Professional earwax removal at home
If the sudden onset of muffled hearing or a blocked sensation is causing you distress, we bring our specialist earwax removal service directly to your living room in Stevenage.
How our Stevenage home visits work:
- Arranging Your Appointment Simply call our friendly reception team to book a convenient time. A registered ear care practitioner will then travel to your Stevenage address, bringing all the required clinical equipment with them.
- Comprehensive Assessment We believe in taking our time. Before any procedure, we carefully listen to your concerns and examine your ear canals with a medical grade microscope to determine if wax removal is necessary.

- Post Treatment Advice Most appointments are completed within 20 to 45 minutes. Once the wax is safely removed, we perform a final health check on your ears and leave you with clear, helpful aftercare instructions.

Audiology clinic near Stevenage
Whether you are heading over from the historic Old Town or the modern retail parks around the Roaring Meg, visiting our independent clinic is wonderfully straightforward. We are just a simple drive down the A602, and there are direct, regular bus routes connecting Stevenage to our local area.

Hearing Tests
Regular evaluations are the foundation of excellent hearing health. We use the latest diagnostic technology to deeply examine your auditory system. We will never rush your appointment. Instead, we allow plenty of time to discuss your results clearly, understand the environments where you struggle to hear, and explore the best possible steps to improve your hearing. We offer two options:

- 90-Minute Full Hearing Assessment: A comprehensive consultation using advanced technology like video otoscopy to thoroughly map your hearing.
Ear Wax Removal
Impacted wax can cause a frustrating blocked sensation and reduced hearing. Our in clinic microsuction service provides a fast, clean, and incredibly effective solution. Using high specification microscopes and gentle, low pressure suction, our registered professionals safely lift away stubborn blockages. This completely replaces outdated water syringing methods and regularly provides our clients with immediate relief and restored clarity.
Children’s Ear Wax Removal
Dealing with blocked ears can be an upsetting experience for younger patients. Our gentle, highly experienced audiologists are specially trained to treat children aged five and above. Using dedicated paediatric equipment and a wonderfully patient, reassuring approach, we carefully remove the wax. We take the time to ensure your child feels completely relaxed, making the entire appointment stress free.
Hearing Aids
Protecting your ears from loud environments is vital to preventing long term damage. We supply custom moulded hearing protection for musicians, motorcyclists, industrial workers, or anyone simply needing an undisturbed night’s sleep. By taking accurate impressions of your ear canals, we produce bespoke earplugs that offer an incredibly comfortable fit and outstanding acoustic defence.

Travelling to us from Stevenage is incredibly simple, with highly convenient road, bus, and rail connections.
Travelling by Car
(Approx. 20-30 minutes)
Driving is a very straightforward option. Simply head south from Stevenage along the A602 and connect to the A119. In normal traffic, the drive takes around 20 to 25 minutes.
Parking could not be easier, as our clinic sits just past St Andrew Street Car Park, located exactly on the opposite side of the road.
- Take the A602 south towards Hertford
- At Watton At Stone go straight and connect to the A119
- Keep going straight until you reach Hertford.
- Carry on past Hertford North and Hertford County Hospital.
- Go over the mini roundabout and North Road becomes St Andrew Street.
- Turn right into St Andrew Street Car Park.
- Our clinic is just a short walk up along St Andrew Street.
For your convenience, St Andrew Street Car Park is open 24/7 and operates as a short-stay facility (up to 5 hours) – perfect for our unrushed 90-minute assessments. It offers 103 parking spaces, including 5 dedicated blue badge bays for accessibility.
Travelling by Bus
(Approx 35 minutes)
If you prefer public transport, the 390 bus service offers a very reliable route. You can board the bus at Stevenage Bus Station or from various stops down through Broadwater. The 390 is usually the quickest and stops right outside St Andrew’s Church or the Theatre. From there it is only a 1 minute walk to the clinic.
You can also take the 907, but this is often longer as it goes through Ware first and you will have to take a longer walk through town from Hertford Bus Station.

FAQs
We provide home visits to all neighbourhoods across Stevenage and nearby villages. Whether your property is situated in Chells, Broadwater, Pin Green, or the Old Town, our specialists will happily travel directly to you.
Our Stevenage earwax removal service carries a clear, set fee of £120. This single price includes the clinician’s travel time, an in depth ear examination, and the microsuction treatment. Alternatively, if you choose to visit our nearby clinic, we provide the exact same premium procedure for a lower rate of £70.
Not at all. We simply ask that you have a comfortable place to sit and an accessible plug socket nearby so we can power our clinical tools. Our visiting audiologist will bring all the other necessary medical equipment to ensure a highly safe and hygienic procedure.
- Choose a quiet, well-lit area where you can sit comfortably (a dining chair works well).
- Ensure there is a nearby plug socket.
- Keep pets and distractions to a minimum during the appointment.
- Allow a little space for the clinician to work beside you.
That’s it – everything else is taken care of for you
Definitely. In fact, we actively encourage our clients to have a friend, partner, or family member present, especially for comprehensive hearing tests. Having a supportive, familiar voice in the room is highly beneficial, and they are always welcome whether we are treating you at home or in the clinic.
Yes. We understand that blocked ears can be upsetting for younger patients, and our clinicians are fully qualified to safely perform microsuction earwax removal for children aged five and over. Please note that to ensure the safest possible environment, all paediatric earwax removal must take place exclusively within our fully equipped clinic, rather than as a home visit. We take the time to explain the procedure clearly, ensuring the experience is as comfortable and reassuring as possible for both you and your child.
Thanks to excellent transport links, reaching our clinic is very quick. The direct train service from Stevenage station takes just 15 minutes. Alternatively, driving down the A602 generally takes about 20 to 25 minutes, and local bus routes take roughly 35 to 50 minutes.
We have largely moved away from traditional water syringing in Stevenage, choosing instead to focus on advanced microsuction ear wax removal. This safe, modern technique relies on a low-pressure medical vacuum to comfortably draw out blockages without the use of messy water.
That said, we want our Stevenage clients to feel completely supported in their choice of care. If you prefer water irrigation, or if our visiting clinician determines that your ear wax is too soft for the vacuum to clear effectively, we can still offer a gentle water-based irrigation treatment where clinically appropriate.
We are specialists entirely focused on audiology and hearing health. However, as passionate advocates for independent local businesses, if you require an optician in Stevenage, we strongly suggest visiting Christopher’s Opticians or Opticians Forum. Just like our practice, they deliver a highly tailored, independent standard of care that you simply cannot find at the large corporate chains.
