Hearing First Ealing: Secure a Same-Day Appointment Today

Simple, clear steps to get same-day care

Arranging a same-day appointment at Hearing First Ealing is set up to be quick and clear for anyone experiencing a blocked ear, sudden change in hearing, or ear discomfort. We understand that urgent issues matter, so our phone team and online booking prioritise same-day slots where clinically appropriate. Availability for a same-day visit depends on clinician schedules, the clinical need, and whether the appointment requires microsuction or a full hearing assessment. You will answer a few short clinical triage questions either online or by phone, so we can confirm that a same-day slot is safe and suitable. If you have signs of acute infection, dizziness, sudden hearing loss, or facial weakness, we will advise urgent medical assessment and arrange the most appropriate audiology appointment as promptly as possible.

• Step 3: Arrive prepared to discuss your ear history, bring any recent hearing test results or details of current hearing aids, so the clinician can make an informed plan during the same visit.
• Step 1: Use the booking page or call our clinic to request a same-day appointment, and give a brief clinical summary so we can triage properly and match you with an available audiologist.
• Step 5: If a hearing test is needed after wax clearance, we frequently perform a quick audiometric screen during the same appointment, saving you a return visit and providing immediate guidance about your hearing.
• Step 2: If microsuction is likely to be required, tell us about any recent ear surgery, perforation or grommet, so we can allocate the right time and equipment for your care.
• Step 4: Consent and a brief otoscopic assessment are needed before any ear wax removal; this lets the audiologist decide whether same-day microsuction or a planned follow-up is the safer option.

Safe and Comfortable Ear Wax Removal, Delivered by a Local Audiologist

Your ears and hearing deserve specialist attention, not a casual approach. Some providers let non-clinical staff perform wax removal as a routine task, but we believe it requires the training and judgement of a qualified Audiologist to protect hearing health.

At our clinic, only registered Audiologists carry out ear wax removal, bringing detailed knowledge of ear anatomy and physiology to reduce injury risk and to ensure a safe, effective procedure tailored to each person. Your hearing is important, and we are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care.

What to Bring, and How We Prepare for Same-Day Visits

Information we'll request when you book

To make your appointment efficient and safe, we gather short clinical details before you arrive. This includes any history of ear operations, recent infections, symptoms such as pain, discharge or sudden hearing loss, and whether you use hearing aids or tinnitus devices. Supplying this information helps our triage team and audiologist prepare the right equipment and set an appropriate appointment length, particularly when manual instrument work or microsuction is anticipated. Accurate details reduce delays and help ensure same-day care is effective and safe.

Essential documents and items to bring

• Bring your current hearing aids, chargers and cables, because an immediate post-procedure hearing check or device adjustment may be recommended as part of your care.
• If under 18, the patient must attend with a parent or legal guardian to provide consent and relevant medical history, ensuring safe and lawful treatment for minors.
• Photo ID and any recent audiology report or hearing test, if available, so the clinician can review baseline hearing and give tailored aftercare advice during the same visit.
• Contact details for your GP or any recent ENT correspondence, so our clinicians can liaise effectively if further referral or urgent ENT review is needed after assessment.
• Details of current medication, especially anticoagulants or ear drops, because some medicines can affect procedure safety and the audiologist may need to alter the plan.

Practical tip

Please arrive about 10 minutes before your appointment to complete a short clinical questionnaire and allow the audiologist time to review your notes, this helps keep same-day appointments running smoothly and reduces waiting for others.

Note for carers

If you are accompanying someone who needs assistance, tell the booking team so we can allow a slightly longer appointment and make sure accessible facilities are ready on arrival.

Same-Day Appointment Availability and Clinic Opening Hours

Typical availability, and how we prioritise urgent cases

Hearing First Ealing provides same-day appointments where clinician availability and clinical need allow; slots are commonly available on weekdays, especially during morning and early afternoon clinics. We operate within the Back 2 Well-Being clinic schedule in W5, and our rota includes reserved urgent slots for patients reporting sudden hearing loss, severe pain, or suspected infection. Booking online is usually the fastest option, but calling the clinic enables a brief clinical triage which can speed allocation of a same-day slot when appropriate. We aim to respond quickly while ensuring safety and suitable follow-up for more complex care.

1. Late afternoon sessions, typically from 15:30 to 17:30, are often scheduled for longer appointments such as diagnostic audiology or complex wax removal that need extra time and specialist equipment.
2. Morning urgent slots are generally available between 09:00 and 11:30, reserved for patients with acute symptoms needing early assessment and possible same-day microsuction or hearing assessment.
3. Emergency guidance: if you experience sudden unilateral hearing loss, severe vertigo, ongoing ear discharge or facial weakness, contact NHS 111 or your GP straightaway; we will then coordinate to arrange urgent audiology or ENT input as needed.
4. Weekend availability is limited and varies by calendar, so for weekend same-day care please phone the clinic in advance to check for special clinics or locum audiologist cover.
5. Midday and early afternoon appointments run between 12:30 and 15:30 and often cover routine wax removal and hearing checks, these can sometimes be converted to same-day visits when capacity allows.

Aftercare, Follow-Up and The Hearing First Waxfree Guarantee

What to expect after same-day ear wax removal

Following a same-day procedure, the audiologist will give clear aftercare instructions suited to your ear condition and the method used, whether microsuction or manual instruments. You will receive written advice about ear hygiene, warning signs of infection, and guidance on when to arrange a follow-up hearing test if needed. Our Waxfree Guarantee means we will offer a review appointment if wax re-accumulates within the defined period and the terms apply. If symptoms persist, we will arrange a prompt audiology recheck or ENT referral to protect long-term hearing and ensure continuity of care.

• How to book a recheck: call our dedicated number or use the online booking link, quote your original appointment and the audiologist will prioritise a convenient follow-up or same-day re-evaluation when clinically needed.
• Immediate aftercare: you may notice brief ear dryness or sensitivity; we recommend no cotton buds in the ear canal, and to avoid swimming or submerging the ear for the short period the clinician advises.
• Waxfree Guarantee: if you meet the guarantee terms and experience symptomatic re-blockage within the covered period, we will assess and, if clinically suitable, treat the ear without an additional fee.
• Signs to watch: contact the clinic if you get increasing pain, fever, continuing discharge, or worsening hearing, as these may signal infection and require prompt review or ENT referral.
• Follow-up hearing check: we may recommend a recheck or diagnostic audiogram within a few weeks to confirm hearing thresholds have returned to baseline after wax clearance.
