Frequently Asked Questions

Is microsuction safe?

Yes. Microsuction is regarded as the safest method of ear wax removal and is carried out by trained, GPhC-registered pharmacists who examine your ears first.

Do I need to prepare beforehand?

Using olive oil drops for a few days before your appointment can help soften the wax, but it isn't essential. Your pharmacist will advise you.

Does it hurt?

No. Most people find it painless and comfortable. You may hear a gentle suction sound during the procedure.

How long does the appointment take?

Around 30 minutes, including a full examination and aftercare advice. Most people walk out with clearer hearing the same day.
