Ear wax removal in Coventry, clearing blocked ears in a single visit at our Charter Avenue clinic.
Same-day endoscopic microsuction with HCPC-registered audiologists, as well as clear pricing, free on-site parking and no GP referral.
First, we examine your ear with our endoscopic HD cameras and show you the impacted ear wax before we start. The procedure is gentle and pain-free, and afterwards we give you pictures of the result.
We equipped our Coventry clinic rooms especially for ear wax removal and ear care. As a result, you get a clean, private and properly lit clinical setting for your procedure. There is also disabled access throughout, and our expert audiologists lead the site.
Ear wax removal is an unregulated industry, so the standard of training varies enormously. That is why we have invested heavily in ENT-grade endoscopic equipment and ongoing clinical training. As a result, our patients get the safest and most effective procedure available, even in difficult cases other providers turn away.
Traditional syringing flushes the ear blind, with warm water and no view of what is happening inside. In contrast, endoscopic microsuction gives a magnified camera view of your ear canal throughout. Then a fine medical suction pen lifts the wax out without any water. That means no soaking and no pressure against the eardrum, as well as a much lower risk of infection or trauma. So clinicians recommend it for patients with a history of perforation, grommets, ear surgery or recurrent ear infections. It is also our standard method for ear wax removal in Coventry.
Your ear canal produces ear wax in its outer third. It contains alcohols, cholesterol and lipids, and it protects the ear from infection and foreign bodies. Under normal circumstances, this works perfectly. First, the ear makes wax, and then jaw movements naturally move it out of the ear canal. However, problems arise if you are more prone to ear wax build-up, for example because of:
At this point, ear wax can no longer move out of the ear canal. As a result, it can cause blockages and sudden drops in your hearing, because the blockage stops sound from reaching your eardrum.
An HCPC-registered audiologist, not a technician, carries out every procedure at our Coventry clinic. For example, Danish Mushtaq, our clinical hearing aid dispenser and microsuction specialist, has 5 years of clinical experience. As a result, he can deal with the toughest ear wax removal cases.
We also see patients from Leamington Spa, Rugby, Nuneaton, Solihull and across Warwickshire. There is no catchment area, and you don’t need a referral.
We are on Charter Avenue in CV4, close to the A45 as well as the Westwood Heath and Cromwell Lane junctions. There is a dedicated free car park directly outside, and there is also step-free disabled access into the building. So there are no city-centre parking charges and no long walk from the car.
Tile Hill railway station is around 1 mile away, with direct services from Coventry, Birmingham International and Birmingham New Street. Canley railway station is also around 1.5 miles away. In addition, buses 18 and 18A run frequently along Charter Avenue.

Ear wax removal at our Coventry clinic is £50 for one ear and £70 for both ears. Also, there are no add-on charges. If we examine your ears and find no wax, we do not charge you for a removal that did not happen. Instead, we explain what is causing your symptoms and what to do next.
No. You can book directly online or call 0121 369 0780. Then we can usually see you the same day or within 24 to 48 hours.
Microsuction uses a fine medical suction device to lift wax out of the ear. Meanwhile, a magnified endoscopic view guides us around the canal and eardrum. Because we use no water, there is no pressure against the eardrum and no risk of trapped moisture causing infection afterwards. In contrast, syringing happens without a clear view of the canal. That is why many clinicians now see microsuction as the safer option, and it is what we use as standard.
A few drops of olive oil for two or three days beforehand usually helps, since softer wax lifts out more easily.
However, please don’t use too many ear drops. Excessive drops can sometimes melt the ear wax onto the eardrum. As a result, the procedure becomes more complex, because the wax sits so close to the eardrum.
Most appointments take 15 to 30 minutes from start to finish. This also includes the examination, as well as before and after pictures and videos.
We are at 312A Charter Avenue, Coventry CV4 8DA, on the Tile Hill side of the city. There is also free parking directly outside in our car park, as well as step-free disabled access. Tile Hill station is about a mile away, and buses 18 and 18A along Charter Avenue also connect Cannon Park, Canley and the University of Warwick.
