Ear Wax Removal - by Microsuction, Irrigation and Dry Removal
HAB Hearing provide a daily ear wax removal service at our well established and hi-tech audiology clinic in Silsden, within 10 minutes drive of Keighley, Skipton and Ilkley.
We are central to West Yorkshire, East Lancashire and North Yorkshire, with Colne, Burnley, Otley and Bradford all under a half hour drive away.
We have lots of easy access on site parking right by the door for those with limited mobility. Click here for directions and where to find us.
Our friendly and professional wax removal team help those who have excessive wax in their ears causing a blockage, hearing loss or unpleasant feeling. We are fast and efficient!
Ear Wax Removal Treatments
We specialise in microsuction (hoovering out with a fine tip probe), irrigation (flushing with water, commonly referred to as syringing) and dry removal (manual removal with an instrument). If interested in the difference, read this.
Depending on what we find on the day we may use any one or a combination of all three methods to ensure a satisfactory result. Other wax removal clinics often only offer one method of wax removal and don’t have the same level of equipment and expertise to efficiently clear the ears.
Ear Wax Removal Costs
The cost of treatment is £39 for one blocked ear and £59 if both ears are blocked. If you are experiencing problems but no blockage is present we can offer a simple hearing check on the day, video endoscopy to record a video of the state of the ear canal and ear drum if relevant, and make use of tympanometry to help point to conditions such as middle ear dysfunction – consultation fee £25.
Booking an Appointment
To arrange ear wax removal just click the ‘Book an Appointment’ button to start the process – it works 24/7. Do bear in mind when booking that ideally you need to apply 2-3 days of olive oil or similar in each ear morning and evening to soften the wax and ensure a comfortable and pain free procedure. N.B. if you feel ill please discuss with us before booking!
Do I really need to apply oil? We do see people offering wax removal locally who state oil does not need to be applied, we think this is wrong advice – see above!
Booking an appointment can be arranged from start to finish completely online and outside office hours if that is your preference, and you can also contact us if you need to speak to us first or prefer to book an appointment by phone.
Our wax removal service is entirely within the clinic and we do not offer a home visit service, we feel the clinic is the most appropriate venue to offer the service.

Sandra Carr 2024-04-11 Amazing experience on having my ears micro sucked to clear them of wax. Didn’t hurt and hadn’t realised how bad my hearing was until I had them done.
