What you'll see on each clinic profile

This isn't a vetted directory in the sense that we vouch for any individual clinician's clinical performance. We can't, and we don't claim to. What we do is show you the same factual checks you could make yourself if you knew which registers to look at and which questions to ask.

Free for patients. Direct line to the clinic.

There is no patient sign-up, no account to create and no charge for using the directory. The freephone number on every profile is a tracked line we assign to each clinic location, but it routes the call straight to the practitioner. You speak to them, not to us. Clinics pay a listing fee to appear on the map; patients pay nothing to find them.

How a call through the directory works

Search for a clinic in your area

Use the map above. Enter your postcode or town, or zoom into your region. Pins within a sensible distance appear.

Read the practitioner's profile

Tap any pin to see the practitioner's credentials, the methods offered at that location, the price range, and the freephone number for that clinic.

Call the freephone number on the profile

The number routes directly to the practitioner or their reception. We don't book appointments on their behalf and we don't take a commission on the call.

UK coverage

The directory currently lists earwax removal clinics across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Search density is highest around the largest population centres - London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Newcastle, Nottingham, Leicester, Cambridge and Brighton - but smaller towns and rural areas are well represented too. If the closest pin to your postcode is further than you'd like, zoom out to see whether a clinic nearby covers your area, or check whether a listed practitioner offers home visits on their profile.

The clinics on the map are independent businesses. Most are local single-site practices; some are multi-site groups with their own clinical teams. The directory does not list pharmacy multiples, supermarket optician chains or national hearing aid chains, although individual practitioners qualified at those companies may operate as independent clinics under their own name.

Frequently asked questions about finding a clinic

How do I find an earwax removal clinic in my area?

Enter your full postcode in the search box above the map, or zoom into your region. Every green pin on the map is a registered earwax removal clinic. Tap a pin to see the practitioner's qualifications, the methods they offer, indicative pricing, and the freephone number that connects you directly to the clinic. The directory covers the whole of the United Kingdom.

Is the directory free to use?

Yes. There is no patient sign-up, no account to create and no charge to search the map or call any clinic listed on it. Clinics pay a listing fee to appear on the directory. Patients pay nothing to find them. We don't sell patient data and we don't add tracking pixels to the site.

Are the clinics on this directory verified?

Every clinic that registers on the directory has to declare its practitioner's qualifications, registering body, professional indemnity status and the methods offered. We check that the registration details match the relevant UK register, where one exists. We do not assess clinical performance and we do not vouch for any individual practitioner's standard of work. The credentials shown on each profile are factual and can be checked by you on the relevant register before you book.

Is the call I make through this directory going to the clinic, or to you?

To the clinic. The number on each profile is a tracked freephone line we assign to that location, but it routes the call directly to the practitioner or their reception. You speak to them, not to us. The tracking confirms which enquiries came through the directory, which lets us measure how much business the platform sends to each listed clinic.

What if there's no clinic in my immediate area?

Zoom out on the map to see clinics in neighbouring towns or postcode districts. Several practitioners on the directory offer home visits for an additional fee - their profile will note this. If you're in a remote rural area, your nearest clinic might be further than you'd ideally travel; in that case it's worth checking with your local NHS service or pharmacy first to see whether they offer any earwax management options for your situation.

Can I book an appointment through this website?

No. The directory connects you to the clinic by phone. We don't take bookings, hold a diary, or act as an agent for any practitioner listed on the site. When you call the freephone number on a clinic's profile, you are talking to that clinic directly to arrange your appointment, ask about availability, or confirm any other details.
