Ear Wax Removal
for Devon and Cornwall

Do you have ear wax problems?

Moor Hearing | Ear Wax Removal Plymouth | Hearing Aids Plymouth | Hearing Tests

Built-up ear wax is not uncommon but can affect your hearing.

Here at Moor Hearing, we provide quick, simple and affordable ear wax diagnosis and treatment.

Did you know that GPs and health practices are no longer able to prioritise wax removal as an essential service?

Moor Hearing are here to help.

Microsuction is a safe, pain free experience that uses gentle suction and specialist equipment to remove the wax.  Usually wax is removed in one visit but sometimes a second appointment may be required if the wax is hardened or stubborn. We may use gentle irrigation to clear the deeper blockages.

We recommend you use oil 3-4 days prior to your appointment to help soften the wax.

We have successfully removed wax from thousands of ears, and our feedback speaks volumes.

Ear wax - what to look out for

Ear wax build-up can affect your hearing, and your balance, and cause discomfort or pain in your ear. It can also cause issues like vertigo and tinnitus (buzzing, ringing or whistling in your ears), itchy ears and even infections.

You should watch out for ears feeling full, discharge, dizziness and coughing. All of these can be a sign of a hearing or ear problem that should get checked out.

None of these symptoms are very pleasant but thankfully ear wax removal is a fairly simple procedure.

Did you know that 3.9% of the UK population need ear wax management every year?

Frequently Asked Questions

Moor Hearing | Ear Wax Removal Plymouth | Hearing Aids Plymouth | Hearing Tests

Microsuction is widely regarded as the safest method of ear canal cleaning. It can be used for the removal of wax, excess skin and foreign bodies. As there is no water involved in the treatment, it is ideal for patients who have had previous complications as a result of irrigation. The use of water is also not advised for those who have a history of ear infections or perforation of the eardrum. The risk of infection from irrigation is higher than with the use of microsuction, due to the introduction of pressurised water.

If the reduction in your hearing is being caused solely by the wax blockage, then the wax removal should improve your hearing immediately after completion of the treatment. However, if there is an underlying hearing loss there may be little or no improvement. In this case, further testing would be recommended.

This varies greatly and is very much case by case. Some people will hardly need treatment if ever, however we do have patients who produce large amounts of wax extremely quickly, which necessitates more frequent treatment. The size and shape of the ear canal is also a factor.

Provided that the wax is adequately softened prior to the treatment, it is pain free. There can be a gentle pulling sensation and some noise from the vacuum.

Treatment is often completed in 10-15 minutes, however more complex cases can of course take longer. Should a second appointment be required there is no additional charge for this.

A recent Which? report found that independent audiologists were rated at an 86% satisfaction rate for their hearing aids and aftercare service.
 
There is very little wait time for your initial hearing test and subsequent fitting when you decide to trust us with your hearing needs. You may face a fairly significant waiting time for your initial referral, hearing test, and eventual fitting through the NHS.
 
Whilst the NHS do their very best, they are limited by strict budgets which means the technology on offer is somewhat outdated when compared to what is available on the private market.
 
We offer advice which is bespoke and tailored to the needs of the individual. We have access to every hearing aid manufacturer, which ensures we get the right solution for you.
 
We are able to pick from any of the latest hearing systems, including rechargeable aids, completely in the ear, and Bluetooth compatible to connect to your phone and TV.
 
Quite possibly the most notable and important difference is the aftercare commitment. We offer unlimited aftercare to our patients, which includes any future testing, fine tuning or adjustment of the hearing aids.
