EARWORX · HULL & EAST YORKSHIRE
Ear Checks
An ear examination when you have concerns about wax, blocked ears or general ear health.
About this service
If you're experiencing blocked ears, reduced hearing, discomfort or suspect a build-up of earwax, a professional ear examination can help identify what may be causing the problem.
At Earworx, we examine your ears using specialist equipment, explain what we can see and advise on the most appropriate next steps.
An ear check does not automatically mean you need earwax removal. If wax is present, we'll assess whether treatment may be appropriate. If we identify something requiring further medical investigation, we'll explain our findings and recommend appropriate medical advice.
Do you need earwax removal?
An ear check can help determine whether a build-up of earwax is present and whether removal may be appropriate.
If microsuction is recommended, we'll explain how the treatment works, what it involves and the options available.
You can find further information about the procedure, preparation and charges on our Earwax Removal (Microsuction) page .
Hearing tests and hearing aids
Earworx also offers free hearing tests with our visiting audiologist on Mondays, subject to availability.
Where appropriate, our visiting audiologist can advise on hearing aids and discuss suitable options, including hearing aid provision where required.
A hearing test is different from an ear examination. An ear check looks for visible problems within the ear, while a hearing test assesses your hearing ability.
