Would recommend 100% - had an appointment with Michele today. What a lovely lady - very professional. Took time to make me feel at ease and also to explain the procedure as she went along. So lovely to be able to hear properly again!!! Wouldn't hesitate to go back if I have any problems with my ears in the future.

I highly recommend Michele at Happy Ears! She’s gentle and considerate, and genuinely cares for you and your ears. The clinic is a lovely relaxing environment, and Michele takes time to explain and discuss treatment options. Her prices are lower than most, and she’s definitely worth a visit if you need ear wax removal.

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.
Three ways to remove ear wax
Michele looks at your ears on camera first, then uses whichever method suits your wax. The price is the same whichever she uses, because you pay per ear, not per method.
Microsuction
A fine suction tube lifts the wax out while Michele watches closely. Often the choice for wax deep in the canal.
Ear microsuction
Warm water irrigation
A gentle, machine-controlled flow of warm water flushes softened wax out. The safer modern version of syringing.
Ear irrigation
Manual removal
Where the wax is close enough, Michele lifts it out with fine instruments. Where it is possible, it is the safest option.
How it works
- Soften the wax Olive oil spray twice a day for three to five days before you come, and at least two.
- Book online Choose one ear or both and pick a time. If it turns out differently on the day, you only pay for the ears that are treated.
- See inside your ears Michele looks with a camera and shows you the picture on screen.
- The wax comes out By microsuction, irrigation or manual removal, with each step explained as she goes.
- See the result She shows you your ears again afterwards, so you know they are clear.
Michele does not recommend sodium bicarbonate drops.

Patients come from all over Nottingham, and beyond
Michele's patients travel from right across Nottingham, and some from much further afield who happened to be in the city when their ears blocked.
If it is your first time, the reviews, photos and clinic video on this page show you exactly what to expect. Many first-timers say that is what put their minds at rest before booking.
And if you need wax removed regularly but do not get on with microsuction or irrigation, you have the other method to fall back on.

Questions about ear wax removal
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book online yourself, with no referral and no waiting list.
How much does ear wax removal cost?
£35 for one ear and £50 for both. You pay for the ears that are treated, whichever you booked: if you booked both and only one has wax, you pay £35.
How should I prepare?
Use olive oil spray twice a day for three to five days before your appointment, and for at least two. Michele does not recommend sodium bicarbonate drops. How to prepare your ears
Which method is safest?
It depends on the wax and your ear canal. Where the wax can be reached, manual removal is the safest, with microsuction next. Michele looks first and explains her choice.
Is ear wax removal safe?
Yes, when it is done by a trained professional. Michele checks your ears first, and if she finds a problem other than wax she will not go ahead and will advise you to see your GP.
What if not all the wax comes out?
Very stubborn wax sometimes needs a second visit. If you prepared your ears with olive oil, the return visit is free.
Do you treat children?
No. Happy Ears treats adults aged 18 and over.
Do you offer home visits?
No. Every appointment is at the clinic in Woodthorpe, where all the equipment is set up.
