Did you know that around 1 in 5 UK adults live with hearing loss?

With rising headphone usage, misuse of cotton buds, and inconsistent ear care, this number is expected to grow. Whether hearing loss is short-term or permanent, it can significantly affect daily life.

Our cutting-edge Tympa Ear System Treatment ensures fast, safe, and comfortable care for adults.

 

Safe and Effective Ear Wax Removal

Earwax is natural, but excess earwax can sometimes cause hearing loss, discomfort, or dizziness. Dears Pharmacy specialises in microsuction, a highly effective and safe wax removal technique.

What is Microsuction?

Microsuction uses a gentle, low-pressure suction device to remove wax and dead skin under high-definition ear inspection. The procedure targets the ear canals and eardrums with precision, ensuring minimal risk. The TympaHealth Microsuction System allows our practitioners to safely clear even stubborn ear wax build.

Benefits of microsuction include:

  • Fast and comfortable procedure
  • Minimally invasive and safe
  • Usually effective in a single session
  • Immediate improvement in hearing and comfort

We highly recommend microsuction for anyone struggling with earwax build-up or experiencing hearing difficulties.

Pre-Treatment Tips

Softening wax with ear drops 1–2 times daily for 3–5 days before your appointment can make the procedure smoother and more comfortable.

Post-Treatment Care

No follow-up is required unless advised. Patients can resume normal activities immediately.

 

Advanced Ear and Hearing Assessments

Our Ear and Hearing Assessments use the world-first Tympa system, combining:

  • High-definition ear inspection
  • Safe wax removal techniques
  • Hearing evaluations

All procedures are performed by accredited practitioners trained in TympaHealth, certified by the British Society of Audiology (BSA) and the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA).

You can book online or via phone for private or NHS referrals at Edinburgh, Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, and Fife clinics.

Yes. Microsuction is safer and more precise than other wax removal techniques, avoiding water pressure that can push wax deeper or risk infection.

Most patients feel no pain, though a mild noise similar to a hand dryer is common. Mild discomfort may occur if you’ve recently had an ear infection or used ear drops.
Nearly all cases achieve 100% wax removal in one session. Even if some excess ear wax remains, hearing usually improves significantly.
Frequency varies. Those with recurring earwax build-up or hearing aid users may benefit from ear health checks and visits to wax removal clinics every 3–6 months.
Yes, if hearing loss is caused by ear wax build. Other causes may require further assessment.
