Clears Healthcare

Ear wax removal and hearing care across the North West

Clears Healthcare is a hearing health provider working from a network of clinics and mobile services in the North West of England. Its activity centres on ear wax removal, ear checks and hearing tests, alongside the supply and fitting of hearing aids. The company presents same-day appointments and home visits as part of its service model, and describes its team as HCPC-registered audiologists.

Ear checks, wax removal and hearing tests

The clinical offer is organised around three services. The first is a one-to-one consultation intended to analyse symptoms and, where necessary, propose a solution. The second is an ear check, described as a comprehensive evaluation of the ear to assess and diagnose potential issues or conditions. The third is ear wax removal, aimed at preventing the long-term damage and pain associated with wax build-up.

For wax removal appointments, the company recommends using olive oil beforehand and warns against cotton swabs or other objects, which it says can push wax deeper into the canal and risk damaging the eardrum. It advises people with symptoms of excessive wax to seek guidance from a healthcare professional.

Hearing aids and the trial pathway

Clears Healthcare outlines a three-step route to improved hearing: booking a free hearing test at a convenient location, choosing a hearing aid with a free 30-day trial, and receiving lifetime aftercare on all hearing aids supplied. The company states that it works with market-leading manufacturers and lists three product tiers in its catalogue: Essential at £1,500, Premium at £2,500 and Premium + at £3,500. Named models shown include Phonak Lumity 90, Oticon Intent and Genesis A.I.

The site also advertises promotional offers at the time of writing: £10 off ear wax removal for customers who return for a 12-month check-up, and £500 off premium hearing aids priced between £1,500 and £4,000.

Clinics and mobile cover

Ear checks and ear wax removal are offered either at home or in clinic, and the company states that its clinics and mobile services operate throughout the North West. The locations named on the site are Fleetwood, Oldham, Manchester, Preston, Silverdale, Windermere, Kendal, Blackpool and Bolton.

Community screening work

Under a hearing awareness campaign, Clears Healthcare reports having carried out more than 1,000 ear screenings and over 300 audiology services, including ear wax removal and hearing tests, in collaboration with Euro Garages. The company says it intends to extend this work with other organisations.

How the service is presented

In its own description of what distinguishes the service, the company cites HCPC-registered audiologists, a complete range of hearing solutions from aids to tests, personalised care, advanced equipment, same-day appointments and home visits. These are the provider's own claims rather than independently verified statements.
