Prefer a water-based method, or told microsuction is not for you? Modern ear irrigation uses controlled, warm-water flow to flush wax away gently. Parnell Pharmacy offers irrigation to suitable patients a short journey from Bow.

We start by examining your ear with an otoscope to see the wax and check the ear canal and eardrum. Wax is then removed using microsuction — gentle, low-pressure suction with no water — or warm-water irrigation where that is more suitable. The procedure is quick, usually comfortable, and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes for both ears, with many people noticing an improvement in their hearing, although this can vary from person to person. You will also get simple aftercare advice before you leave. After examining your ears, we recommend whichever of irrigation or microsuction is most suitable for you.
Irrigation can be a good option for Bow patients with softer wax and no history of ear surgery or perforation. After a quick examination, our clinician will advise whether irrigation or microsuction is the safer, more effective choice for your ears.

Parnell Pharmacy provides professional earwax removal on your doorstep from Bow, at 625-627 Roman Rd, Bow E3 2RN, using gentle microsuction and irrigation with same-day appointments.
Microsuction is widely regarded as a gentle, low-risk method. It uses gentle suction and no water, so it is usually comfortable and quick. You may hear some noise, and as with any ear procedure there is a small risk of mild discomfort, which your clinician will explain beforehand.
If your ears feel very blocked, using olive oil or a softening drop for two to three days beforehand can make removal easier. We will advise you when you book.
Most appointments take around 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how much wax is present and whether one or both ears need treating.
Microsuction uses suction and no water and suits most people; irrigation uses a controlled flow of warm water for softer wax. We recommend whichever is most suitable after examining your ears.
