Professional Ear Wax Removal in Winchcombe
If you're suffering from blocked ears, reduced hearing or discomfort caused by excess ear wax, Cotswold Ear Care provides safe, professional microsuction ear wax removal from our clinic in Winchcombe and through convenient mobile appointments across Cheltenham and the surrounding Cotswolds.
Using the gold-standard microsuction technique, we can safely remove ear wax without the use of water syringing, helping you hear clearly again.
What is Ear Wax?
Ear wax (also known as cerumen) is a completely natural substance produced by your ears to protect the ear canal. It traps dust, dirt and bacteria, helping to keep your ears healthy.
Normally, ear wax works its way out of the ear naturally. However, sometimes it can build up and become impacted, leading to symptoms that require professional removal.
Signs You May Need Ear Wax Removal
You may benefit from professional ear wax removal if you're experiencing:
- Blocked ears
- Reduced or muffled hearing
- Ear discomfort
- A feeling of fullness in the ear
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Difficulty wearing hearing aids due to wax build-up
- Frequent ear wax build-up
If you're unsure whether ear wax is causing your symptoms, Jennie can assess your ears and advise on the most appropriate treatment.
Why Choose Microsuction?
Microsuction is widely regarded as the safest and most effective method of removing excess ear wax.
Unlike traditional ear syringing, microsuction:
- Uses gentle suction to remove wax
- Does not require water
- Is suitable for many people who cannot have ear syringing
- Allows the ear canal to be viewed throughout the procedure
- Is quick, clean and comfortable
Treatment is carried out using specialist clinical equipment in a calm and professional environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does microsuction hurt?
Most patients find microsuction comfortable. Some people may experience slight sensitivity depending on the amount or location of the wax.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly without seeing your GP first.
How long does treatment take?
Most appointments take between 30 and 45 minutes.
Do I need to use olive oil before my appointment?
If possible, using a few drops of olive oil in the affected ear for 3–5 days before your appointment can help soften the wax and make removal easier. However, please do not delay booking if this isn't possible.
Is microsuction suitable for everyone?
Microsuction is suitable for many people, although certain medical conditions or recent ear surgery may mean treatment isn't appropriate. Jennie will assess your ears before proceeding.
