Private Ear Wax Removal

An otologist is a specialist who has completed additional training beyond a standard ENT qualification, focusing exclusively on conditions of the ear. While a general ENT treats a broad range of ear, nose and throat conditions, an otologist brings a deeper level of expertise specifically to ear disorders, making them the most appropriate choice for complex or persistent ear problems.

No. As a private patient you can refer yourself directly without needing to see your GP first. Simply contact us to book a consultation at a time that suits you. If you do have a referral letter or any previous test results, we encourage you to bring these along as they can be helpful during your assessment.

We understand that ear problems can be distressing and we aim to offer appointments as quickly as possible. In most cases we can see you within a few days. Please contact our team directly and we will do our best to accommodate your preferred date and time.

Your first consultation will typically last around half an hour. Your specialist will take a detailed medical history, discuss your symptoms and carry out a thorough examination of your ears. Where necessary, additional tests such as a hearing assessment or endoscopic examination may be arranged. You will leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a personalised plan for next steps.
