The OriginalEarwax Clinic
About us
Our Ear Wax Removal clinic is owned and operated by a General Practitioner with 30 years of experience. We take a holistic approach to all of our patients. You cannot treat a symptom or presentation in isolation.
In the Primary Care or Community setting it is the remit of the General Practitioner to assess issues associated with the ear, nose and throat.
Unfortunately, some services have been shed by GPs and can only by accessed through the private sector now.
Ear wax removal was removed from the GP Service Contract in Sept 2021. However, if you have any hearing issues, pain in your ears, balance issues or tinnitus your first port of call should be your GP.
All of the above symptoms can simply be caused by ear wax, but ear wax should not be looked at in isolation. So you should try to see your NHS GP first if you are able to do so.
For a full and thorough service it is best to attend an earwax clinic operated by a GP.
We would take a relevant history, carry out an appropriate examination and provide the most appropriate treatment tailored to your individual needs.
Prescribe antibiotics/steroids or any other treatment that maybe required.
Carry out Epley’s manoeuvre for suspected BPPV. This a treatment for people who maybe experiencing vertigo.
Refer onto an ENT specialist if required. There are other pathologies that can be uncovered on the removal of the ear wax.
There are many other causes of dizziness and they require to be excluded. These could be due to inner ear issues. This is where the balance system of the ear is sited.
This part of the ear cannot be viewed by an auroscope (medical instrument to look into the ears).

Very professional team, the GP and audiologist that saw me were really nice and personal. I booked to have 2 ears checked and when they discovered I only needed 1 tbey refunded me rather than taking the money and seem as if they were doing both. If and when the need arises I will 100% be back.A Degnan
This was my first visit to the clinic at Waverley House. I received a warm welcome and made to feel at ease. The procedure was simple but efficient. The doctor took his time and explained everything to me. I had paid in advance for both ears to be cleaned but he informed me after examination that one ear was clear. I have received a £20 refund. The second ear was filthy and all wax removed. I received first class service.H Speedie
Service was 10/10. Easy to book the appointment. Very friendly on arrival and all the way through the service. Made me feel very comfortable. Work carried out was great too. I could barely hear going in and feeling very frustrated. I left very happy and able to hear out of both ears again with my hearing very clear and open. Would recommend and I will definitely go back myself.P Cunningham
