What does the appointment involve?
The clinician first examines the ears with a video otoscope, a small camera that shows the ear canal on screen. Based on the findings, the clinician recommends microsuction or warm water irrigation. Most appointments take 20 to 30 minutes.
Preparing before you travel
Use olive oil drops for three to five days before the appointment. Softened wax is more likely to be removed in a single visit, which avoids a return journey. Earol olive oil spray is available at the clinic for £5.
