How long does an ear wax removal appointment take?

Do I need a referral to book an appointment?

Do I need to use oil before a treatment?

The use of olive oil for a few days leading up to your appointment can help soften the wax in preparation for removal. If you have not used oil and are booking a same day appointment, we can still remove ear wax in a safe and pain-free way. If you suspect you have a perforation or feel any pain, we do not recommend the use of oil.
