Ear Wax Removal in Caldicot and South Monmouthshire — Your Local Options Explained

If you live in Caldicot or the villages along the B4245 — Magor, Undy, Portskewett, Sudbrook, Rogiet — and you're looking for professional ear wax removal, you have a couple of options. Here's an honest overview to help you make the right choice for your situation.

What's available locally? Ear wax removal Caldicot?

There are a small number of practitioners offering ear wax removal in the Caldicot area. The most important thing to check — regardless of who you book with — is whether your clinician is a qualified audiologist, nurse, or registered healthcare professional. Ear wax removal is not a regulated industry in the UK, which means anyone can legally offer it. Always ask about qualifications before you book. At the Chepstow Hearing Clinic, all ear wax removal is carried out by trained clinicians. We're based in Chepstow town centre, which is a short drive from Caldicot — roughly 8 to 10 minutes along the A48.

Why do patients from south Monmouthshire come to us?

A few things come up consistently when we ask Caldicot-area patients why they chose us. Same-day and next-day availability. A proper, clinic-based setting with a video otoscope so they can see inside their ear before and after treatment. The option of both microsuction and irrigation depending on what their ears need. And the reassurance that comes from being seen by an audiologist rather than an unregistered practitioner. We also offer free hearing tests, hearing aids, and ongoing aftercare — so if there's a broader hearing concern alongside the blocked ears, we can address everything in one place.

Preparing for your appointment from Caldicot

If you're booking from Caldicot, Magor, or anywhere along the B4245: Use olive oil drops (or Earol spray) twice daily for three to five days before your appointment. This softens the wax and ensures we can remove it effectively in a single visit. If you're a hearing aid wearer, this is especially important — wax tends to compact more quickly in hearing aid users. Come along to School Hill Centre in Chepstow. There is parking in the area and the clinic is centrally located and easy to find.

Prices and booking

Ear wax removal at the Chepstow Hearing Clinic is up to £65 for both ears. This includes a full ear health check before treatment. If no wax removal is needed — for example, if the wax is minimal or has cleared on its own — we'll tell you honestly and adjust accordingly. Appointments can be booked online or by calling us on 01291 332211. We aim to have short-notice appointments available most days of the working week.
