Useful local information
Can Ear Clear Nurse help me in St Annes?
For St Annes and Lytham St Annes patients, this page explains the clinic location, appointment choices, prices, preparation and what happens if wax is not the cause of your symptoms.
Full or blocked feeling
A heavy, plugged or pressured sensation can sometimes be caused by wax build-up.
Ringing or buzzing
Some people notice tinnitus-like ringing or buzzing when the ear canal is blocked.
Hearing aid feedback
Whistling, poor fit or reduced hearing aid performance can sometimes be linked to wax.
After showering
Symptoms can feel worse when water softens or swells existing wax.
Not sure it is wax?
An ear health check can be a sensible first step before booking removal.

What happens if wax is not found?
You will be told what was seen during the ear check and advised on the most sensible next step. Treatment is only carried out where appropriate.

Seek medical advice first if you have sudden hearing loss, severe pain, discharge, dizziness, an ear infection concern, recent ear surgery or another urgent medical worry.
