Ear Wax Removal

Clear blocked ears safely with professional ear wax removal at your local pharmacy.

Our pharmacy team can assess your symptoms, check suitability, and provide clear advice to help relieve discomfort caused by excess ear wax.

Our Ear Wax Removal service helps patients access safe and convenient support for ear wax build-up in a pharmacy setting. Evercare Pharmacy can assess your ears, explain the removal process, and provide suitable treatment where appropriate to help improve comfort and hearing.
This service may be suitable for patients experiencing blocked ears, reduced hearing, ear fullness, or discomfort caused by a build-up of ear wax. Our pharmacy team will check your symptoms, ear health history, and suitability before carrying out the service.
A trained member of our pharmacy team will ask a few health-related questions, check your ears where appropriate, and explain whether ear wax removal is suitable. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions before the procedure is carried out.
Ear wax removal is usually well tolerated, but you may experience mild temporary discomfort, dizziness, or sensitivity afterwards. Our pharmacy team will explain any aftercare advice clearly and let you know what to do if symptoms continue or further medical support is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is ear wax removed?
Your ears are examined first so the clinician can choose the most suitable method. Methods may include microsuction or gentle water irrigation, carried out by a trained clinician.
Most people find it comfortable. You may notice some noise or a cool sensation, but it should not hurt. Let the clinician know straight away if you feel any discomfort.
Using olive oil drops for a few days beforehand can soften the wax and make removal easier. We will let you know when you book if this is recommended for you.
It may not be suitable if you have a perforated eardrum, a current ear infection or recent ear surgery. The clinician will check this with you before starting.
Many GP practices no longer routinely offer ear wax removal. Our private service gives you a quicker option, and we will confirm the price when you book.
