About The Ear Clinic North Wales
A small clinic that takes its time.
The Ear Clinic North Wales is a single-room clinic at Y Shed in Meliden, just outside Prestatyn. One appointment at a time, so nobody is hurried through and there is always room for questions.
Blocked ears are uncomfortable and often a bit worrying — especially if your hearing has dropped or your balance feels off. Our job is to look properly, explain plainly what we find, and sort it where we can.
If microsuction is not the right answer for you, we will say so and point you in the right direction instead.

Ear wax removal FAQs
The questions we are asked most.
Do I need to use olive oil drops first?
It is not essential, but two or three days of olive oil beforehand softens stubborn wax and usually makes the appointment quicker and more comfortable. Please do not use drops if you have a perforated eardrum, discharge or an active infection — just come as you are and tell us.
Is microsuction safe?
It is widely considered the safest method of wax removal and it is what hospital ear clinics use. No water goes into the ear, and the canal stays in clear view under magnification throughout, so we can see exactly what we are doing.
Does it hurt?
No. Most people describe it as odd rather than uncomfortable — the suction is noisy and can feel a little cool. Nothing happens without warning, and we stop the moment you ask.
How long does it take?
Half an hour is booked for you, and that includes the checks and the photos. Straightforward wax is often quicker. Very hard, long-standing wax occasionally needs a short second visit after a few days of oil — we will tell you honestly if that is the case.
What if there is no wax there?
It happens. If there is no wax to remove, the charge is £25 only, instead of £55. That includes your hearing check, a clear explanation of what is more likely to be causing the problem, and a referral if you need one.
Can you treat a perforated eardrum or grommets?
Usually yes — because no water is used, microsuction is normally the preferred option where there is a perforation, grommets or previous ear surgery. Please mention it when you book so we know before we start.
Do you take before and after photos?
Every appointment, both ears. It is the clearest way to show you what was there, what has changed and that the eardrum underneath looks healthy.
How often should I have it done?
Only when you need it. Some people who make wax quickly, or who wear hearing aids or ear plugs, come every six months or so. Many go a year or more. Plenty never need us twice — we would rather tell you that than book you in again.
Do I need a referral from my GP?
No. Book directly online, or call or WhatsApp us on 01745 299942 if you would rather talk it through first.
Do you treat children?
No. We only see adults aged 18 and over.
