Carl Heffy uses microsuction to clear wax, which simply means lifting it out with gentle, controlled suction rather than water or old-fashioned syringing. It is clean, it does not hurt and most people feel instant relief once the blockage is gone. A typical visit lasts around 15 to 30 minutes, and because Carl keeps a clear view of the ear canal throughout, your eardrum stays safe from start to finish.

Ear wax removal in Old Swan: your questions

How do I get to the clinic from Old Swan?
The simplest route is up the A5080 towards West Derby, which is around two miles and only a few minutes by car. The clinic is at St Marys Millennium Centre, L12 5EA, and parking is easy when you arrive.
Is there parking at the clinic?
Yes. One of the advantages of our West Derby location for Old Swan drivers is that parking at St Marys Millennium Centre is straightforward, so you are not circling around looking for a space.
What actually happens during microsuction?
Carl looks into your ear with a magnified light, then uses a fine suction tool to gently draw the wax out. There is no water and no scraping, and you can hear a soft suction sound. It is quick and comfortable.
Does it hurt at all?
It should not. Most people find microsuction painless and are surprised how easy it is. If you ever feel uncomfortable, tell Carl and he will stop right away.
Can I just turn up, or do I need to book?
It is best to book a slot so Carl can give you his full attention at a set time. You can book online or call 07305 965131 to arrange a time that suits you.
Will clearing the wax help my blocked ear?
If wax is the cause, then yes, removing it usually clears that blocked, full feeling. Carl checks your ears first so you know whether wax is really the culprit before anything is done.
Should I soften the wax with drops first?
Sometimes it helps, especially with stubborn wax, but it is not always required for microsuction. If you are not sure, call ahead on 07305 965131 and Carl will let you know what is best.
How long should I set aside for the appointment?
Around 15 to 30 minutes is typical. Both ears together can take a touch longer, but you will not be kept waiting around unnecessarily.
I have hearing aids. Is microsuction suitable?
Yes, it suits hearing aid wearers well. Because aids can encourage more wax, regular professional clearing keeps your ears and your devices working properly.
What will it cost?
The price is confirmed when you book so there are no hidden surprises. You can find details on the cost page or ask directly on 07305 965131.
Can both my ears be done on the same day?
They can. Carl will assess each ear and clear whatever wax is present in the one appointment, so you go home with both ears feeling clearer.
