# Earwax Removal

Compare pharmacies offering private earwax (ear microsuction or irrigation) removal, since NHS provision has become limited in many areas.

NHS earwax removal at GP surgeries has become harder to access in many parts of the UK, leading more pharmacies to offer the service privately, usually using microsuction (a gentle vacuum method) or ear irrigation. Prices typically range from £50 to £80 for both ears, and appointments are usually available within a few days. You may be advised to use olive oil or ear drops for a few days beforehand to soften the wax, which makes removal easier and safer.

## Frequently Asked Questions
How much does earwax removal cost at a pharmacy?▼
Typically £50-£80 for both ears, depending on the method (microsuction or irrigation) and the pharmacy. Some charge per ear rather than a flat fee.
Is earwax removal available free on the NHS?▼
It can be, but access varies significantly by area and many GP surgeries no longer offer it routinely, which is why private pharmacy provision has grown. Ask your GP surgery what's available locally first.
Do I need to prepare before an appointment?▼
Most pharmacies recommend using olive oil or proprietary ear drops for 3-5 days beforehand to soften the wax, making removal quicker and more comfortable.
