About this treatment

Our Ears That Hear clinic at SOMA offers safe, effective earwax removal performed by specialist practitioner Julie Samways. Using microsuction — the gold standard method for earwax removal — Julie gently clears blockages to relieve discomfort, improve hearing, and restore ear health.

Excess earwax is a common problem that can cause reduced hearing, a feeling of fullness, earache, tinnitus, and even dizziness. Professional removal is far safer than cotton buds or ear candles, which can push wax deeper and cause further problems.

Important — Before Your Appointment

Please use ear oil (such as Earol Spray) twice daily for at least 3 days before your appointment to soften the wax and allow safe removal.

If the wax is very hard or impacted, it may not be fully removable in one session. A follow-up appointment may be required after continued oil use. A full consultation is included at your appointment to assess suitability before treatment begins.

Removal Methods

Microsuction

The gold standard method. A small, gentle vacuum is used to precisely remove wax from the ear canal. Safe, quick, and highly effective — this is the preferred method for most cases and requires no water in the ear.

Water Irrigation

A controlled stream of warm water gently flushes wax from the ear canal. An effective alternative when microsuction is not suitable. The method used will be determined at your consultation based on your ear health.

Common Questions

Is earwax removal painful?
No — earwax removal is generally pain-free. You may feel a slight tickling or suction sensation during microsuction, but most clients find it very comfortable. No anaesthetic is required.
Do I need to prepare before my appointment?
Yes — please use ear oil (such as Earol Spray) twice daily for at least 3 days before your appointment. This softens the wax and makes removal much easier and more effective. Hard or impacted wax without prior softening may not be fully removable in a single session.
What if the wax can't be fully removed in one session?
If the wax is very hard or impacted, it may not be fully removable in one session. In that case, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled after a further period of oil use to soften the remaining wax. This is common and nothing to worry about.
How often should I have my ears checked?
For most people, ears are self-cleaning and don't need regular professional removal. However, if you wear hearing aids, use earphones frequently, or are prone to build-up, a 6-monthly check-up is recommended to prevent hard wax impaction before it causes discomfort.
Why is microsuction safer than cotton buds?
Cotton buds, ear candles, and other home remedies typically push wax further into the ear canal rather than removing it, leading to impaction and potential damage. Microsuction removes wax directly and safely using a gentle vacuum under direct visual guidance — it does not push anything further in.

Ear Wax Removal – Microsuction (Julie Samways, Ears That Hear)

Safe, effective ear wax removal using microsuction, performed by our experienced specialist Julie Samways. This gentle method removes wax to relieve blocked ears, improve hearing, and reduce discomfort.

Important preparation:

Please use ear oil (e.g. Earol Spray oil) twice daily for at least 3 days before your appointment to soften the wax and allow safe removal.
Some people produce more wax, have narrower or curved ear canals, making build-up more likely. Hearing aids, earphones, cotton buds can also push wax deeper, causing impaction.
If the wax is very hard or impacted, it may not be fully removable in one session. A follow-up appointment may be required after continued oil use.
If you are prone to build-up, we recommend a 6-monthly check-up to prevent hard wax build up and impact which can become uncomfortable and may irritate the ear canal.
A full consultation is included to ensure suitability.

After Care

Post Treatment Expectations

Following micro-needling, expect some redness and mild swelling that will feel a little like sunburn, which typically fades within a few days. Skin might peel slightly as it heals. Results, such as improved skin texture and reduced fine lines, may appear gradually over weeks to months due to increased collagen production. Adhering to post-treatment care, including sun protection and gentle skincare, is crucial for optimal healing. Be patient, as full benefits take time to show, and follow-up sessions may be necessary for sustained results.

Post Treatment Aftercare

After your treatment, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and apply a soothing, non-irritating moisturiser to aid in the skin's recovery. For the first few days, use gentle skincare products and avoid harsh chemicals or exfoliants. Apply sunscreen regularly to shield the treated area from UV rays. Minimize makeup use and intense physical activities for a few days to allow the skin to heal. Hydrate well and refrain from picking at any peeling skin.

Please note, the above aftercare is just a guide. Full aftercare advice will be given to you when you attend your appointment with us.
