Many people in North West London are finding that their local GP surgery no longer offers ear syringing. No doubt this is partly due to a lack of funding, but also because ear syringing is inherently less safe than ear micro suction. Possible side effects of ear syringing or irrigation are ear infection, hearing loss, tinnitus, perforation of the ear drum, and further impaction of the ear wax (i.e. the ear wax gets pushed even harder against the ear drum). Is it any wonder that people are going off walk in ear syringing in London and are seeking out microsuction ear wax removal instead? Unfortunately, the sharp rise in demand has meant that NHS micro suction clinics are now unable to meet the need and waiting times are often over two to three months.
You no longer need to wait months for micro suction. Why not save time by going private? It’s not as expensive as you think. Simply head to our booking page and you could be saying goodbye to your wax blockage this week!

The Phantom Bus of Hale Lane Locals have whispered for decades about a ghost bus seen late at night along Hale Lane. Described as an old red Routemaster, it allegedly appears with no lights, no passengers, and no driver — gliding silently past confused pedestrians. Some say it vanishes just before reaching the bend near the cemetery. Others claim to have seen it pull up at a bus stop, only for the doors to never open. A few old-timers swear it’s the spectral echo of a bus from the 1950s that crashed during a foggy night… though no records of such an accident seem to exist. Perfectly eerie.
