Earwax Removal in Gorleston | Local Ear Cleaning Clinic

Yes. It is essential to use olive oil ear drops to soften the wax before your appointment. We advise using 2–3 drops, three times a day, for five consecutive days leading up to your visit. Softened wax is easier and safer to remove and reduces the need for repeat treatments. You can purchase olive oil drops online or from our pharmacy in Gorleston.

Yes, when carried out by a trained professional. We use clinically approved methods including gentle water irrigation and manual extraction. All instruments are sterile and procedures are performed in a hygienic setting. We do not use ear candles, which are considered unsafe and ineffective.

Most appointments last 15 to 30 minutes. This includes an initial consultation, ear examination with an otoscope, the removal procedure itself, and personalised aftercare advice.

Yes, subject to availability and earwax is lubricated enough. We offer same-day and next-day appointments for patients in Gorleston and surrounding NR31 areas. Call 01493 600610 or check online for real-time availability.

The procedure is generally comfortable. You might feel a sensation of warmth, pressure, or water movement, but it should not be painful. If any discomfort occurs, the practitioner will pause or adjust the technique.

If the wax is too hard, dry, or impacted to remove safely in one session, we may advise further softening at home and rebook you for a follow-up visit. This is not a common scenario if you have used olive oil drops as advised. Our practitioner will provide tailored guidance on what steps to take next, such as continuing softening drops for a few more days before returning. We aim to achieve complete and safe wax removal with minimal discomfort, and your follow-up will be prioritised.
