Struggling to hear? It could be due to a build up of a natural wax called Cerumen (or more commonly called- earwax). Acting as a defence mechanism for the ear, the wax can unwillingly make your sense of hearing dulled. This is due to the process by which the wax clears any and all debris out of the ear. Starting at the outer third of the ear canal and making its way outwards, the wax utilises its unique properties of being a natural lubricant, adhesive and anti-bacterial to defend the sensitive parts of the ear.

​

However, via a quick process of ear syringing at Portland Body Clinic, and our fully qualified, very experienced Nurse can easily solve the issue. So why not come in for earwax removal for only £35 for 1 ear and £60 for 2 ears.

​

An earwax build-up is likely to be caused by the wax being pushed into the ear canal during cleaning with cotton buds. Although recognised by loss of hearing, there are other symptoms, which include coughing, itching, ringing and sometimes pain.

​

Ear syringing itself involves using a flow of low-pressure water via a specialised ear irrigator to harmlessly remove the earwax blockage.

​

We'd also recommend you prepared your ear canals for the ear syringing, by using ear-drops to soften the wax (available from any pharmacy) for 3-7 days before the appointment.
