Ear wax removal in Swindon, done properly
Microsuction ear wax removal carried out in a pharmacy setting. A precise, water-free method used widely in audiology and ENT services — with your ear canal viewed throughout.
Why microsuction?
A precise, water-free way to remove ear wax
Microsuction uses a small suction device to remove wax while the clinician views the ear canal throughout the procedure.
No water irrigation
Unlike traditional syringing, microsuction doesn't flush water into the ear canal — which many people find more comfortable.
Direct visualisation
The ear canal is viewed throughout the procedure, so wax can be removed precisely and safely.
Widely used method
Microsuction is commonly used in ENT and audiology settings for professional wax removal.
Quick appointments
Most appointments take around 15–30 minutes, depending on how much wax there is and how hard it has become.
Clear, simple pricing

Questions & answers
Ear wax removal FAQs
What is microsuction?
Microsuction uses gentle suction to remove wax from the ear canal while the clinician views the ear throughout the procedure. Unlike syringing or irrigation, it does not use water.
Is microsuction safe?
Microsuction is widely used in ENT and audiology settings. It is commonly regarded as one of the safest methods of professional ear wax removal because the ear canal can be viewed during treatment.
How much does it cost?
Ear wax removal is £30 for one ear or £60 for both ears.
Do I need to use ear drops first?
We usually recommend using olive oil ear drops for a few days before your appointment unless you have been advised not to.
How long does the appointment take?
Appointments usually take around 15–30 minutes depending on the amount and hardness of wax.
Do you offer home visits?
Yes. If you or a family member would struggle to travel to the pharmacy, our clinician can carry out microsuction ear wax removal at home in and around Swindon. Home visits are priced separately from our in-pharmacy service: £40 per ear for a home visit, compared with £30 per ear at the pharmacy. A £25 call-out charge applies if no wax is found. See our mobile ear wax removal page for full details.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Not always. Our trained clinician checks your ears and confirms suitability before any treatment goes ahead, and there is no charge if we decide microsuction isn't right for you. Please contact us before booking if you have ear pain, discharge, dizziness, sudden hearing loss, a perforated eardrum or recent ear surgery.
