Carl Heffy offers microsuction, which is a gentle way of clearing ear wax using soft, controlled suction rather than water or syringing. It does not hurt, most appointments take about 15 to 30 minutes, and a lot of people feel that blocked, muffled feeling lift almost straight away. Your eardrum stays safe throughout because Carl works under a clear, magnified view of the ear canal the whole time.

Ear wax removal in West Derby: your questions

Where exactly is the clinic in West Derby?
Clear Ears By Carl runs from St Marys Millennium Centre in West Derby, postcode L12 5EA. It is a familiar community venue, so if you know West Derby village you will have no trouble finding us. Parking is straightforward and the entrance is easy to reach.
Can I walk to my appointment from West Derby village?
Many of our West Derby patients do exactly that. The clinic sits within easy walking distance of the village, so if you would rather leave the car at home you can. If you do drive, you will only be a couple of minutes away.
Does microsuction ear wax removal hurt?
No, it should not hurt. Microsuction uses gentle suction to lift the wax out, and most people describe it as a slightly odd noise rather than anything painful. If anything ever feels uncomfortable, just tell Carl and he will pause.
How long will I be in the clinic?
Plan for around 15 to 30 minutes. The exact time depends on how much wax there is and whether one ear or both need clearing. Carl never rushes, but he also will not keep you longer than needed.
Do I need a referral from my GP to come?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with Clear Ears By Carl without going through your GP first, which is one reason local residents choose us when NHS appointments are hard to get.
Should I use ear drops before my visit?
Softening drops a few days beforehand can help with very hard wax, but they are not always necessary for microsuction. If you are unsure, give Carl a call on 07305 965131 and he will advise you for your situation.
Why is microsuction better than having my ears syringed?
Microsuction does not flush water into the ear, so there is far less mess and it suits people who cannot have syringing, such as those with a history of perforations. Carl can see exactly what he is doing the entire time, which makes it a very controlled method.
I wear hearing aids. Can you still help?
Yes. Hearing aid wearers often get more wax build-up, so regular clearing can really help your aids work properly. Microsuction is well suited to hearing aid users, and Carl can check your ears at the same time.
What does ear wax removal cost?
Prices are confirmed when you book, so there are no surprises. You can see the latest details on our cost page or simply ask Carl when you get in touch on 07305 965131.
What are your opening times?
Appointments are by arrangement rather than fixed drop-in hours, so the easiest thing is to call 07305 965131 or book online and pick a slot that works for you. Carl will always confirm your time with you.
Can you remove wax from both ears in one visit?
Yes, both ears can usually be done in the same appointment. Carl will check each ear first and clear whatever wax is there, so you leave with both ears feeling clearer.
