What is ear wax removal?
A quick, modern alternative to syringing
Ear wax is natural and usually clears on its own — but when it builds up, it can cause pain, discomfort, muffled hearing and a persistent feeling of fullness in the ear.
At Pierremont Pharmacy, we remove ear wax using microsuction: a gentle, controlled suction technique that clears the ear canal without water and without the risks associated with older removal methods.

Why choose microsuction?
The safer, more precise option
Highly effective wax removal
We use microsuction to safely remove ear wax and relieve hearing loss, discomfort and pain caused by wax build-up. Using modern equipment trusted by ENT specialists, you can feel confident you're in good hands.
Pain-free and non-invasive
Using gentle suction, we carefully remove your ear wax. Unlike traditional methods, micro-suction is one of the safest ways to remove ear wax without damaging the ear canal — and it's not uncomfortable, taking only a few minutes.
Safe with other ear conditions
Compared to other methods, micro-suction allows a more precise examination of the inner ear and doesn't require water, which can cause infection. It's also safe for people with other ear conditions, such as a ruptured eardrum.

Real stories from real patients
"My hearing loss started very gradually, but increasingly I found myself asking family and friends to repeat things, or turning up the radio. Shortly after, I noticed an uncomfortable fullness in my ears. A visit to the pharmacy soon allayed my worries — within minutes of treatment, the old 'hearing' me had returned! I highly recommend it."
Frequently asked questions
Good to know before you book
Ear wax buildup is one of the most common, treatable causes of muffled hearing, fullness and discomfort. Our microsuction service safely clears the ear canal in a single appointment, often relieving symptoms straight away.
Most appointments take around 15–30 minutes in total, including a quick examination beforehand. The suction itself is usually complete within a few minutes per ear.
Your treatment is carried out by our trained, accredited pharmacy team, experienced in microsuction ear wax removal.
Microsuction is generally considered safe and is not painful — most patients feel only a gentle sensation. It doesn’t use water, which reduces infection risk, and is suitable for some patients with other ear conditions, such as a perforated eardrum, where certain other methods wouldn’t be.
