At Taffs Pharmacy, we offer safe and effective ear wax removal using micro-suction, a method widely recognised as the gold standard for clearing blocked ears. Our trained professionals ensure a comfortable and efficient procedure, helping you restore your hearing and ear health.
A brief medical history will be taken to assess your suitability for the procedure.
A video otoscopy (small camera inspection) will be performed to check for wax buildup.

If you're certain you have wax, you can start using olive oil drops for 5-7 days before your appointment to improve the chances of successful same-day removal.
Our trained ear care specialist will use the most suitable technique—micro-suction, irrigation, or manual removal—to safely clear your ear canal.
A final video otoscopy will be conducted to show the results, followed by advice on preventing future blockages.
