Why Hollinwood patients come to us

Get your hearing back in one 20-minute appointment.

Looking for ear wax removal in Hollinwood? Oldham Clinic on Featherstall Road North is only a few minutes up the A62, where gentle, dry ENT-grade microsuction clears blocked ears in one 20-minute visit. No GP referral, same-day appointments and free parking on-site.

Microsuction ear wax removal near Hollinwood

Sitting on the Oldham and Failsworth border, Hollinwood is only a couple of miles from the clinic. When ears feel blocked, hearing sounds muffled, or there is pressure that will not budge, it is usually wax, and microsuction clears it cleanly. The visit takes around 20 minutes, is completely dry, and needs no GP referral, with free parking on Featherstall Road North.

Easy access from the motorway and the tram

Hollinwood is a mix of homes and retail wrapped around the A62, the Hollinwood tram stop and Junction 22 of the M60, so getting to us is simple whichever way you travel. Local patients range from hearing-aid users needing routine clearance to commuters whose earphones have packed wax in tight. With NHS audiology waits stretching to many months, a quick trip here is the practical fix.

Why we use microsuction

Microsuction is the safest professional way to remove wax. There is no water and no flushing; instead the clinician views the canal through a binocular microscope and lifts the wax out with a fine suction wand under direct vision. Because nothing is forced inward, there is none of the infection risk linked to syringing. We check both ears with an otoscope first to confirm wax and rule out anything that needs ENT care.

We are at 69-71 Featherstall Road North, OL9 6QB, with free patient parking on-site. From Hollinwood it is about eight minutes by car up the A62, and the tram on the Oldham and Rochdale line is an easy alternative. Book online or call 0161 213 0394 for a same-day slot.
