Ear Wax Removal Carlton

Among the lowest prices in Nottingham
You only pay for what you need
Michele shows you inside your ears on a camera screen first, and you pay only for the ears that need treatment.
Microsuction and irrigation
Not every clinic offers both. Michele uses whichever suits your wax, or both, for the same price.
Why Carlton patients come to Woodthorpe
There are closer options to Carlton, and patients still make the short drive. They come for the time Michele gives each appointment, for the chance to see inside their own ears on the camera screen, and for having both microsuction and irrigation in one place.
It is a straightforward 3.3-mile trip, and there is free parking outside the clinic, so most Carlton patients are there in around ten minutes.
Getting to the clinic from Carlton
The quickest route is usually via Cavendish Road, with Westdale Lane East as a good alternative. By bus it takes around 40 minutes with one change, so most people drive.
Happy Ears is at 4 Marlborough Road, Woodthorpe, Nottingham NG5 4FG. Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 3pm, by appointment only.
Get your ears ready before you come
The drive from Carlton is short, but it is worth making the visit count. Wax that has been softened with olive oil comes away far more easily, and usually in one appointment.
- Olive oil spray twice a day, for three to five days before your appointment, and at least two.
- Lie on your side with the ear you are treating facing up.
- Two short sprays at the entrance of the ear canal, then gently massage just in front of the ear.
- Stay on your side for at least five minutes.
Michele does not recommend sodium bicarbonate drops.
