Simple pricing
Pay for what you need
One booking covers one ear or both. You pay a £35 assessment fee when you book, then the rest in clinic. If there is no wax to remove, there is nothing more to pay.

Why microsuction
A gentle, dry way to clear blocked ears
No water
Nothing is squirted into your ear. A fine suction tube lifts the wax out instead.
In clear view
Your clinician uses magnifying glasses with a light, so every step is done with a clear view of your ear.
No weeks of drops
You do not usually need to use oil drops first, so you can be seen sooner.

As per earlier visits, Tim Needham was his usual helpful and informative self. He took care to explain what he had observed on his initial inspection of my ear canals and followed on with full advice as to what his treatment entailed as he went along.
Truly excellent care and service.

Really pleased with the service and treatment I received from Peninsula Ear Care. Both my ears were blocked and the issue had become bothersome and was getting me down.
I was able to book an appointment easily online and by emailing the team, I was seen more quickly by Tim. I was happy that both ears were sorted out within 20 minutes.
Thanks again Tim, I am relieved that I am not putting up with blocked ears anymore 🤩

Went to clinic and met Tim a few days ago. I was having problem with one ear. Tim made me feel very comfortable from the off, very friendly.
Ended up having both ears done as both were blocked, slightly uncomfortable but not painful. One ear slightly sore but hoping it will settle. Definitely recommend Tim’s services.

Had a problem with one ear, contacted Peninsula about 9-15am and had an appointment for midday, attended and was extremely impressed with the professional explanation given of the procedure to be undertaken to remove the hard wax from my ear. A painless process and a very reasonable price for the service. Highly recommend Peninsula.
