The process

What this service involves

At your appointment we will talk through your symptoms and check your ears. If no wax removal is required, you will pay the £15 ear care consultation fee. If wax removal is required, the wax removal prices are shown separately and we will explain what applies to you before anything is done. You will also receive practical guidance on looking after your ears and what to do if symptoms continue.

Symptom and history check

We ask about what you are experiencing, any previous ear problems, and anything relevant to your ear health.

Clear plan on the day

You will be told what has been found, whether wax removal is needed, and what the next steps and costs are.
