About Us
The Ear Care Clinic team is a network of highly trained audiologists and ear microsuction specialists operating across London and Kent.
We recognised that there was a need for affordable ear cleaning services that could be accessed quickly in London and beyond, as blocked ears can have a big impact on your day-to-day life, causing discomfort, pain, and anxiety. We established our first ear cleaning clinic over 10 years ago, and haven’t looked back since.
Gold Standard Ear Cleaning Clinics
Today, the Ear Care Clinic network runs high-quality, affordable, gold standard ear cleaning clinics across London, specialising in delivering microsuction ear wax removal.
All of our ear care clinics are staffed by highly experienced clinicians, who’ve trained for many years in ear microsuction and other ear care disciplines. Every clinician joining the network has been trained at the Ear Care Academy, the leading microsuction ear wax removal training centre in the UK.
Each of our sites is CQC-registered, so you can be sure you’re in safe hands for all of your ear care and audiology needs.
