What to expect when you arrive on site

Hearing First Ashford is situated within the Kent Sports Academy Creative Quarter, with a clear postal code, TN24 8FN, to make life easier for sat navs and mapping apps. The clinic is signposted from nearby junctions and estate roads, and on arrival you will encounter a reception, a waiting area set up for social distancing, and free on-site disabled parking right next to the entrance, so access for those with mobility needs is straightforward. The team suggests adding five extra minutes if the estate layout is unfamiliar, especially during commuter peaks or when events are on.

Helpful planning info includes suggested arrival times, public transport suggestions and the reminder that audiologists perform microsuction here. If paper maps suit you better, follow Javelin Way and nearby roundabouts as physical markers. Cyclists and pedestrians can follow Creative Quarter signage from the town centre, and staff will happily provide short written directions on request to aid your journey and make your visit less stressful.

How must does ear wax removal in Ashford cost?

Ear wax removal in Ashford starts at £34, with the final cost depending on whether one or two ears are treated, whether you book peak or off-peak, and how soon you book.

Driving directions, parking and accessibility

Best driving routes from key roads

From the M20, exit at Junction 9 and follow signs for Ashford town centre, then use the local directions to join Javelin Way into the Creative Quarter. If you are coming from the A28, follow signs for the Kent Sports Academy and Creative Quarter, these routes avoid narrow residential streets and deliver you to the estate roads serving the clinic. Sat navs using the full address or postcode generally do a good job, but when events or roadworks are happening the estate can become busier, so allow extra time at peak weekday hours and for matchday traffic.

Parking layout and disabled access

• If the main car park is full, follow the estate signs to the overflow parking which is a short walk away, surfaces are paved and well lit, but if walking is difficult let reception know and we can arrange a closer space if available when you arrive.
• The clinic provides a limited number of marked parking bays close to the entrance, these are designed for drop off and short stays, so plan to park in the nearest long stay area if you expect a longer visit, particularly if audiology assessment or additional testing is anticipated.
• On-site disabled parking is available adjacent to the clinic door, offering level access and sufficient space for mobility aids, if you require assistance with parking please call ahead and the staff will advise on the most convenient bay to use.
• There is a designated turning area within the Creative Quarter for larger vehicles, this reduces the need to reverse on narrow estate roads and keeps traffic flowing during busy periods, adjust your approach if you are towing or using a wide vehicle.
• Observe local traffic management signs and temporary closures, especially during weekend events or construction work, these can alter the normal route to the clinic, check the clinic phone number or website on the day for the latest guidance.

Driver tip

If you rely on a mapping app, set it to the postcode TN24 8FN and check live traffic, this reduces the chance of being routed via narrow lanes, and newer map data tends to show the estate correctly if older maps label it as private.

Short caveat

Large delivery vehicles and coaches may need alternative access, if you are arriving in an oversized vehicle phone ahead so staff can confirm the best approach and parking area to avoid blocking estate roads.

Public transport routes and practical advice

Rail, bus and taxi options to the clinic

1. Evening trains and buses are less frequent, so if your appointment is late check return times and consider pre-booking a taxi for the return journey to avoid long waits on quiet routes, this helps if your ear feels sensitive after microsuction.
2. If you plan to use the bus, aim to alight at the stop nearest Javelin Way and follow signed pedestrian routes through the estate, pavements are mostly even though some kerb drops may be tricky for wheelchair users, so a taxi might be preferable if mobility is a concern.
3. From Ashford International Station, take a short taxi of roughly ten minutes to the Kent Sports Academy, taxis are readily available at the station rank and provide the most direct door to door option, handy if you have luggage or mobility needs.
4. Local Stagecoach and Arriva buses link the town centre with stops on Orbital Road, from there it is a fifteen to twenty minute walk to the Creative Quarter; frequencies vary outside peak hours, so check timetables before you travel.
5. Community transport and demand responsive minibuses operate for residents with mobility limitations, these usually need advance booking, contact Ashford Borough Council or the clinic for guidance and booking details, this can make travel to an audiology appointment much easier.

When using public transport, carry a printed or digital copy of the clinic address and postcode, TN24 8FN, and note nearby bus stops; the clinic can supply a short printable walking route from the nearest stop. If you have hearing or communication needs, tell reception beforehand and the team will prepare visual arrival directions and a quick check-in to minimise time spent in unfamiliar surroundings.

Walking and cycling routes to Hearing First Ashford

Walking from Ashford town centre takes about twenty to thirty minutes depending on your stride, the path follows signed pavements and crosses only a couple of busy junctions with pedestrian crossings. The pleasant route via Orchard Road leads straight into the Creative Quarter, mostly level and passing helpful green landmarks. Wear sensible shoes in winter when surfaces can be slippery, and allow extra time if you prefer a gentle pace rather than a brisk walk.

Cyclists will find secure bike racks near the entrance and marked cycle routes connecting residential areas and the town centre to the clinic. If you cycle, bring a good lock and lights, especially in winter when daylight is short. For longer rides, nearby National Cycle Network routes link to quieter lanes and the North Downs, making for an enjoyable active commute to your audiology appointment, just remember your helmet and hi vis gear.

Safe, Comfortable Ear Wax Removal With An Audiologist In Your Local Area

Your ears and hearing are fragile, so handing care over to someone competent is not optional. Some places farm earwax removal out to untrained staff, which is exactly why you should insist on an audiologist for microsuction and safe treatment.

At our clinic, only qualified audiologists perform earwax removal, combining knowledge of ear anatomy with clinical skill to reduce risk and deliver effective treatment. Leaving your hearing to chance is not advised, so trust trained specialists who provide careful, tailored aftercare and follow recognised infection control standards.

Accessibility, clinic facilities and what to expect inside

Clinic layout and patient facilities

Inside you will find a welcoming reception, a comfortable waiting area with spaced seating, and treatment rooms equipped for audiology procedures such as microsuction and manual instrument earwax removal. All clinical work is carried out by qualified audiologists who hold professional indemnity and follow infection control standards. Accessible toilets are available, and if you need a private area to wait or prepare, tell reception and they will arrange a quiet space.

Support for patients with mobility or sensory needs

The clinic has level access from the nearest car park and a ramped entrance where required, so if you use a mobility aid call ahead and staff will reserve the nearest accessible bay and make arrival smoother. For visually impaired patients we can provide larger print letters or an email with clear step by step walking directions from the car park to the treatment room. If you need specific communication support, such as a British Sign Language interpreter, book at least 48 hours before your appointment so we can arrange appropriate assistance.

Arrival checklist, what to bring and final travel tips

Before leaving home, check your booking confirmation for time and clinic address; bring any GP referral letters or previous audiology notes if you have them. If you wear hearing aids bring them but be ready to remove them for otoscopy and earwax removal. A friend or carer may accompany you, and if driving allow extra time to park and walk to reception during busy academy periods. Aim to arrive five to ten minutes early to complete paperwork and let the audiologist review your history.

• If you use regular medication, bring a list or the medication, as some ear conditions can be affected by other health issues and clinicians may need this information for safe treatment and aftercare advice.
• Bring photo identification and your booking confirmation, this speeds up check-in and helps match records accurately, especially for repeat visits or follow up appointments.
• Plan your return travel, particularly if you intend to use public transport after a procedure that leaves your ear sensitive, consider having someone accompany you or book a short taxi if you feel unsure about noisy environments.
• If you have children or pets with you, arrange supervision elsewhere where possible, treatment areas need a calm environment for safety and concentration, reception can advise on local options for short term arrangements.
• Wear loose hair or head coverings that can be easily moved for examination, tight headwear slows the initial assessment and complicates positioning during microsuction, keeping things simple helps appointments run on time.
