Professional ear microsuction and ear checks for adults, delivered safely by our pharmacist in our private consultation room — no GP referral needed.
How it works
Blocked ears are miserable — muffled hearing, fullness, sometimes ringing or discomfort. Our pharmacist uses microsuction: a gentle vacuum removes the wax under direct vision, without flushing water into the ear. This may be suitable for many people where irrigation is not preferred.
We start by examining both ears to confirm wax is actually the problem. If we see anything that needs a GP or specialist instead, we'll tell you straight away rather than treating unnecessarily.
Microsuction removes wax precisely and comfortably, under direct vision without syringing water into the ear, which is why it may be an option for people who cannot have traditional irrigation.
For the best result, soften the wax with olive oil drops two or three times a day for a few days before your appointment — it makes removal quicker and more comfortable.
The service is for adults, and we'll always check and advise on both ears. If no wax is found, we'll examine and advise — ask us for details when booking.
