Ears of Axholme provides professional microsuction ear wax removal from our Doncaster & Sheffield clinic, welcoming patients from across Doncaster, Sheffield, Rotherham and the surrounding areas. Many of our patients travel from Armthorpe, Bessacarr, Wheatley, Intake, Bentley, Rossington, Cantley, Hatfield, Tickhill, Finningley, Auckley and Branton. We also serve communities across the Isle of Axholme, including Epworth, Crowle, Haxey and Westwoodside.

No. Provided you keep still, the procedure will be painless. There are no injections or incisions required.

Some patients describe cold air and pulling sensations, along with a noise from the suction machine that resembles the sound of tuning an old radio. However, minimal discomfort is experienced.

Microsuction is considered the safest, most effective, and comfortable method of earwax removal.

We can safely perform a consultation, inspection, and microsuction procedure on any individual aged 6+ who can remain still for the duration of the procedure.

A legal parent or guardian must be in attendance for the duration of the procedure for any patient below the age of 18.

NOTE: Patient safety takes priority every time. The procedure may be halted or refused to ensure the patient's safety if they are unable to remain still.

-If you are under 18, ensure you have a legal parent or guardian in attendance for the duration of the appointment.

-Please ensure you have made 1 hour available around your appointment, regardless of the procedure necessary. While all appointments should take less than an hour, this helps to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, free from external commitments.

Olive Oil

-If you are aware of a wax blockage and have booked a removal procedure, it is highly beneficial to instil olive oil or Earol spray into the ear canal, before bedtime, in the days prior to your appointment.

3 drops, 3 times a day, for 3 days.

The properties of olive oil soften the earwax and make extraction quicker, easier, and more comfortable - avoiding the need for a potential secondary appointment.

Note: DO NOT use olive oil if you are aware of or suspect an eardrum perforation (tear or hole in the eardrum)

Please do not hesitate to CALL ahead of your appointment with any questions or queries you may have. Alternatively, please use the form below.

We always carry out a full ear check first. If there’s no wax present, you won’t receive unnecessary treatment. Instead, we’ll explain what’s causing your symptoms and advise you on the best next steps.

Your appointment is never wasted.

With every ear being unique, many variables can affect the length of the appointment. Your booking will be for a 30-minute duration.

When making plans around your appointment, please allow an hour for your procedure to take place to be on the safe side, regardless of the appointment type.

Advice will be given on how to prepare for the next appointment. Usually, this involves applying additional oil to the ear to soften the wax.

A return visit will be organised at your home or the clinic, free of charge.

Note: Using olive oil or Earol before your first appointment will significantly reduce the need for a secondary appointment.

If impacted earwax is identified and the appropriate removal procedure is performed, the patient should, in most cases, experience near-instant relief of symptoms.

In the rare case that relief is not fully achieved, consider booking an appointment with your GP or audiologist for further clinical advice.

Your visit to a hearing specialist or GP will be more effective and accurate if you have any wax removed beforehand.

The safest method of ear wax removal is microsuction, where a trained clinician uses gentle suction and magnification to carefully remove wax from the ear canal. It is quick, precise, and widely recommended by ear care professionals.

Yes. A buildup of earwax can block the ear canal and cause temporary hearing loss, muffled hearing, or a feeling of fullness in the ear. Once the wax is safely removed, hearing usually returns to normal.

If you are searching for ear wax removal near me, Ears of Axholme provides professional ear cleaning using microsuction and warm water irrigation (ear syringing) at our clinic and through home visits across Doncaster and the Isle of Axholme.

Yes. We offer warm water irrigation (formerly known as ear syringing) to gently flush softened wax from the ear.

However, microsuction is our main method, as it allows safe and precise ear wax removal.
