“Where excellence is not a euphemism for profit”
Ear Clinic was funded as part of a charitable partnership and opened its doors to the public in 2018, as medical centres withdrew their earwax removal services. Ear Clinic aims to add capacity for local people to obtain an appointment for earwax removal and, in doing so, improve the value of private appointments for patients.
Improved value for local people at Ear Clinic Lymington is defined as:
1. Patients who attend without the need for treatment are not charged. No consultation takes place.
2. Investment in the highest standards of clinic environment with modern ENT specific equipment.
3. NHS trained Registered Nursing staff with extended practice training.
4. Low-profit service model (£49 for both ears).
5. Longer appointment times (30 minutes).
6. Price concessions for specific groups. Select a link in the Learn More section below.
7. Out of hours appointments for 9 – 5 workers.
8. Service reminders electronically or post, provided without charge.

Description
Removal of excessive earwax typically requires microsuction. The adult price is based on the appointment time of 30 minutes, whether one or both ears are treated. We allow plenty of time to provide a first-class service and outcome for patients, however, where the removal of excessive earwax is problematic, more than one appointment may be required.
Patients attending Ear Clinic for this appointment will be shown live images of their ear and have the opportunity to discuss their treatment and view further images taken following treatment. This ensures all patients have the following outcomes:
Ear Clinic is committed to improving outcomes for patients by ensuring they understand that looking after their ears and, therefore maintaining a good standard of hearing, is essential.
Patients have the option to agree a timescale for routine appointment reminders and attend Ear Clinic as agreed. The reminders service is provided without charge. Should a patient attend Ear Clinic and not require treatment for excessive earwax, they will not be charged and, their scheduled reminder altered to reflect their individual needs.
