If you suffer from hearing loss, earache or blocked ears, it could be wax. This problem affects people from all age groups and all walks of life.
A 30-minute ear & hearing health appointment is maybe what you need. If wax is present we will gently and safely remove it with microsuction. A quick hearing test is included if required.

It’s quick, painless & safer than other wax removal methods such as irrigation. The technology uses a fine low pressure suction device, just like a gentle vacuum to safely remove the wax & alleviate pain & discomfort.

As a result, wait times can be several weeks or even months before patients receive an appointment. This can have a significant impact on your health & well-being.

Use of the award-winning Tympa Health system allows South Downs Ear Care to perform digital otoscopy (ear examination capturing HD images & video) and provide diagnosis & treatment, within a calm & friendly environment.
At South Downs Ear Care, we begin by understanding your ear-health history and with a thorough examination of your ears, to identify whether ear wax build-up may be affecting your hearing.
Our goal is to clean your ears safely and effectively, helping you hear more clearly.
Our clinic was established in January 2023 and in addition we provided a private microsuction service at Action for Deafness (AFD) in Haywards Heath alongside Audiology, until its closure in 2025. We now continue to offer private microsuction at our Burgess Hill clinic and through home visits across Mid Sussex.

Use Earol olive oil spray twice a day, 5 days prior to your appointment. It softens the wax and makes microsuction so much easier.
We offer appointments five days a week (Mon - Fri), why wait weeks if we can see you quickly and avoid long wait times. Enquire if you need a same day or evening appointment.
It pushes your ear wax deeper into your ear. They can cause trauma to the skin cells, cause itching, can perforate your ear drum & cause serious damage. They are not environmentally friendly either.
If any infection or abnormality is detected during your appointment, we seek further advice if necessary and follow up at a later date on the outcome. A visit to your GP may not be needed.
If wax removal is unsuccessful during your first appointment due to impacted ear wax, we may suggest a second appointment. Following application of more Earol olive oil spray to further soften the wax we will then repeat the process until the wax has been removed.
Visit our clinic or we can come to you, we want to make it as easy as possible.

Come to our clinic in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, we will immediately put you at ease.

We regularly visit homes & care homes across Mid Sussex.



Posted on David BallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife has severe hearing problems, so I am writing the review for her. We have now visited Louisa 3 times. Louisa is very patient and professional in what she does, explaining the process and answering questions; nothing seems to be too much trouble for her. She provides Professionalism with a warm welcome and a sense of humour. After 2 visits I recommended to the Concierge in our retirement village that she be allowed to come here once a week in a room provided by the Village because her approach is just right for older patients who often have difficulty understanding and who are maybe apprehensive. Now she is here each week and we went for a check and then further treatment just a week ago. What more would you wish for if you have an ear wax problem!Posted on Mary ArmourTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So glad I found Louisa again after AFD closed. She was able to give me an appointment in 5 days rather than 8 weeks at Specsavers. Excellent treatment in friendly surroundings. Will be back!Posted on Peter BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Louisa was fantastic, got me in really quick and overall it was a very pleasant appointment. I have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and family. Thank you Louisa.Posted on hamish muirheadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
