Microsuction · Huntingdon

Ear wax removal in Huntingdon, from £35.

Gentle, expert microsuction wax removal at the Oak Tree Centre. No water, no syringing — just safe relief, usually within the week.

What is microsuction?

Microsuction is the modern, NHS-preferred method for removing ear wax. Using a small medical suction device and a magnified view of the ear canal, our trained clinician gently lifts wax away — no water, no pressure, and no mess. It's fast, comfortable and considered the safest option, especially for people with perforated eardrums, hearing aids or a history of ear infections.

How to prepare

Two minutes of prep, lifelong relief.

For the best results, soften your ear wax with olive oil drops (available from any pharmacy) for 3–5 days before your appointment. A few drops, twice a day, is plenty. If you forget, don't worry — we can still treat you on the day in most cases.
