At All Ears Hearing we recognise that wax can affect how well your hearing aids work
as well as how your ears work.
If you are a hearing aid user or just need your ears cleared we can help keep things working.
Most people who have hearing difficulties consider wax is the primary cause.
At All Ears we are very happy to examine your ears and provide a wax removal service.
We will even take before and after images and **assess your hearing afterwards to establish whether there is any hearing loss.
We use the latest high quality suction technology to ensure maximum efficiency whilst cleaning the ear canal. Video otoscopy can provide a ‘before and after’ view.
This state of the art service is available in our clininc in Edwinstowe and at very competitive prices.
We can even offer home visits for the elderly and disabled.
Prices are just £50 for one ear or £80 for both including call out.
NB: A £20 charge is levied for home visit call outs where no wax removal is required. this is to cover costs for time, fuel and PPE equipment.
OUR SERVICE
Micro Suction ear wax removal is when ear wax is removed from the ear with the help of miniature vacuum cleaner. The suction tool is used to directly target the ear wax allowing it to be removed very precisely.
In some cases Micro Suction is not ideal or not warranted, especially when the wax is very soft. In these cases we will employ a gentle and safe Low Pressure Pulse Irrigation method to flush the wax out. This technique is sometimes used in conjunction with micro suction and can often result in almost complete wax removal which is required for certain hearing devices to be fitted.
HOW IT IS PERFORMED
The procedure is ONLY performed by Audiologists, Hearing Aid Dispensers, nurses and ENT specialists, using a specialist instrument which works like a miniature vacuum cleaner, enabling us to suck the wax out of the ear without the need to use jets of water.
The tip of this light-weight, portable and easy to operate suction tool is placed into the ear canal opening allows access to entire ear canal and ear drum to facilitate effective ear wax removal. Surgeon designed ‘Loupes’ are used to give and expanded view of the area, ensuring accurate and safe placement of the tool.
Micro suction ear wax removal typically takes 20-30 minutes to perform, but some wax can be deep seated or stubborn. This can vary depending on the amount and type of ear wax, how deep the ear wax is inside the ear canal, and whether you are having one or both ears treated.
The procedure can last longer. It may even be removed over two or more appointments.
There is no additional charge for a second . If a third appointment is necessary, there is a 50% discount on the charges.
It is performed with you comfortably sat on a chair with your head tilted to the side slightly so that the ear with ear wax can be easily accessed.
Micro-suction and irrigation are the most successful, however we can also remove wax manually when the ear is not suitable for normal methods.
