Ear wax build-up can cause hearing loss, discomfort, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), dizziness, or ear infections. At Crest Pharmacy, we provide a professional ear wax removal service using micro-suction -the gold standard for ear cleaning.
Microsuction is a safe, quick, and comfortable procedure performed by trained clinicians in a private consultation room. Unlike ear syringing, microsuction uses a gentle suction device to remove ear wax without introducing water into the ear canal, making it safer and more effective.

If you are struggling with muffled hearing, earache, or a persistent feeling of fullness, our professional ear wax removal service provides a safe and effective solution right in your local community. At Crest Pharmacy, we use the advanced microsuction technique, which is widely regarded as the gold standard for ear care. Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction uses a gentle medical suction device to remove wax without the need for water, significantly reducing the risk of infection. This precise, "dry" method is safer for sensitive ears and is even suitable for patients with perforated eardrums or a history of ear surgery. Our trained clinicians perform the procedure in private, comfortable consultation rooms using specialist equipment, ensuring you receive hospital-grade care without the long GP waiting times.
The results are often life-changing and immediate; most patients experience same-day relief from blocked ears and a noticeable improvement in hearing clarity the moment the treatment is finished.

By choosing Crest Pharmacy, you are opting for a convenient, professional appointment that prioritises your comfort and ear health.

No - microsuction is generally painless. You may hear some noise and feel a slight pulling sensation, but it is safe and well tolerated.
Most microsuction appointments take 15–30 minutes, depending on how much wax needs to be removed. Relief is often immediate.
It can help to use olive oil or ear drops for a few days before your appointment to soften the wax, but it is not always essential. Our team will advise you.
Yes - unlike syringing, which uses water to flush the ear, microsuction uses gentle suction, making it safer, cleaner, and suitable even for people with perforated eardrums or previous ear surgery.
