    Yes! We recommend using Earol (olive oil) for two days before your scheduled appointment. Earol is a proven and effective method for softening compacted ear wax, so it is easier to remove it during the procedure. It is suitable for all age groups and simple to use.

    Attempting to remove ear wax at home on your own using DIY methods can be risky and may lead to more significant problems. Inserting cotton swabs, bobby pins, or other objects into the ear can push the wax deeper into the ear canal, making it harder to remove and causing damage to the ear.


    Colwyn Bay Hearing offers professional ear cleaning to ensure safe and effective removal without any adverse effects. Our experienced audiologists use specialised tools and techniques, such as microsuction, to safely eliminate ear wax blockages, and ensure optimal ear health.
