Nottingham Ear Clinic

Nottingham Ear Clinic: doctor-led private ear care

Nottingham Ear Clinic is a private ear clinic located in Stapleford, Nottingham, serving patients from Nottingham, Derby and surrounding areas. Its work focuses on microsuction ear wax removal, private ENT (ear, nose and throat) consultations and ear care. The clinic is CQC-regulated and its consultations and treatments are carried out by GMC-registered doctors with specialist ENT training.

Services and published fees

All services include a medical consultation prior to treatment with one of the doctors with specialist ENT training. The website catalogue shows the following services and prices:

• Private ENT Consultation: £95, for ear pain, discharge, tinnitus, dizziness, hearing changes or when it is unclear what is wrong.
• Microsuction Wax Removal: £110, for blocked ears or reduced hearing where wax is likely and removal is clinically appropriate.
• Foreign Body Removal: £149, for objects stuck in the ear canal, such as ear plugs, cotton buds, hearing-aid parts or other foreign bodies.
• Treatment of Ear Infection: £179, for painful, itchy, inflamed or discharging ears needing doctor-led assessment and treatment.
• Routine Ear Health Check: £35, for patients with no symptoms who want a simple doctor-led ear check or guidance about hearing assessment and hearing aids.

Prices are shown before booking and a small deposit may be requested to secure the appointment. If symptoms overlap or you are unsure which appointment to choose, the clinic recommends booking the closest option; the doctor examines the ears first and confirms the most appropriate care. If safe and appropriate, treatment can be carried out in the same visit, paying only the difference.

Ear care plans for recurrent wax build-up

The clinic offers ear care plans for patients who need planned microsuction throughout the year. They include clinical ear assessment at every visit, Earol product and priority booking on selected plans. Plans start from £199 per year and include between two and four microsuction visits per year, with doctor-led care.

Ear conditions we can help with

The centre addresses a wide range of ear conditions: wax build-up and blocked ear sensation, dizziness or vertigo, discharge, infections, pain, Eustachian tube dysfunction, hearing loss, itching, middle ear conditions and tinnitus. When symptoms are not caused by wax, the appointment becomes a private ENT consultation so the doctor can assess other possible causes, such as infection, inflammation, Eustachian tube dysfunction, middle ear problems, tinnitus or hearing changes, with treatment, follow-up advice, reviews or referral where appropriate.

How appointments work

Booking can be made online or by phone. The clinic offers same-day and weekend appointment options subject to availability, and patients can attend without a GP referral. The usual process is to book, attend the consultation with a doctor with ENT training, receive treatment and obtain clear aftercare instructions. The clinic also indicates that home visits may be available for patients who cannot travel, after a telephone consultation.

Equipment and clinical supervision

ENT-grade digital microscopes are used for microsuction and examination, allowing the clinician to clearly assess the ear canal and apply precise treatment when appropriate. The clinic shows patients images and videos of the inside of the ear. When necessary, there is access to ENT consultant review or specialist oversight. Ear care can be complemented by qualified audiology professionals for hearing assessment or hearing aid support.

Nottingham Ear Clinic presents itself as a CQC-regulated clinic, with GMC-registered doctors who are fully qualified, and adherence to strict clinical governance and quality standards. The website also mentions its affiliation with the British Society of Audiology.
