Yes! We use clinically approved techniques like microsuction and irrigation, carried out by trained professionals in a clean, safe environment.

Ear wax removal at Klear Clinic is generally comfortable and pain-free for most people. We use gentle, clinically approved techniques like microsuction and ear irrigation, designed to be as non-invasive as possible.

Ear wax (also called cerumen) is produced naturally by glands in the skin of your ear canal. It helps protect your ears by trapping dust, debris, and bacteria. Ear wax can build up for several reasons, including: Overactive wax glands Narrow or hairy ear canals Use of cotton buds, which push wax deeper Wearing hearing aids or earphones regularly Age-related changes in skin or wax consistency

To make your ear wax removal smoother and more effective, we recommend oiling your ears for 3–5 days before your visit. Using Earol olive oil spray helps soften the wax, making it easier and more comfortable to remove. Earol is available at most pharmacies, and we also stock it at the clinic if you need it. Just a couple of sprays in the affected ear(s) once or twice a day is usually enough!

Taking a physical ear impression is a quick and safe process. We gently insert a soft medical-grade silicone into your ear canal after placing a small protective barrier (called an otostop). The silicone sets in just a few minutes, capturing the unique shape of your ear. This is commonly done for custom earplugs, in-ear monitors, or hearing aids, and ensures a perfect, comfortable fit. The whole process takes around 10–15 minutes and is completely painless.

Not at all! Taking ear impressions is a quick, painless, and safe procedure. You may feel a bit of pressure or fullness in your ear while the silicone sets, but it’s not uncomfortable.

Q: Is there an age limit for getting ear impressions? We offer custom ear impressions for a wide range of ages, including children and adults. However, we can only guarantee a longer-lasting custom fit for adults over the age of 18. Q: Why can’t you guarantee a lasting fit for children? Children’s ears are still growing and changing shape. This means that custom ear plugs made for younger individuals may only fit well for a year or two before needing to be remade. For adults, the ear shape is more stable, so the fit lasts much longer. Q: Can children still get custom plugs? Absolutely! Custom ear plugs can still be made for children, especially for swimming, noise protection, or sensory support—just keep in mind they may need to be replaced as they grow.

Q: How long will it take to get my custom ear plugs after the impressions are taken? Once your ear impressions are made, we send them to your chosen manufacturer the same day. From there, it usually takes around 3 working weeks for your custom ear plugs to be made and returned to us. Q: Will I be notified when they arrive? Yes! As soon as your custom plugs arrive back at the clinic, we’ll contact you right away to arrange collection or fitting. Q: Can it take longer sometimes? Occasionally, delays can happen (e.g., during busy periods or bank holidays), but we’ll always keep you updated on your order’s progress.
