Hopi Ear Candling
Thermal Auricular Therapy, also known as hopi ear candling, is a very popular and pleasant non-invasive treatment of the ears.
The candles used are made from natural ingredients, and when placed in the ear, they work on the chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed.
This treatment is soothing and can be used to treat common conditions such as excessive wax, sinusitis, earache, and tinnitus. It is a great pre-holiday treatment for the aeroplane or swimming.

Ear Irrigation
Ear irrigation is a procedure that uses warm water to remove earwax from the ear canal:
How it works
A trained professional uses an electronic ear irrigator or a rubber bulb syringe to gently squirt warm water into the ear canal. The water flushes out loose earwax.
When it's used
Ear irrigation is used when ear drops and an ear bulb don't work. It's only safe if the earwax has been softened.
How to prepare
To soften earwax, you can use ear drops containing olive oil, baby oil, mineral oil, glycerin, or hydrogen peroxide. You should use the drops 2-3 times a day for 2 weeks before irrigation.
What to expect
Ear irrigation is usually painless, but you should tell the professional immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, vertigo, or hearing loss. Side effects are typically short-lasting and go away within a day.

Ear Suction (both ears)
Microsuction is a gentle,
professional, water-free procedure used to remove earwax, dry skin, foreign bodies, and infective debris from your ears.
This procedure is far safer and more comfortable than all other forms of ear cleaning, including syringing and irrigation.
In addition to microsuction, a manual removal method may be required if the wax is too hard to be removed by microsuction alone.

Ear Syringing (both ears)
Ear syringing is a safe procedure, but we recommend it for the removal of soft ear wax
only. If the earwax is hard, there is a risk of perforating the eardrum. In this instance, we will recommend another ear procedure.
Ear syringing is also inadvisable if you have previously had complications following this procedure. We will also advise against this method of earwax removal if you have had ear surgery in the past, if you currently have an ear infection, or if you have a burst eardrum.
Some patients may feel dizzy after ear syringing, but this quickly settles. Occasionally, inflammation can develop in the ear canal following an ear syringing procedure, causing some itching and discomfort, but this can be easily treated with ear drops. It is extremely rare for ear syringing to cause damage to the ear or eardrum. But if you experience any ear pain, swelling, or discharge, please get in touch.
