Not every clinic offers both. Michele uses whichever suits your wax, or both, for the same price.

A lot of people first notice a wax problem when an ear blocks without warning, often after water gets in.
Getting to the clinic from Wilford
Clifton Boulevard and the ring road (A6514) are usually quickest. Through the city via Porchester Road or Mansfield Road is shorter but slower. By public transport allow about 40 minutes: the tram or the 4 into the city, then the calverton or the 58 Lime Line.
Happy Ears is at 4 Marlborough Road, Woodthorpe, Nottingham NG5 4FG. Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm, Saturday 8am to 3pm, by appointment only.
Blocked after a shower or a swim?
Wax that has been building up quietly can absorb water and swell. That is why a partly blocked ear can suddenly become fully blocked after washing your hair, a shower or a swim.
- Do not dig at it. Cotton buds and fingers push the wax further in.
- Tilt your head to let any loose water drain out.
- If it stays blocked, start olive oil spray twice a day and book an appointment for a few days' time.
- See your GP or pharmacist first if there is pain, discharge or a temperature.
Once the wax is out, Michele shows you your ear on screen so you know it is clear.
