About This Service
Ear Wax Removal by Microsuction
Blocked ears from a build-up of earwax can cause muffled hearing, discomfort, ringing or a feeling of fullness — and many GP practices no longer offer wax removal. At Edgeley Pharmacy in Stockport, trained clinicians remove earwax using microsuction: a safe, gentle method that uses gentle suction under direct vision, without flushing water into the ear. Most appointments take around 15 to 30 minutes and you will usually notice the difference straight away. No GP referral needed.
