Ear wax is a natural by-product of the ear canal and in most of the population it falls out without any intervention. If it does build up it can cause your hearing to be reduced and a blocked feeling. Hearing loss, pain or discomfort in your ear may be signs of ear wax build-up. Ear wax can be relatively innocuous, but in some cases it can have a real impact on your quality of life.
Having problematic ear wax removed is an important part of your ear health, and overall wellbeing. According to the RNID 2.3 million people a year in the UK need their ear wax removed by a professional.
There are two methods of ear wax removal. The preferred method today is micro-suction.
At Bryce Hearing Services we recommend that an ear wax softening product, such as Earol Olive Oil Spray, is used for at least a couple of days before your appointment, this will help to soften the built up wax and will make it easier and quicker to remove. However ear drops and sprays of any type must not be used if you have a perforated eardrum!
This is where a special suction device is used to remove the earwax under a microscope. It involves a low-pressure suction probe being inserted into the ear which will remove excess wax and debris. This latest technology means your ear wax removal will be quick, safe, painless and effective.
The less common method of wax removal is irrigation, this involves using a pressurised flow of water to gently remove the build-up of wax in the ear canal.
At your appointment you will be asked questions about:
These symptoms may be the result of an ear infection and must be treated before wax removal can be performed.
Ear irrigation is not recommended if you have:

What our customers say
Alan Patterson6. May, 2025. Excellent service. Went in to have earwax removed and then a hearing test. Made a massive difference to my hearing, actually cant believe the change! Professional, friendly and informative. My earwax wouldn't budge on the first attempt, and was given good advice to use Earol spray daily and come back after a week and all good on the second go. Would highly recommend. Peter Wiuff19. April, 2025. Went to get a hearing test, and it was a very professional and thorough appointment. They were able to help with all my questions and queries jim mcfadyen14. March, 2025. In summary Bryce provide an excellent highly professional service and I recommend them to anyone who has concerns about their hearing. Nice friendly welcome from the reception staff. Jayne (Audiometrist) was very knowledgable and fully explained all of my hearing test results. The discussion about use of a hearing aid was collaborative and there was no sales pitch. I was provided a demonstration set to fully trial for just over a week. This allowed me to trial the aid in various settings. Ultimately I did not feel that my hearing is at the stage where the benefit provided by the aid is significant, but I will revisit this at my next hearing test at Bryce. Ian Staples27. January, 2025. Excellent service William Urquhart27. January, 2025. Two years ago , was aware that my hearing was deteriorating and like many others I found that to get a test or an retest at the NHS Audiology Department I was faced with a long waiting time. With this in mind I decided to "check out private Audiology companies in Aberdeen I noticed that Bryce Hearing Services had a number of positive reviews. so decided to contact them., and was not disappointed by my choice . I was seen personally by the owner Jayne Bryce, after a number of questions., hearing tests was fitted with two Starkey ( in ear) hearing aids, that improved my hearing by 100per cent.!! Recently I was contacted for a review, and after a quick phone call an appointment was arranged. This time I was seen by Fraser Bryce and after the usual questions Fraser checked both ears for wax retested my hearing, then adjusted my aids to my recent test. My thanks to Fraser for his help and professionalism then was most surprised I was told today's visit was FOC !! If you are having problems with your hearing.i strongly suggest that you contact Bryce Hearing Services. Bill Urquhart. Christopher Sherwin12. December, 2024. Lovely friendly service. Highly recommend. Lydia Mackie23. September, 2024. I want to highly recommend Fraser at Bryce Hearing Services. Fraser is excellent at conveying all the necessary information I required to have an easy transition into the world of hearing loss and wearing hearing aids. He took all the time needed to make sure I was picking the correct hearing aids for my life style and explained everything in great detail so that I felt confident in my choice. He is so patient, knowledgeable and conscientious. If like me you do not want to accept you have a hearing loss and delay actually doing anything about it, please do not as it is a wonderful thing to hear normally again. Thanks also to Jayne for her great service and advice. Ruth Hickling3. April, 2024. I cannot recommend Jane highly enough. I have a long term issue with my ears and recently returned to Jane after having an unsuccessful appointment with the NHS consultant. Jane usually was able to deal with the problem but this time it was more challenging and she referred me to a colleague Bill, in Inverness, a retired ENT consultant. He resolved the problem and I can hear again and we have a plan in place going forward. Many thanks Bryce Hearing Mike Porter25. February, 2024.
