Audiologist-led safety and clinical standards you can trust

Who provides your care

All ear and hearing services at Mill Hill are delivered by qualified audiologists trained in ear anatomy, safe microsuction and clinical decision-making. That clinician-led approach reduces risk compared with non-clinical providers, because audiologists can spot contraindications, perform video otoscopy inspections and adjust treatment when ear anatomy or co-morbidity calls for caution. Patients are triaged before appointments to clarify medical history and any red flags, so clinicians arrive prepared to provide personalised care.

Infection control, equipment and record keeping

We adhere to strict infection control practices, use single-use components where required, and keep logs of equipment maintenance and calibration to meet professional standards. Each procedure is recorded in a clinical note that documents observations, the method used, and any aftercare advice. When additional investigation is needed, we supply clear referral letters for GPs or ENT specialists to support continuity of care.

Patient tip

Bring a short list of medications and any recent ENT correspondence to your appointment, as this helps the audiologist tailor the consultation and avoids missing important clinical details.

Further details

If you take anticoagulants or have a history of ear surgery, please tell reception when booking so we can schedule the right appointment length and take appropriate precautions.

Safe, comfortable ear wax removal with an audiologist near you

Your ears are delicate, and they deserve specialist care. Some services hand ear wax removal to non-clinical staff and treat it as routine, but we believe it should be performed by a trained Audiologist with a thorough understanding of ear anatomy and physiology.

At our Mill Hill clinic, only qualified Audiologists carry out ear wax removal, which lowers the risk of harm and delivers safer, more effective outcomes tailored to your needs. Your hearing is too important to leave to chance, and we are focused on delivering the highest standard of clinical care.

Hearing assessment, and impartial hearing aid advice

Comprehensive testing, and vendor-neutral recommendations

We offer full diagnostic hearing assessments that measure thresholds across frequencies, speech discrimination, and, where suitable, tympanometry to evaluate middle ear function. Results are explained in plain language, focusing on practical implications for communication and safety rather than sales. Because Hearing First Mill Hill is independently owned and not part of a hearing aid manufacturer, our device advice is impartial. We cover hearing aid styles, Bluetooth and iPhone compatibility, rechargeable options, and features such as directional microphones or telecoil, matching technology to your everyday needs.

• Connectivity advice to help with Bluetooth pairing, media streaming and hands-free calling, tailored to your smartphone and listening situations to improve satisfaction.
• Pure tone audiometry and speech testing, which together clarify the degree and type of hearing loss and support a personalised discussion about communication strategies and device options.
• Trial periods and transparent pricing for hearing aids, plus routine aftercare and clinic-based repairs or adjustments, so decisions are informed and pressure-free.
• Real ear measurement and bespoke fittings for hearing aids, ensuring amplification meets evidence-based targets for audibility, comfort and speech clarity in everyday settings.
• Tinnitus assessment and management advice, including counselling options and sound enrichment, with signposting to local support groups where helpful for ongoing care.

Pricing, booking and guarantees

Transparent costs, and factors that affect them

Our fees are published and straightforward, with ear wax removal starting from £34 for simple cases. The final price depends on whether one or both ears need treatment, if microsuction or manual instrumentation is required, appointment timing (peak or off-peak) and any diagnostic tests performed on the day. We will confirm the cost when you book, and if the clinical need changes during your appointment we will discuss any extra charges before proceeding. We accept card and online payments, and we provide receipts for insurance or employer reimbursement where needed.

Booking steps, and cancellations

1. Our Waxfree Guarantee applies to eligible ear wax removal appointments and is explained when booking; if a further clinic visit is clinically required due to residual wax, we set out the terms clearly.
2. Book online or by telephone, providing a short medical history so we can triage safely and reserve the correct appointment length for microsuction, manual removal or a combined assessment.
3. Cancellations notified within the stated window avoid fees, and we will rebook you where availability allows to fit busy family schedules.
4. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any consent or screening forms; late arrival may reduce treatment time and could lead to rescheduling fees under our policy.
5. If an ENT referral is needed after assessment, we will explain why and provide a written summary to support onward care without unexpected charges for the initial visit.

How much does ear wax removal in Mill Hill cost?

Ear wax removal at our Mill Hill clinic starts from £34. Final pricing varies depending on whether one or both ears are treated, whether microsuction or manual removal is required, and appointment timing.

Family and paediatric care considerations

We know attending clinic with children takes planning, so we structure appointments to be calm, efficient and reassuring. Paediatric microsuction is available for 12 to 17 year olds when a parent or guardian accompanies them to give consent and stay during the procedure. Clinicians use age-appropriate language, reassurance techniques and timing that minimises school disruption. For younger children where microsuction is unsuitable, we will suggest safe alternatives, explain risks and benefits to parents, and link with paediatric ENT when specialist care is needed.

• Flexible scheduling for school-age children, with early and late slots where clinician diaries permit, to reduce missed school time.
• Child-centred communication used during clinics to lower anxiety, including simple explanations, equipment demonstrations, and stepwise consent so the young person knows what will happen.
• Clear aftercare instructions provided for parents, covering warning signs, safe ear hygiene and when to seek further advice.
• Referral pathways to paediatric ENT when anatomy, recurrent impaction or complex medical history suggests specialist input is required for longer-term management.
• Parental presence and consent required for under 18s, enabling carers to make informed choices and support aftercare.
