Salford hearing tests and ear care

A wax removal appointment uses microsuction or syringing to clear a blocked ear, while a hearing aid fitting involves choosing a style that suits your daily routine.

How to choose where to go

Pick the town closest to your home. Travel matters less than finding a clinic that offers the specific service you need. A hearing test, wax removal and hearing aid fitting are different appointments, so check which one applies to you before you enquire.

If you are unsure whether you need a test, look for signs like turning the television up louder than others prefer, struggling to follow conversations in busy pubs or noticing a ringing sound in your ears. Any of these reasons is enough to ask about an appointment. The person who takes your enquiry will note your symptoms and confirm which service fits. You do not need a referral from a GP to ask about a hearing test or wax removal.
