Josh Beharrell
Experienced Ear Care Practitioner
Josh is a part of our specialist Church Stretton team with advanced practice in microsuction earwax removal. With a caring, safe and professional approach to ear care, he is a patient-focused practitioner who explains the procedure clearly, puts patients at ease and performs precise, effective treatment.
What happens at your appointment
Ear examination first to confirm whether wax is present and removal is suitable
Microsuction (if appropriate) using gentle suction under direct visual guidance
Aftercare advice and next steps to take if your symptoms continue, even after treatment
If ear wax isn’t the cause of your symptoms, we’ll explain the findings from your ear health check and advise you on the most appropriate next steps. Depending on your individual needs, we may recommend seeing your GP or booking a hearing assessment with one of our audiologists.
In this situation, only the £25 Ear Health Check fee applies, so you won’t pay the full cost of an ear wax removal appointment when no treatment is needed.
Microsuction vs Ear Irrigation in Church Stretton
Why we use microsuction
Microsuction is water-free and carried out under magnification, so the clinician can remove wax with direct visual control, minimising discomfort and irritation. Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction does not requires 10 - 14 days of pre-treatment ear drops and some patients do not use drops at all, although applying for 1 -2 days before your appointment can be helpful and effective when wax is dry, hard or very compacted.
What about ear syringing / irrigation?
Irrigation uses water to flush the ear canal. It isn’t suitable for everyone, and outcomes can vary depending on the ear and the wax. At Interhearing, microsuction is the primary approach; if microsuction isn’t appropriate on the day, we’ll explain why and advise the safest alternative.

▸
What should I do if I have ear wax build-up?
If you’re suffering from ear wax build up, the best solution is to look for a ear wax removal specialist near you. If left untreated, built up ear wax can result in temporary hearing loss, tinnitus and other issues.
▸
How is ear wax removed at Interhearing Church Stretton?
We use microsuction, the safest and most effective method of earwax removal. It is a gentle, water-free technique that uses a small medical suction device under direct vision to remove wax safely and precisely.
▸
Do I need to use olive oil drops for weeks beforehand?
Usually not. Unlike traditional syringing, using olive oil drops for 1 -2 days before your treatment, particularly the night before and the morning of your appointment is enough.
▸
Do you offer ear syringing or ear irrigation?
We use microsuction as our primary method. If it’s not suitable, we’ll explain the safest alternative.
▸
How long does an ear wax removal appointment take at Interhearing Church Stretton?
Appointments usually take 20-30 minutes, depending on how much wax is present and whether one or both ears are affected. We recommend using olive oil drops for 1-3 days before your appointment to help soften the wax.
▸
What if no ear wax is found?
If wax isn’t the cause, we’ll explain what we can see and advise next steps. The Ear Health Check is £25 if no wax is found.
▸
How often should I remove ear wax?
Your ears have a self cleaning mechanism and so, excess ear wax only needs to be removed if it is causing discomfort, pain or hearing loss.
▸
Do you offer home visits?
At the moment we do not offer home visits, but we have fully accessible, local clinics in Church Stretton and Shrewsbury.
▸
Do you offer same day ear wax removal?
We do! If you need your ear wax removed urgently, please contact our team to book a same day appointment (subject to availability).
▸
Do you offer hearing tests?
Yes, we offer free hearing tests to anyone over 60 and also for patients who are still struggling with hearing loss or muffled hearing, even after earwax removal.
