Earwax Removal At Frames Opticians

Comfortable, Safe & Effective Ear Wax Removal

If you’re struggling to hear clearly, experiencing discomfort, or feel like your ears are blocked, it might be due to a build-up of ear wax. At Frames Opticians, we offer a professional ear wax removal service carried out by trained audiologists using the latest microsuction technology.
Free Hearing Test
Our trained audiologists start by examining your ears using a high-definition otoscope to assess wax build-up. We ensure you only receive treatment when necessary.
We offer a complimentary pre-check to determine whether wax removal is required.
We use advanced microsuction technology, the safest and most effective method for ear wax removal. It’s dry, gentle, and suitable for sensitive ears — no messy syringes or irrigation.
Following removal, we’ll check your ear health and provide tailored advice. If needed, we can also carry out a hearing screen to ensure your ears are functioning at their best.
Get ear wax removal for £55 (both ears). Book with us directly and enjoy professional care in a calm, clinical setting.

Recognise The Signs Of Excess Ear Wax

Common Signs of Hearing Loss

Ear wax build-up is one of the most overlooked causes of hearing-related issues. While it’s a natural and protective part of ear health, too much can block the ear canal and cause problems. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, temporary hearing loss, and balance issues.

Common Signs of Ear Wax Build-Up

  • Feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
  • Muffled or reduced hearing
  • Sudden or gradual hearing loss in one or both ears
  • Ringing or buzzing sounds (tinnitus)
  • Itchiness, irritation, or mild ear pain
If you experience any of these symptoms, our audiologists can help you get clear, healthy ears again through safe and effective wax removal.

Why Wax Removal Matters

Clear ears mean clearer hearing and better comfort

Impacted ear wax doesn’t just affect your hearing – it can have a wider impact on your daily comfort, communication, and confidence. Microsuction wax removal is the safest and most effective way to resolve the problem quickly.

Benefits of Professional Wax Removal

  • Instantly improves hearing clarity
  • Reduces the need to turn up the TV or ask people to repeat themselves
  • Prevents ear infections, inflammation, and further blockages
  • Avoids the risks of using cotton buds or home remedies
  • Helps ensure accurate results during hearing tests
Our friendly, qualified team is here to restore comfort and clarity to your hearing — quickly, safely, and without fuss.

Types of Hearing Loss

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural hearing loss, often caused by ageing or prolonged exposure to loud noises. Understanding different types of hearing loss can help you determine the best treatment options available.
Dry Wax Blockage
  • Causes – Naturally dry ear wax, often common in older adults or due to dehydration.
  • Symptoms – Itchiness, flaking, and a feeling of dryness or obstruction in the ear.

Wet Wax Blockage

  • Causes – Oily, sticky wax that becomes impacted deep in the ear canal. Can result from genetics or overuse of earplugs and headphones.
  • Symptoms – Fullness in the ear, muffled hearing, and dark, sticky discharge.

Hardened/Impacted Wax

  • Causes – Long-term wax build-up that becomes compacted, often due to improper use of cotton buds.
  • Symptoms – Significant hearing reduction, discomfort, dizziness, or ringing in the ears (tinnitus).

Double Ear Blockage

  • Causes – Simultaneous build-up in both ears, sometimes unnoticed due to gradual loss in both sides.
  • Symptoms – Poor sound direction awareness, frequent misunderstandings in conversation, and complete feeling of blockage.

Levels of hearing loss

Hearing loss can be categorized by severity level. Your level of hearing ability is measured in decibels hearing level (dB HL), referring to how loud sounds need to be for you to hear them.
