Ear wax removal in Caldicot and south Monmouthshire
Patients from Caldicot and the villages along the B4245, including Magor, Undy, Portskewett, Sudbrook and Rogiet, come to The Chepstow Hearing Clinic for ear wax removal. The clinic is around 10 minutes from Caldicot along the A48.
What to check before booking
Ear wax removal is not a regulated activity in the UK, so anyone can offer it. Whoever you book with, ask who will carry out the treatment and what training they have. At The Chepstow Hearing Clinic, ear wax removal is carried out by trained clinicians, and clinical care is led by an HCPC-registered Hearing Aid Dispenser.
What the appointment includes
- An ear examination with a video otoscope, with images shown on screen before and after treatment
- Microsuction or water irrigation, chosen according to what the ears need
- Same-day and next-day appointments, frequently available
- A complimentary hearing screening where appropriate
The clinic also offers free hearing tests, hearing aids and aftercare, so a wider hearing concern can be looked at in the same place. See the Caldicot page for directions.
Preparing for your appointment
Use olive oil drops, or Earol spray, twice a day for three to five days before the appointment. This softens the wax and helps it to be removed in a single visit. It is particularly important for hearing aid wearers, as wax tends to build up more quickly. The clinic is at School Hill Centre, Chepstow NP16 5PH, with free parking outside.
Prices and booking
Ear wax removal costs up to £65 for both ears, including an ear examination before treatment. If there is little wax and removal is not needed, the clinician will say so. Appointments can be booked online or by calling 01291 332211.
