At 2020 Hearing Ltd in Leeds, we run ear wax removal clinics every day (except Sundays) throughout the week. Our HCPC registered professional audiologists and nurses are experienced and specially trained to perform excessive wax removal by using microsuction.
We remove ear wax using both micro suction and occasionally water irrigation. Removing wax by ear syringing is now considered to be an outdated method of extracting wax.
Hearing Loss? Although you can get wax removed at your local GP surgery or by an ENT consultant at the hospital for free, there is normally a waiting time involved. We offer same day appointments. Same day appointments are subject to availability though and book up quite quickly.

***FREE PPE IS PROVIDED. SOCIAL DISTANCING OBSERVED.***
***APPOINTMENTS ARE ONLY £40 FOR ONE AND £60 FOR BOTH. ***
***A £20 CONSULTATION FEE IS PAYABLE IF NO WAX REMOVED.***
*** CARD PAYMENTS TAKEN. ***

The Gold Standard in Ear Wax Removal
Microsuction is a modern, clinically approved method for removing built-up ear wax. It is widely regarded as the safest and most effective technique available today especially when compared to older methods like syringing or ear irrigation.
Unlike irrigation, which flushes the ear with water, Microsuction of Ears uses a gentle medical suction device under direct visual guidance. Here’s how it works:
Compared to traditional methods such as syringing or irrigation, which use pressurised water and can risk pushing wax further into the ear, microsuction is dry, controlled, and suitable for nearly everyone.
It is particularly ideal for people with:
At 2020 Hearing Ltd, our experienced audiologists are trained in Microsuction Ear Cleaning techniques to ensure safe, comfortable, and effective Ear Wax Extraction during every visit.
Step 1 – A fully qualified audiologist, will look into the ear canal through a microscope (either fixed or with glasses).
Step 2 – A very fine suction device at low temperature is used to safely remove the wax.
It is SAFE – Microsuction is the method preferred by medical staff and patients alike for guaranteed effective removal of wax.
It is PAINLESS – Microsuction ear wax removal is extremely comfortable and in most cases the wax can be removed in minutes.
It is performed by a SPECIALIST – We specialise in micro suction and ear foreign body removal; the process is completed only by fully qualified audiologists with additional training in micro suction techniques.

Completed with the latest equipment, you can feel confident microsuction will result in the successful removal of any wax or foreign objects blocking the ear.
Ear wax is in fact a mixture of oil, fats, sweat and dead skin cells found in the ear canal. It is actually a protection against bacteria, dirt and dust preventing them from damaging the ear canal and tympanic membrane. The oils also prevent the ear canal from becoming too dry.
Everyone is different and this also applies to ear wax. Some people just produce more wax than others. It can be age related, linked to diet and even race. People with really narrow, hairy or small ear canals are more prone to a build up as it does not take much wax to be produced to block up their ears. It can be simply that they over produce ear wax naturally or perhaps they have very narrow or small ear canals.
Main causes of hearing loss and ear wax build up are as follows:
If it is not causing you a problem, basically nothing. Ear wax is produced to allow the ear to clean itself and the wax will drop out of the ear canal naturally. Occasionally, this process is interrupted and build up occurs. Over time, very gradually, the wax builds up to fill the whole ear canal. Many people are unaware of this build up until a tipping point is reached.
Water gets trapped in the ear canal after a shower, a swim or hearing aids push the wax down the canal into a plug. It is at this stage that the wax needs to be removed by ear irrigation or even better by microsuction.
The most popular ear drops on the market to soften and loosen ear wax are: olive oil, almond oil, tea tree oil, sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It is always advisable to seek professional advice as to which type would be suitable for you. For example, if you have a perforation or have had a hole in your ear drum previously, using ear drops could cause you a problem.

While over-the-counter drops can help in some cases, avoid them if:
Microsuction is often the safest next step especially when drops don’t work.
