Looking for fast, safe and effective ear irrigation in Manchester? At Clear Ear Clinic, we offer a modern alternative to traditional ear syringing, using a gentle, constant flow of warm water to remove excess ear wax.

Unlike old-fashioned syringes that rely on sudden bursts of pressure, ear irrigation is safer and reduces the risk of eardrum damage or infection.

All treatments are performed by our experienced NHS-trained clinicians, ensuring your care is comfortable, effective and professional.

We also provide same-day ear irrigation appointments in Manchester, giving you quick relief from blocked ears, discomfort and hearing loss without long waiting times.

Why Ear Irrigation is Better than Traditional Syringing

  • Constant, controlled water flow – minimises pressure changes and reduces the risk of trauma compared to syringes

  • More precise and comfortable – patients typically find irrigation more tolerable than syringe methods

  • Lower complication rates – syringing is linked with higher chances of eardrum perforation or infection, which is why many NHS practices now recommend irrigation instead

  • Efficient wax clearance – irrigation effectively removes softened wax in just a few minutes

By choosing irrigation, you benefit from a modern, clinically approved approach that prioritises safety, comfort, and results

Why Choose Ear Irrigation?

Ear irrigation is a safe, modern method of ear wax removal that uses a gentle stream of warm, electronically controlled water pulse to flush out ear wax.

Unlike old-school syringing, which was less precise, irrigation is safe, smoother and clinically recommended.

This treatment works well for:

  • Soft or sticky wax (often from over the counter drops like Otex or bicarbonate)

  • Patients who don’t tolerate suction

  • Those who want a fast, pain-free solution

Why Choose Ear Irrigation?

• Quick & effective treatment takes just a few minutes

• Gentle on the ear canal with controlled water flow

• Pain-free most patients only feel a light “tickling” sensation

• Safer than syringing less risk of pressure damage

At Clear Ear Clinic, we only use clinically-approved irrigation devices (no old syringes here).

AFTERCARE:

Post-Irrigation Tips for Happy Ears

Aftercare: Protecting Your Ears Post-Irrigation
Following your water irrigation treatment, it’s important to keep your ears dry for the next 3–5 days. This gives your ear canal time to restore its natural protective oils and reduces the risk of infection.

  • Use cotton wool with Vaseline or ear protectors while showering

  • Avoid swimming or submerging your head in water for a few days

  • If your ears feel sensitive, a few drops of olive oil can help keep them comfortable

By following these simple steps, you’ll protect your results and keep your ears healthy long after your appointment.

£50 flat fee (both ears). Same-day appointments often available.
