Welcome to our new Ear Wax Microsuction Service
At Rainbow Pharmacy, we understand the importance of good ear and hearing health for people of all ages. Maintaining your hearing not only enhances your quality of life but also plays a vital role in your overall well-being. Factors such as age, ear wax build-up, and the improper use of cotton buds or in-ear headphones can affect your hearing, often without you realising it.
What to look out for
There may be several signs which may indicate an issue with your ears or hearing, including:
- Loss of hearing or muffled sounds
- Earache or discomfort
- Ears feeling blocked or full
- Discharge, itching, or ringing in the ears
- Dizziness, loss of balance, or even persistent coughing
Thanks to modern technology, diagnosing and treating ear and hearing conditions has never been easier. Problems such as ear infections and the build-up of compacted wax can now be quickly and painlessly identified and treated through ear wax micro-suction at Rainbow Pharmacy.
Convenient Local Care at Rainbow Pharmacy
In many cases, removing excess wax resolves the issue immediately. Once the wax has been cleared, we can perform a hearing screening to determine if further treatment is required. We’re proud to offer fast and affordable ear care services right here in your community. With advanced medical technology, including high-definition imaging and video, we can thoroughly examine your ears, share findings with specialists if needed, and provide effective treatment.
Quick and Painless Process
Firstly, there would be an initial appointment to check and assess the ear.
Once our clinicians have established that earwax removal is required, then olive oil eardrops shall be supplied for use up to 3- 5 days and a follow up appointment shall be made to carry out the micro-suctioning procedure. During the follow up appointment the clinician shall examine your ears and remove any excess wax.
Please be advised that if we are unable to remove the hardened wax, we may need to stop the procedure and advise that olive oil eardrops should be used for a further couple of days.
Our team are expertly trained in using state-of-the-art micro-suction technology, ensuring we provide the highest standard of care. Whether you’re dealing with discomfort, a loss of hearing, or simply wanting peace of mind. Book online or call our pharmacy line where a member of staff will be able to advise further.
Please note that this is a private service not funded by the NHS and we are unable to treat any patients under the age of 18.
Treatment
Upon examination of the ear, if there is a potential infection, our prescribing pharmacist shall be able to treat immediately with an antibiotic medication if deemed clinically appropriate.
