Why Evington residents come to us

Hearing dulled, ears blocked, that uncomfortable pressure? We sort it in one visit.

If your ears feel blocked, your hearing has gone dull, or that pressure won't shift — chances are it's wax. Evington residents have a microsuction clinic three miles west on Welford Road — Clarendon Pharmacy, about ten minutes by car west on Evington Road through Stoneygate. No syringing, no water flushing, no mess. The whole appointment takes around 20 minutes.

Clarendon Pharmacy runs daily microsuction appointments led by clinicians trained in ENT-grade ear examination. We use professional Tympahealth suction equipment — the same kit ENT departments use — to gently remove wax under direct vision through a binocular microscope. You can SEE what's coming out, and you can hear the difference the moment the canal clears.

Most appointments are one-and-done. Some patients with very impacted wax need a follow-up to soften the remainder using olive oil drops for 3–5 days, then return. We'll tell you on the day if that's likely. Same-day availability for most weeks.

NHS ear wax removal services were largely decommissioned across England in 2019 — most GP surgeries no longer offer it, and where it IS available the wait can be months. Private microsuction is the routine route now. Book online or walk in, and you'll be hearing clearly the same day.

FAQ

Common questions about ear wax microsuction.

If your question isn't here, give us a call and we'll talk it through.

Yes — microsuction is the safest professional ear wax removal method. No water, no risk of pushing wax further in, no infection risk from contaminated water. Only common side effect is brief loud noise during the procedure.
Most patients describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. The suction can feel cold and sound loud. We stop if you feel any pain — that's a sign of something else (perforation, infection) that needs ENT not suction.
Pricing varies — see our booking page for current rates. The appointment fee includes the otoscopic exam, the procedure itself, and post-procedure check. No hidden costs.
Most people stay wax-free for 6–18 months. Some produce wax faster (genetic, age-related, hearing-aid users) and need quarterly appointments. We'll advise on home maintenance.
Not always — but it helps if your wax is impacted. 5 nights of softening drops before the appointment usually means we can clear both ears in one go. If you book in advance we'll advise.
NHS England decommissioned ear wax removal from primary care in 2019 because audiology was considered the appropriate route. In practice, NHS audiology waiting lists for ear wax are 12–24+ months in most areas. Private microsuction filled the gap.
Especially yes — hearing aids trap wax in the canal, which blocks the receiver and reduces aid performance. We see lots of hearing-aid users for routine maintenance. Bring your aids.
