Customer Reviews
I would like to give many thanks to the audiologist at Silverdale Pharmacy.
He was incredibly polite, very gentle and put me at ease before and during my visit for micro suction. He quickly identified I had a large perforation in my ear drum and recommended I talk to the GP immediately to get referred to the ENT hospital department. After seeing the GP (who told me to come back in 2 months), the audiologist was very concerned and suggested I see them again, but a different GP - which I did - and they agreed with him that it was necessary for me to see the ENT team as I need specialist help. Without his expert knowledge and guidance, I would've been lost as had no idea what, if anything, had happened!
He also looked at my hearing aids and noted I needed new pipes which I
also wasn't aware of.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the audiologist to anyone else (and have already done so!)
Many thanks,
V. Westhead
Clears Healthcare was recommended to me by an Gp surgery. Both my ears were filled with hardened brown ear wax that had been there for months! The audiologist removed the wax from both my ears in about 20 minutes using micro-suction suction technology. He showed me before and after videos and the difference was clear to see. He pointed out the features he could now see on my clear eardrums, and again they were clear to see. He also showed me the actual wax that he had removed.
The process was painless. he took his time and was extremely sensitive. He is a fully qualified audiologist which is extremely important to me from a safety point of view. He was friendly and communicated well with me regarding the appointment that took place at my home. The treatment was excellent value for money.
I value my hearing. I am extremely grateful for the friendly, professional and effective removal of my ear wax.
Thank you

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is it important to have regular hearing checks?Regular hearing checks are crucial for detecting early signs of hearing loss or other auditory issues. Early intervention can prevent further damage and improve treatment outcomes.
-
How often should I have a hearing check?The frequency of hearing checks depends on various factors, including age, occupational noise exposure, and personal history. As a general guideline, adults should have a hearing evaluation at least once every three years.
-
What are the benefits of having a hearing check?A hearing check can help identify hearing loss, assess the severity of any impairment, and determine appropriate treatment options. It can also detect underlying medical conditions affecting hearing, such as ear infections or tumours.
-
At what age should I start having regular hearing checks?It's recommended to have a baseline hearing evaluation in adulthood, ideally by the age of 50. However, individuals with risk factors such as exposure to loud noise, family history of hearing loss, or certain medical conditions may need earlier screenings.
-
Who should conduct a hearing check?Hearing checks should be conducted by a qualified audiologist or hearing professional. These professionals have the expertise and specialist equipment to assess hearing function accurately.
-
What happens during a hearing check?During a hearing check, your audiologist will review your medical history, perform a physical examination of the ears, and conduct various hearing tests to assess your hearing sensitivity, ability to understand speech, and other auditory functions.
-
How long does a hearing check take?The duration of a hearing check can vary depending on the complexity of the evaluation and individual factors. Typically, it may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete the assessment.
-
Is a hearing check covered by insurance?Many health insurance plans cover hearing checks, especially if they are deemed medically necessary. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider to determine coverage details and any out-of-pocket expenses.
-
What if a hearing check reveals hearing loss?If a hearing check indicates hearing loss, your audiologist will discuss treatment options tailored to your needs. These may include hearing aids, assistive listening devices, communication strategies, or referral to other healthcare professionals for further evaluation.
-
Can I prevent hearing loss with regular hearing checks?While some causes of hearing loss may be preventable, regular hearing checks can help detect issues early and prevent further deterioration through timely intervention and appropriate management strategies.
-
What causes excessive ear wax build up?Excessive ear wax, also known as cerumen, can occur due to various factors such as genetics, the shape of your ear canal, frequent use of earbuds or hearing aids, or simply as a natural mechanism to protect the ear.
-
What are the symptoms of excessive ear wax?Symptoms may include earache, partial hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness in the ear, itching or irritation in the ear canal, and sometimes even dizziness.
-
Why is it important to remove excess ear wax?While ear wax serves as a protective barrier for the ear canal, excessive buildup can lead to discomfort and hearing problems. Removing excess ear wax can alleviate symptoms, improve hearing, and prevent potential complications such as ear infections.
-
Why do GP’s no longer offer ear wax removal?While GP’s did previously provide ear wax removal services, many have now stopped offering this service due to several reasons: Specialised Skills and Equipment: Removal of ear wax requires specific skills and specialist equipment, such as micro-suction or irrigation devices. GP’s may not have the necessary training or access to the equipment needed for safe and effective wax removal. Time and Resources: Ear wax removal can be a time-consuming process, especially if there is a significant amount of wax or if it is impacted. GP’s may not have the time or resources to dedicate to multiple appointments for ear wax removal, especially when they have other patients to attend to. Availability of Specialist Services: In many areas, there are now dedicated ear wax clinics or audiology practices that specialise in wax removal. These are staffed by professionals who have specific training and experience in dealing with ear wax issues, providing a more specialised and efficient service. NHS Guidelines: In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued guidelines in 2004 recommending the use of certain medications for the treatment of various medical conditions. These guidelines are developed based on extensive research and evidence-based medicine and are frequently updated to ensure the best possible care for patients.
-
How often should ear wax be removed?The frequency of ear wax removal varies from person to person. It's generally recommended to avoid removing ear wax too frequently as it can disrupt the ear's natural cleaning process. If you're experiencing symptoms of excessive ear wax, it's best to consult with a professional for personalised advice.
-
What are the benefits of professional ear wax removal?Professional ear wax removal ensures safe and effective removal of excess wax without causing damage to the ear canal or eardrum. It can help restore hearing, alleviate discomfort, and reduce the risk of complications associated with improper removal techniques.
-
What methods are used for ear wax removal?Ear wax removal methods include irrigation (flushing the ear with water), suction (using a specialised vacuum device), and manual removal with specialized tools. The method chosen depends on the severity of the wax build-up and individual circumstances.
-
Is ear wax removal painful?When performed by a trained professional, ear wax removal should not be painful. You may experience slight discomfort or pressure during the procedure, but it should not be painful. If you experience pain, inform your audiologist immediately.
-
Can I remove ear wax at home?While there are over-the-counter ear wax removal kits available, it's important to use them with caution. Improper removal techniques or the use of sharp objects can damage the ear canal or eardrum. It's generally safer to seek professional assistance for ear wax removal, especially if you're experiencing symptoms or have a history of ear problems.
-
How can I prevent excessive ear wax buildup?While some degree of ear wax is normal and healthy, you can help prevent excessive buildup by avoiding the use of cotton swabs or other objects to clean your ears, using earplugs when swimming, and seeking prompt treatment for ear infections or other ear-related issues. Regular ear hygiene and monitoring can also help maintain ear health.
