Earwax is a natural and important substance, but when it builds up it can cause real discomfort. At Staveley Pharmacy, we offer professional microsuction earwax removal carried out by trained clinicians in a calm, clinical setting. Whether you are dealing with muffled hearing, a blocked sensation, or persistent discomfort, we are here to help.
Microsuction is a safe, precise method of earwax removal that uses gentle suction to clear blockages from the ear canal. Unlike traditional ear syringing, which uses water, microsuction is a dry procedure. The clinician uses a fine, low-pressure suction device and, in many cases, a small illuminated microscope or loupe to see clearly inside the ear throughout the procedure.
Because there is no water involved, microsuction is considered one of the safest and most comfortable methods available. It is the technique preferred by many ear specialists and is widely used in NHS and private audiology settings.

“Thank you Staveley Pharmacy for the way in which you dealt with my dad’s prescription following our call to NHS111. It was very much appreciated.”
“Didn’t have my prescription in stock due to suppliers being out of stock, so rang round other chemists in the area. When no luck the owner rang GP to get the prescription changed for a similar alternative. Stayed open late whilst waiting for GP to get back in touch. Incredible service and very much appreciated thank you.”
