Ear wax removal using microsuction, with gentle low-pressure irrigation where appropriate, carried out by our trained team here at West Street Pharmacy.

Why Microsuction Is Preferred to Ear Syringing

• Much lower infection risk. A completely dry technique, with none of the trapped moisture that can cause infections after syringing.
• Ideal for hearing aid wearers. Aids make wax build up faster; microsuction keeps the canal clear so they work properly.
• Done under direct vision. We work with magnification and a light throughout, so it's precise and your eardrum stays safe.
• Suitable when syringing isn't. Often safe even with a perforated eardrum, past ear surgery, grommets or repeated infections (we'll always check first).
• Removes stubborn, impacted wax that water-based methods often can't shift.
• Quick, gentle and mess-free, with relief usually straight away.
