Ear Wax Removal Ruddington
Ruddington patients drive about 22 minutes round the ring road to Michele's clinic in Woodthorpe. Some say the same thing afterwards: they wish they had come sooner. Microsuction and irrigation, £35 for one ear or £50 for both.
For adults who know they have wax and have used olive oil spray for a few days first.
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.

It is easy to put off a blocked ear, hoping it will clear by itself. Sometimes it does. Often it does not.
Getting to the clinic from Ruddington
Clifton Boulevard and the ring road (A6514) are usually quickest. Through the city via Porchester Road is shorter but slower. By bus allow about 55 minutes: the 10 Green Line into the city, then the calverton.
Happy Ears is at 4 Marlborough Road, Woodthorpe, Nottingham NG5 4FG. Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 3pm, by appointment only.
Why it is better not to wait
- Wax that stays put gets harder. Older wax tends to be darker and more compacted, which makes it more stubborn to remove.
- Drops alone rarely shift a real blockage. Olive oil softens wax, but a full blockage usually needs removing.
- Poking at it makes it worse. The longer it goes on, the more tempting cotton buds become, and they push the wax deeper.
- You are missing out in the meantime. Muffled hearing makes conversations, phone calls and the TV harder work.
If it has been blocked for more than a week or two, start the olive oil spray now and book an appointment for a few days' time.
