How much does ear wax removal cost in Crewe?

What the price includes

The fee isn't just for the suction. Every appointment at our Nantwich Road clinic includes:

• Examination of both ears under bright magnification — even if only one feels blocked, we check both.
• A clear explanation of what we find: how much wax, how deep, and whether it explains your symptoms.
• Water-free microsuction where wax is confirmed, performed under direct vision by a trained clinician.
• Aftercare advice, including how to keep build-up from returning — especially useful for hearing aid wearers.

There's no referral fee, because no GP referral is needed, and no "assessment surcharge" — the examination is part of the price.

How that compares nationally

Private ear wax removal in the UK generally sits somewhere between £50 and £100 depending on the provider, the setting and the region, with both-ears appointments usually at the upper end. At £50 for one ear and £70 for both, our pricing sits at the accessible end of that range — deliberately. This is a high-street pharmacy service for our own community in Crewe and South Cheshire, not a boutique clinic. Full details are on our prices page.

Why cheapest-per-ear isn't the whole story

When comparing prices, two questions matter more than the headline number. First: does the clinic look before it removes? An examination-first approach means you pay for what you actually need, and it catches the cases where the problem isn't wax at all. Second: what happens if there's no wax? Our answer is an honest one — we explain the findings, advise on sensible next steps, and discuss everything with you before anything proceeds. Nobody is talked into a procedure their ears don't need.

One practical way to get the most from the fee: soften the wax first with olive oil drops or spray, twice daily for two to three days before you come in. Soft wax lifts out faster and more comfortably, which makes for an easier appointment all round. Ready when you are — most people are seen within the same week.
