Is Earwax removal painful?

If you’ve been suffering from blocked ears, you might be wondering: is earwax removal painful? The short answer is — it shouldn’t be. When done professionally using the right method, ear cleaning is safe, quick, and comfortable.

At Out With The Wax, we provide gentle earwax removal at home across Greater Manchester using microsuction, the safest and most comfortable method available.

What Makes Earwax Removal Uncomfortable?

Discomfort during ear cleaning usually comes down to the method used and the person performing it. Some pharmacies and high street clinics still rely on syringing or irrigation, which uses water to flush out wax. This can cause:

  • Pressure or dizziness

  • Risk of ear infections

  • Water left behind in the ear

  • Discomfort for those with sensitive ears

Many people also find pharmacy appointments feel rushed or impersonal, especially at busy chain stores. And with prices starting from £60–£80, they’re not exactly cheap either.

Why Microsuction Is the Gold Standard

At Out With The Wax, we use microsuction — a modern, gentle method recommended by ENT specialists. It involves using a small suction device to safely remove wax without water. It’s quick, effective, and usually painless.

Our clinicians are trained, insured professionals who take time to make you feel at ease. We’re proud to have over 55 five-star reviews from clients who appreciate our care and attention to detail.
