Mark Challiner PhD MSHAA, a local independent audiologist, offers a personal approach and prompt attention. Holding a PhD from the Department of Medicine at Liverpool University and qualified in Hearing Aid Audiology since 2006, he is experienced in fitting both NHS and private hearing aids. He also holds a Certificate in Earwax Removal from Aston University (2018) and has successfully treated thousands of patients. The pricing is clear and consistent at £60. His services are available at convenient locations with easy parking, avoiding busy town centres. Microsuction, the quickest and safest method, is used rather than manual syringing. Ear syringing with a manual syringe is no longer recommended, according to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines. Evening appointments are offered on Thursdays in Bicton, Shrewsbury. Home visits are available if required on other days. Additional services include a screening hearing test, hearing aid advice, and tinnitus advice upon request. He is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and is a member of the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists.

Earwax Microsuction
Microsuction is the preferred method for earwax removal. This technique involves gentle suction with magnification and illumination, using a head loupe. Ear syringing with a manual syringe is no longer recommended, according to NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines (https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng98/chapter/Recommendations#removing-earwax) . Using olive oil drops a few days prior can be beneficial, as it softens the wax, facilitating easier removal via microsuction. Other products, like sodium bicarbonate or urea hydrogen peroxide, tend to be more irritating and are not the preferred choice. Sometimes, more than one session is necessary to completely remove the wax. Cotton buds should be avoided as they can push the earwax against the eardrum. The cost is £60 for one or both ears.
