Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your appointment.
Is earwax removal painful?
No. Both microsuction and irrigation are gentle, non-invasive procedures. You may feel mild pressure or hear some noise, but the treatment should be comfortable throughout.
How long does it take?
A typical appointment lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, including a consultation and treatment of both ears if needed.
Do I need to prepare beforehand?
It helps to use olive oil drops or a proprietary ear spray twice daily for 3–5 days before your appointment to soften the wax. April will advise when you book.
Can I get earwax removal on the NHS?
NHS earwax removal is limited in many areas and waiting times can be long. A private home visit with April is a fast, convenient and affordable alternative.
Is microsuction safe?
Yes. Microsuction is the method recommended by audiologists and is widely considered the safest and most effective earwax removal technique available.
