Ear Wax Removal Treatments in Chepstow
We offer two safe and effective ear wax removal treatments in Chepstow: microsuction and water irrigation.
Our trained clinicians will assess your ears and recommend the most suitable method to safely remove blocked ear wax, improve hearing, and relieve discomfort.
Microsuction Ear Wax Removal
Water Irrigation Ear Wax Removal
Water irrigation uses carefully temperature-controlled water to gently flush softened wax from the ear canal. Following an ear examination, we may recommend irrigation as a safe and effective treatment option for suitable patients.
Microsuction is a gentle and precise method of ear wax removal using low-pressure suction and specialist magnification equipment. Our clinicians use microsuction to safely remove stubborn or impacted ear wax while minimising discomfort.
Which Ear Wax Removal Method Is Best?
Microsuction is often considered the safest and most precise ear wax removal method, particularly for patients with sensitive ears, hearing aids, or previous ear problems. However, water irrigation can also be a very safe and effective treatment when carried out correctly by trained clinicians and is often highly suitable for softer ear wax or uncomplicated blockages. Following a full ear examination, our clinicians will recommend the most appropriate and comfortable treatment option for your ears.
