Ear wax is a natural substance that protects your ear canal, but when it builds up excessively, it can cause discomfort, hearing problems, and even pain. At May & Thomson Pharmacy in Woking, we offer professional ear wax removal services using safe, modern techniques.
Signs You May Need Ear Wax Removal
Common symptoms of excessive ear wax include:
- Reduced hearing or muffled sounds
- A feeling of fullness in the ear
- Earache or discomfort
- Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
- Itching inside the ear
- Dizziness or balance issues
Why Choose Professional Ear Wax Removal?
While it might be tempting to try removing ear wax at home using cotton buds or other objects, this can actually push wax deeper into the ear canal and cause damage. Professional removal at our Woking pharmacy is safe, effective, and comfortable.
Our Ear Wax Removal Methods
At our Sheerwater clinic, we use microsuction - the gold standard in ear wax removal. This technique uses a gentle suction device to carefully remove wax while viewing the ear canal through a microscope. Benefits include:
- No water required (unlike ear syringing)
- Suitable for those with perforated eardrums
- Quick and virtually painless
- Immediate results
What to Expect at Your Appointment
During your visit to our Parfitt Way pharmacy, our trained clinician will first examine your ears using an otoscope. If wax removal is needed, we'll proceed with microsuction, explaining each step as we go. The entire process typically takes around 20-30 minutes.
Preparing for Your Appointment
For best results, we recommend using olive oil ear drops for 3-5 days before your appointment to soften the wax. However, if you're experiencing significant discomfort, don't delay - book an appointment and we'll assess your ears.
