Ear wax removal training for audiologists
Wax is the most common obstacle in hearing care: it blocks assessments, mutes hearing aids and frustrates patients. One day of CPD-accredited training brings removal in-house, so hearing appointments stop stalling on a referral.
Why hearing-care professionals train with wax.
The natural missing piece
Audiologists and dispensers already examine ears daily. Structured training in microsuction, warm-water irrigation and manual instrumentation completes the care you can offer under one roof.
Formalise what you already know
Experienced clinicians use the course to turn day-to-day ear knowledge into a structured, documented approach to assessment, technique selection and safe treatment.
A service in its own right
Beyond supporting hearing tests and fittings, wax removal stands alone: dispensers and audiologists run dedicated ear-care clinic days and independent weekend clinics.
What the training day covers
Examination first
Otoscopy, ear anatomy, recognising normal and abnormal presentations, and the contraindications that mean treatment should not go ahead.
All three removal methods
Supervised hands-on practice in microsuction, warm-water irrigation and manual instrumentation - and how to select the right technique for each ear rather than treating every case the same way.
Safe clinical judgement
Infection control, red flags, knowing when not to treat, and when a patient needs onward referral to another healthcare professional.
After the course
Certification, equipment guidance and the practical setup that turns the qualification into a working service.
How hearing-care professionals run the service
Inside the hearing clinic
Add bookable wax removal appointments to an existing hearing clinic so assessments, fittings and follow-ups are never blocked by an occluded ear.
Dedicated ear-care days
Run a weekly or monthly ear-care clinic day focused on removal and general ear health, alongside existing audiology work.
Independent weekend clinics
Rent a treatment room and build a personal ear-care brand with Saturday clinics, growing the diary before changing anything about the day job.
Train with NHS-trained clinicians
One day, CPD-accredited, hands-on with all three removal methods - and support with the service setup afterwards.
A CPD-accredited provider, aligned with BSA, NICE and HCPC standards. Every course is taught by NHS-trained ear care clinicians and certified for professional development.
