How It Works

Microsuction ear cleaning is a gentle and precise procedure that can safely remove even the most stubborn ear blockages, including those close to the eardrum. It takes just 30 minutes and can bring instant relief from blocked ears and related discomfort.

We have 6,000+ five-star reviews on Google and Trustpilot, which stand as proof of the quality and reassurance your staff can expect, and Hearology stands out as one of the few audiology clinics in the UK with services externally validated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). This ensures stringent standards of safety, hygiene, and clinical quality and our pop-up adheres to the same standards as our permanent clinics.

We recently provided the on-site hearing screening and microsuction ear wax removal service for a well-known City law firm and were, for the above reasons, 300% over-subscribed.

Who’d have thought it, the way to an employee’s heart is through their ears!

State-of-the-art Equipment

To enhance your safety and comfort, Hearology exclusively uses ENT surgical binocular microscopes for all procedures.

These microscopes provide our specialists with the high-resolution, three-dimensional view. This is essential for precise work in the confined space of the ear canal. Unlike most ear clinics that rely on magnifying goggles, our microscopes offer superior accuracy and detail.

Additionally, we are among the few clinics that utilise ENT-grade suction units. These are quieter, safer, and provide more controlled suction compared to standard portable units. We use sterile, single-use suction tubes and tips for every procedure for optimal hygiene and patient safety.

Please note that we do not offer a reduced “consultation-only” price if no blockage is found. This is because investigating the causes of any perceived blockage is an essential part of our service. This investigation is conducted through our Ear Health Consultation, which is priced at £89.

On rare occasions, it may not be possible to completely clean your ears during the first session. This can typically be because of stubborn wax or sensitivity. In such cases, we offer a complimentary follow-up appointment within two weeks of your initial visit.

We also charge a fixed price regardless of whether one ear or both require treatment. At Hearology, appointments are scheduled to prepare for the cleaning of both ears. This is to ensure you receive the same high-quality service, even if only one ear needs attention.

If There’s No Microscope, Then It’s Not Microsuction

The microsuction technique gets its name from the use of a microscope during the procedure. The microscope plays a crucial role, not only offering exceptional visual detail but also providing depth-of-field awareness.

This depth perception is essential for accurately identifying the location of the eardrum. Without it, safe and precise treatment becomes much more difficult. At Hearology, we exclusively use ENT-grade microscopes to ensure the highest safety standards. This is unlike many others who rely on goggles, which lack the same precision and depth-of-field capability.
