The Technique

What Is Same-Day Earwax Removal?

Same-day earwax removal is an express appointment option for patients who need urgent treatment. The clinical procedure itself remains exactly the same, only the speed of access is different.
Appointments are performed using Microsuction (primary method) and water irrigation where clinically appropriate.

All treatments are carried out with full clinical assessment and video otoscopy.

Same-day earwax removal is particularly suitable if you are experiencing:

  • Sudden hearing loss due to wax
  • Complete blockage in one or both ears
  • Ear fullness before flying or travelling
  • Hearing aid feedback or malfunction
  • Discomfort that is not resolving with drops
  • Important meetings, exams, or events affected by hearing issues

If you are unsure whether earwax is the cause, a full examination is always carried out before treatment.

How Same-Day Appointments Work

Why experts recommend microsuction as the safest choice for your ear health.

Contact us early

Same-day slots are limited and allocated on a first-come basis.

Clinical suitability check

We confirm symptoms, medical history, and urgency.

Appointment confirmation

You will be offered the earliest available clinic or home-visit slot.

Safe earwax removal

Treatment is performed using gentle, controlled techniques with continuous visual guidance.

Aftercare & reassurance

You receive clear aftercare advice and reassurance before leaving, with guidance on what to expect and when to contact us again if needed.

Immediate hearing feedback

Most patients notice clearer hearing immediately after treatment, with final results confirmed during post-procedure otoscopy.

Treatment Methods Used

Both methods are effective, but each patient is different.

Microsuction's benefits include:

  • No water
  • Immediate results
  • Suitable for narrow or sensitive ear canals
  • Safe for hearing aid users
  • Performed under direct visual control

Irrigation may be recommended when:

  • Wax is soft and widespread
  • Microsuction alone cannot remove deeper material
  • The patient prefers a water-based method

Your clinician will examine your ears using a video otoscope and recommend the safest, most effective method for you. In many cases, we use a combination of both for best results.

Microsuction Vs Water Irrigation

Your Apointment

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Our professional process ensures your comfort and safety at every step.

1
Ear Examination

We begin with a detailed otoscopy or video-otoscopy so you can see the wax inside your ear canal. This helps us decide the safest approach.

2
Wax Removal

Using microsuction and specialist tools, we gently remove the wax. You'll hear the suction sound, but it should not be painful. If needed, small instruments can help lift wax safely.

3
Final Check

Once the wax is removed, we re-examine your ears to ensure the canal and eardrum are healthy and clear.

4
Aftercare Advice

We provide guidance to help keep your ears wax-free and reduce future blockages.

Do I Need Ear Drops for a Same-Day Appointment?

Using olive oil or Earol spray for 3–4 days beforehand can help soften wax, but ear drops are not always essential for same-day microsuction.

When drops help

If you have firm or impacted wax, a few days of olive oil or Earol spray can make removal easier — but we understand this is not always possible with urgent appointments.

✕

When not to use drops

Do not use drops if you have: a known eardrum perforation, active ear infection or sensitivity or allergy to oils.

If unsure, contact us before your appointment.

FAQs

Questions and Answers

Yes, same-day appointments are available subject to availability. We prioritise urgent cases and aim to see patients as quickly as possible. Availability depends on the time you contact us, your location, and clinical suitability following assessment.

Ear drops can help soften wax, but they are not always essential for microsuction. If drops have not been used, we will assess your ears on the day and confirm whether safe removal can proceed or whether preparation is required first.

Most same-day appointments are carried out using microsuction, which is a dry, controlled method performed under direct visual guidance. In some cases, gentle irrigation may be used if clinically appropriate.

Yes. The urgency relates only to appointment access, not the procedure itself. Every appointment includes a full ear examination, video otoscopy, and clinical judgement. If removal is not safe on the day, this will be explained clearly.

Microsuction should not be painful. You may notice some noise or light pressure during the procedure, which is normal. If at any point you feel discomfort, the procedure can be paused or stopped immediately.

Even with complete blockage, microsuction can often be performed safely. However, very hard or impacted wax may sometimes require softening first. This decision is always made following direct examination of your ears.

Yes. No GP referral is required. We carry out a full assessment during your appointment and will advise if medical referral is needed for any reason.

Most appointments take 20–30 minutes, including assessment, treatment, and aftercare advice. The exact duration depends on the amount and type of wax present.

Yes. We regularly treat patients who feel anxious due to sudden hearing loss or discomfort. Appointments are calm, unhurried, and fully explained at each stage. You remain in control throughout the procedure.

If removal cannot be safely carried out, we will explain why and advise on the next steps. This may include using ear drops, allowing more time for softening, or seeking further medical advice where appropriate.
