Pre-Hearing Aid Wax Removal
Get the Best from Your Hearing Aids
If you’re preparing for a hearing aid fitting or struggling with your current aids, it’s essential to make sure your ears are clear of wax. Even a small blockage can affect the accuracy of hearing tests, reduce the performance of your devices, and cause discomfort.
At Pro Ear Clinic, we provide professional earwax removal before hearing aid fittings, helping you achieve the clearest possible results and the best hearing experience.
Why Wax Removal is Important Before a Hearing Aid Fitting
- Accurate hearing tests – wax can block sound from reaching the eardrum, leading to incorrect test results
- Better device performance – hearing aids work best in clean, clear ear canals
- Improved comfort – wax can cause irritation or interfere with the fit of your hearing aid moulds or domes
- Reduced feedback and whistling – clear ear canals reduce the chance of unwanted sound feedback

We use both microsuction and water irrigation to safely and effectively clear your ears. Our specialist will examine your ears with a video otoscope and recommend the most suitable method for you.

Questions and Answers
Yes. Even a small amount of wax can affect the results, leading to less accurate prescriptions or poorly fitted devices.
Most audiologists require patients to have clear ear canals before testing or fitting. That’s why many recommend professional wax removal first.
We recommend arranging wax removal a few days before your appointment so your ears are clear and comfortable.
If we find no wax during your appointment, you’ll only be charged a £45 consultation fee instead of the full treatment price.
