What Our Customers Are Saying
FAQ’s
These are the most common questions that we get asked.
How do I know if I need earwax removal?
Signs that you may need earwax removal include difficulty hearing, a feeling of fullness in the ear, earache, itching, or ringing in the ear (tinnitus). If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to consult with our pharmacists for an assessment.
Is earwax removal painful?
Earwax removal is generally not painful. Our pharmacists use safe and gentle techniques to remove excess earwax, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. You may feel a slight pressure or tickling sensation, but it should not be painful.
How often should I have earwax removed?
The frequency of earwax removal varies from person to person. Some people may need it every few months, while others may require it less frequently. Our pharmacists can provide personalized advice based on your ear health and history.
Can I remove earwax at home?
While there are over-the-counter ear drops available for softening earwax, it’s generally not recommended to try removing earwax at home with cotton swabs or other objects, as this can push the wax deeper and cause injury. Professional removal by our trained health care professionals is the safest option.
What should I expect during an earwax removal appointment?
During your appointment, our pharmacists will examine your ears to assess the amount of earwax build-up. They will then use specialised tools and techniques to remove the excess earwax gently and safely. The procedure is quick, and you’ll receive aftercare advice to maintain ear health.
How much does this cost?
Earwax removal starts from £40 for one ear and £60 for both ears. An ear health examination resulting in no need for earwax removal will cost £16. Please see pricing information on our services page, here.
