Ear Wax Removal & Hearing Care in Northolt

Your nearest VIP Hearing Solutions clinic is at 121 Field End Road, Eastcote HA5 1QH — barely two miles north of Northolt, around ten to fifteen minutes by car, with Northolt’s own Eastcote Lane pointing the way. There is no through train, since Northolt is on the Central line and Eastcote on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly, so most Northolt patients drive. To book, call 020 8866 6700.

Microsuction ear wax removal at our Eastcote clinic — a short trip from Northolt — costs £65 for new patients — both ears included. The appointment includes a full look in both ears with a HCPC-registered audiologist and removal of any wax found — and if we find no wax, there is no charge. No GP referral is needed; same-day appointments often available.

No — we use microsuction exclusively, not ear syringing. Microsuction is the modern, water-free method now recommended by audiologists and ENT specialists: wax is removed under direct vision with fine suction, so the audiologist can see exactly what they are doing throughout. It is gentler, more precise and suitable for almost everyone — including patients with a perforated eardrum or a history of ear surgery, for whom water-based ear syringing is not advised.

Our Eastcote clinic offers a free 30-minute hearing test — a quick, no-obligation screening of your hearing with a HCPC-registered audiologist. If you would prefer a more comprehensive workup, a full hour-long diagnostic hearing test costs £40. There is no pressure to proceed to a hearing aid fitting afterwards.

Premium private hearing aids at VIP Hearing Solutions start from £3,295 per pair. That price covers a full bespoke fitting by a HCPC-registered audiologist, a personalised VIP aftercare package and a free, no-obligation 30-day home trial. We fit from all seven leading brands. See our hearing aid prices page for more.

We fit from all seven of the world’s leading hearing aid manufacturers — Phonak, Starkey, Oticon, Widex, ReSound, Unitron and Signia. We don’t work for manufacturers, we work for you, so our recommendation is based purely on what suits your hearing, your lifestyle and your budget. Every fitting includes a free 30-day home trial.

Yes — many of the hearing aids we fit are remarkably discreet. Options range from in-the-canal (ITC) styles through to completely-in-canal (CIC) and invisible-in-canal (IIC) devices that sit deep enough in the ear canal to be virtually unseen. We also fit Phonak Lyric, an extended-wear hearing aid worn around the clock for months at a time. Read more about invisible hearing aids.

By car: around 10–15 minutes from Northolt Village, Mandeville Road or the Racecourse Estate — barely two miles. By tube: Northolt is on the Central line and Eastcote on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly, so there is no through train; over a distance this short, driving or a cab is quicker. Paid on-street parking is available along Field End Road.

Often, yes. We keep clinic time aside for same-day appointments wherever possible, and otherwise we will see you within the same week. Call our Eastcote clinic on 020 8866 6700 first thing and we will tell you what is available today. No GP referral is needed.

Yes. Every hearing aid fitting at VIP Hearing Solutions includes a free, no-obligation 30-day home trial. You wear the hearing aids in your real day-to-day life — at home, in noisy places, at family gatherings — and we fine-tune them at a follow-up based on what you experienced. If they are not right after that, you simply hand them back, with no charge.

We see adult patients across the full range of audiology — age-related hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, asymmetric hearing loss, sudden hearing changes, tinnitus, recurrent ear wax build-up, hyperacusis and balance-related referrals. We fit hearing aids of every style (BTE, RIC, ITC, IIC, and extended-wear Lyric), supply custom hearing protection, and care for existing hearing aid users with servicing and aftercare. We do not see paediatric patients or offer home visits.

The audiologists who see Northolt patients at our Eastcote clinic are Tim Johnson (HCPC HAD004892, MSc Audiological Science, UCL), Ewa Kozlowska (HCPC HAD02644, Senior Audiologist, ear-wax-removal specialist), Nick Clive (HCPC HAD00170, Chief of Audiology), and Agnieszka Blasiak (HCPC HAD005650, Hearing Aid Audiologist). All registrations are verifiable at hcpc-uk.org.

There is paid on-street parking along Field End Road directly outside, and additional paid parking at the Devonshire Lodge Practice car park just up the road. Eastcote station is around 3 minutes’ walk from the clinic if you travel by rail, though over a two-mile journey most Northolt patients simply drive.
