Ear wax removal at our Norwich clinic

Sound Advice Hearing was one of the first private audiologists to offer wax removal services in the UK. Since opening doors in 2013, our Norwich hearing centre has built an excellent reputation for wax removal.

Although wax plays a vital role in protecting the ear against dirt and bacteria – and in preventing infections – it can build up, causing hearing problems, discomfort and in some cases deafness. When these issues occur, an ear wax removal procedure can help restore aural health.

At Sound Advice Hearing, we are eminently qualified when it comes to wax removal. Our managing director Paul Scigala has 25 years experience in audiology – and was one of very few audiologists trained as a Clinical Ear Care Practitioner in ear-wax removal. Paul subsequently worked as a BSHAA Clinical Ear Trainer, helping teach other audiologists – so you can rest assured that you’re in safe, skilled and experienced hands.

Even if you’re unsure whether you require an ear wax removal procedure, you can always pop into the store for some advice on wax management. Unlike many hearing centres, at Sound Advice Norwich we offer different methods of ear wax removal – including micro-suction, and endoscopic micro-suction as well as the more common irrigation.

This helps maintain customer satisfaction – as those who feel uncomfortable with water in their ears can opt for a micro-suction procedure, which many find less invasive than irrigation.

Hearing Aids

At Sound Advice Norwich, we are also proud to offer a wide range of the latest, state-of-the-art hearing aids.

Hearing aids work through an in-built microphone – which amplifies the sounds our ears naturally pick up, making them louder and therefore easier to hear for the auditory impaired.

They have a wide range of benefits – masking the effects of tinnitus, helping the wearer to locate the direction of sounds, and enabling easier hearing in loud environments. For many, hearing aids take the stress out of processes like talking on the telephone or watching TV. Simply, they help the wearer enjoy crisper, clearer hearing.

At Sound Advice Norwich, we offer programmable hearing aids – meaning the level of amplification is set specifically according to the wearer’s prescription. The technology underpinning hearing aids is always evolving – our latest models come with innovative features like sound smoothing, fall detection and even speech translation. Of course, we offer several different earphone styles to match; so rest assured you won’t have to sacrifice comfort or style to enjoy your new clear hearing.

Plus, with our free trial service you can test out your hearing aid in the places where you’ll use it – meaning you can make sure it’s right for you, before committing to any purchase.
