Introduction: Why Ear Wax Removal Matters

Earwax (also known as cerumen) is a natural substance that protects your ears from dust, debris, and bacteria. However, when it builds up excessively, it can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, tinnitus, and even ear infections.

If you're searching for ear wax removal near Coventry, Leamington Spa, or Kenilworth, this guide will help you understand how much ear wax removal costs, the safest options available, and why Hazelwood Hearcare is your best choice for affordable, expert treatment.

How Much Does Ear Wax Removal Cost in the UK?

The cost of ear wax removal in the UK varies based on the method and clinic:

MethodTypical Cost per EarPrivate Clinic RangeManual removal£50–£90£70–£150Microsuction£60–£100Up to £300 totalIrrigation (ear syringing)£40–£80£80–£200

Hazelwood Hearcare offers at-home ear wax removal for just £70 (both ears included) — making us one of the most affordable and convenient providers in the region.

Why the NHS No Longer Offers Free Ear Wax Removal

In recent years, NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) have reclassified earwax removal as a non-essential service, meaning it’s only available if severe hearing loss or medical complications are already present.

This means:

  • You can no longer get ear wax removed at most GP surgeries.
  • Waiting lists for hospital-based audiology services can exceed 18 weeks.
  • Many people are left with no option but to seek private clinics.

The Hidden Risks of DIY Ear Wax Removal

Trying to remove earwax at home using cotton buds, ear candles, or homemade tools can do more harm than good. These methods may:

  • Push wax further into the ear canal
  • Cause eardrum perforation
  • Disrupt your ear’s natural bacterial balance
  • Lead to long-term hearing problems or infection

👉 Professional ear wax removal—especially microsuction, the gold standard—is fast, safe, and painless.
