Today I had my ear's syringed by the nurse who did a great job now my hearing is perfect.
The receptionist was very helpful changing my appointment time and informed me about the free parking on site. Also it’s the cheapest ear syringing in Leeds.
What a find! Absolutely amazing is how I'd describe the care received from the nurse, had my ears syringed and, within 30 minutes I was back in the car pain free after having a couple of bad day & nights with ear pain. Very reasonable cost and free parking underneath for patients, highly recommended.
Fast quick efficient service, rang for an appointment and was given one the same day.
The receptionist was very helpful and friendly, I had my ears syringed by the Nurse who is very professional. I would highly recommend to family and friends.
Ear irrigation is a painless routine procedure for removing earwax. Ear irrigation (syringing) is carried out by using an electronic irrigator. The tip of the irrigator is inserted into the entrance of the ear and a warm flow of water enters helping to flush out the wax. This procedure works best when earwax is soft so it is important to follow any advice given prior to your appointment. *Prices starting from £25 depending on location
Ear Irrigation (Syringing) (One or Both Ears) £25-£35*
15-30 minute appointments with same day and same week appointments (in some locations)

Before attending your appointment 2-3 drops of Olive Oil must be applied to one or both ears if required at least three to four times daily for at least 5-7 days to help soften and loosen the wax prior to irrigation. The best way to apply this is by resting the side of your head on a pillow inserting the drops and lay for a few minutes so the Olive Oil penetrates the hardened wax. Wipe any excess oil away with a tissue and refrain from using cotton wool as this will soak the oil up. Repeat on the other side should both ears require irrigation. Olive Oil can be obtained over the counter from your local pharmacy. If you require more information then please do not hesitate to contact our Nurse prior to your appointment.
Appointments starting from £25 for one or both ears.
It is advised to see a qualified professional for earwax removal but if you do still want to try and remove earwax at home it is important to do so safely. It is best to consult a GP or pharmacist before putting anything in your ear or removing earwax at home. Do not use cotton buds or anything that can push earwax further into the ear!
There are some instances when we will not be able to perform wax removal and would advise you speak to your GP to seek help, these include but are not limited to. You have had any pain or middle ear infections in the last 3 months. You know you suffer from recurrent ear infections. Any past operations in and around your ear. You suspect or have been diagnosed with a perforated eardrum. You can discuss any of these in an appointment with your clinician if you are unsure.
It is advised that earwax removal should always be performed by a trained clinician. Avoid using things such as cotton swabs — these can be dangerous when used to clean your ears. Book an appointment with our experienced nurse to get your earwax removed safely.
A build up of earwax can be caused by numerous factors, including narrow or damaged ear canals, skin conditions around the ear and an increased amount of hair in the ear.
In most cases you do not need earwax removal before a hearing test. It is normal to have a small amount of earwax in your ears, this is perfectly healthy and will not effect the outcome of a hearing test. If you think you are susceptible to developing a large build up of wax in your ears it may be worth asking your nurse of GP to examine them before your ear test.
