Visitor snapshot: what to expect on the day

On your appointment day, tap the mobile check-in link sent by SMS or email to tell us you are on your way, this notifies the clinician and helps manage patient flow. If you bring someone aged 12 to 17 for under‑18 microsuction, a parent or guardian must stay with the child for the whole appointment. For impartial hearing aid consultations, please allow an extra 20 to 30 minutes so the audiologist can explore lifestyle needs and suitable rechargeable or iPhone-compatible devices. Payment is accepted by card on arrival or online when booking, and concession rates may apply; always confirm the time slot and fee shown at booking before you commit. The clinic is a short walk from Surbiton rail station and has free on-street parking nearby, making it easily accessible for local patients and visitors from neighbouring areas.

Before you arrive: preparing for microsuction or a hearing assessment

Key documents and information to bring with you

Bring a valid form of identification, a list of current medications, and any history of ear surgery or long-term ear conditions. If you can supply recent audiology reports or hearing aid manuals, either bring them or email them ahead of the appointment; these records help the registered audiologist plan the safest removal method. Appointment times vary, usually 15 to 30 minutes for cerumen removal alone, and up to 45 minutes if combined with a hearing test, so allow adequate travel and parking time. Tell us about any accessibility requirements when you book, as we can support mobility needs and provide quiet waiting areas for those with sensory sensitivities.

Consent and attendance for under‑18s

For patients aged 12 to 17, a parent or guardian must attend and give consent in person, this is for safeguarding and clinical safety. The audiologist will take a brief history, confirm consent, and adapt explanations and aftercare advice to the young person’s level of understanding. Please make sure the accompanying adult remains on site for the duration of the appointment to assist with immediate aftercare or any onward referral if necessary.

Pre-appointment checklist

• If you have a perforated eardrum or recent ear surgery, inform the clinic when booking so the audiologist can prepare suitable equipment and infection control measures.
• List current medicines, particularly anticoagulants or topical ear treatments, as these can influence the selected ear wax removal technique and associated safety precautions.
• Carry a photo ID and NHS or private insurance details if applicable, this allows us to verify identity and complete administration quickly on arrival at the Kingston clinic.
• Bring your glasses or hearing aids if you normally use them, so the audiologist can assess real-world communication needs when offering impartial hearing aid advice or fitting options.
• Do not use cotton buds or ear candles for 48 hours before your visit, as these can push cerumen deeper and make microsuction or manual removal more difficult.

Practical tip

Arrive five to ten minutes early and use the mobile check-in link to register your arrival, this cuts time at reception and keeps the clinic running smoothly for everyone.

Safe, comfortable ear wax removal by an Audiologist near you

The structures of the ear are sensitive, and care should be given by trained professionals. Some operators delegate ear wax removal to non-clinical staff treating it as routine. We maintain that the procedure must be carried out by a qualified Audiologist.

Only qualified Audiologists perform ear wax removal at our clinic, ensuring your ears are examined and treated by specialists with detailed knowledge of ear anatomy and physiology. This reduces the risk of harm and provides a safe, effective procedure tailored to your circumstances. Your hearing deserves specialist attention, and we are committed to delivering excellent, evidence-based care.

Mobile check-in, step by step

Using the mobile link when you arrive at the clinic

The mobile check-in is designed to be quick and simple, reducing time in the waiting area and supporting infection control. Shortly before your appointment you will receive a text or email with a secure mobile check-in link. Tap the link when you are on your way or have reached the clinic, then confirm your name, any companion, and whether you have completed the pre-appointment questions. The system alerts the audiologist immediately so they can prepare the room and instruments for microsuction or a hearing test, and triage any urgent concerns without you needing to queue at reception.

1. Open the appointment SMS or email on the device you will use for check-in, tap the unique link provided, and verify the appointment time and your name to register your arrival with the team.
2. If you are running late, indicate your estimated arrival time in the check-in portal so the clinic can advise whether to wait or reschedule, avoiding unnecessary travel and reducing delays for other patients.
3. When the audiologist or receptionist marks you as ready, follow the on-screen instruction to go to the waiting area specified at Therapy Spaces; this coordinates patient flow and helps keep the clinic on time.
4. If you need to update clinical details, use the short questionnaire in the check-in portal to record medications, recent ear symptoms, or previous surgeries; this ensures the audiologist selects the safest removal method.
5. After treatment, you may receive a short digital aftercare sheet and appointment summary via the same portal, which you can save or forward to your GP if necessary.

If you prefer not to use the mobile link, please phone reception when you arrive and the team will complete check-in for you. Mobile check-in is optional, but many patients find it speeds the process and reduces time spent in shared spaces.

How to book an appointment: online, by phone and walk-ins

Straightforward online booking

Booking online is usually the fastest route: go to the Kingston booking page, select microsuction ear wax removal, a standard hearing assessment, or an impartial hearing aid consultation, then pick a convenient date and time. The booking tool displays current prices and concession rates, accepts card payment, and sends an automated confirmation with the mobile check-in link. You can upload documents such as previous audiograms or allergy information during booking, which helps the registered audiologist prepare and reduces paperwork on the day. The system also notes if the appointment involves under‑18 microsuction so the correct consent process is applied at check-in.

• Walk-in appointments are not guaranteed but may be available on quieter days; phone ahead if you are travelling from outside KT6 to confirm availability and avoid an unnecessary journey.
• If you prefer to book by telephone, call the Kingston number and our reception will recommend the most suitable slot for microsuction or a combined hearing test, taking any mobility or communication needs into account.
• For urgent blocked ear symptoms, request a same-day or next-day triage appointment: the audiologist will assess risk and, if appropriate, perform immediate microsuction rather than leaving you in pain or with reduced hearing overnight.
• When arranging a hearing aid appointment note that our team are independent and not part-owned by manufacturers, so you will receive impartial advice about rechargeable, bluetooth-capable and compatible devices without sales pressure.
• To change or cancel, use the online portal or call us, this allows another patient to use your slot and helps you avoid possible late cancellation fees.

Always review the confirmation email for the clinic address, parking guidance, and any specific pre-appointment instructions such as avoiding ear drops unless advised by a clinician; these details help the appointment proceed smoothly.

What to expect during your appointment

Clinical stages performed by a registered audiologist

On entering the treatment room, a registered audiologist will take a brief clinical history, inspect the ear canal using magnified otoscopy, and determine whether microsuction or manual instruments are the safest option for your ear. Microsuction applies gentle suction under direct visualisation to remove cerumen and debris, reducing contact with the ear canal skin, whereas manual instruments may be better suited to certain impaction types. If a hearing test is required, the audiologist will explain the process and perform otoscopy first to confirm the ear is safe for audiometry. Appointments are run calmly with patient comfort in mind; you can request explanations at any time and ask for the procedure to be paused if you have any discomfort.

Aftercare, safety and onward care

Following removal we provide written aftercare guidance and observe for any immediate reactions such as dizziness; most patients notice relief from blocked-ear sensations and experience no complications. If infection, perforation or unexpected pathology is found, the audiologist will discuss onward referral options, which may include ENT specialists or a routine hearing assessment. We record findings and, where appropriate, arrange follow-up to reassess the ear and hearing thresholds. The clinician will also explain how to reduce future cerumen build-up, whether routine maintenance appointments are recommended, and any considerations for hearing aid users.

Your safety is our priority: the clinic follows current clinical guidance for cerumen management, uses single-use or sterilised instruments, and maintains infection control standards so you leave with clear instructions and confidence in your care.
