
• Dizziness or imbalance
• Itchiness inside the ear
