At Akasi Pharmacy, we understand that earwax buildup can be more than just a minor inconvenience. It can affect your hearing, cause discomfort, and even lead to more serious health issues if left untreated. While the NHS offers earwax removal services, many patients find the wait times and accessibility to be less than ideal. That’s why we provide private earwax removal services, offering a quicker, more convenient alternative. In this blog post, we’ll explore the advantages of our private earwax removal services, compare them to NHS options, and explain why Akasi Pharmacy is your best choice for ear care.
The Role of Earwax
Earwax, also known as cerumen, is a natural substance produced by glands in the ear canal. It plays an important role in protecting the ears from dust, debris, and microorganisms. However, when earwax accumulates excessively, it can cause inconveniences and some more serious health conditions.
Blocked earwax can significantly reduce hearing ability.
It can cause a feeling of fullness, itching, or pain in the ear.
Excess earwax and blockages can increase your risk of getting ear infections due to trapped bacteria and moisture.
NHS Earwax Removal Services
The NHS provides earwax removal services, typically using methods such as ear irrigation or microsuction. While these services are effective, they come with certain limitations:
Long Wait Times: Due to high demand and limited resources, patients often face long waiting periods for appointments.
Limited Accessibility: Not all GP surgeries and health centres offer earwax removal services, making it difficult for some patients to access care.
Referral Process: A referral from a GP is usually required, adding an extra step before receiving treatment.

What to Expect When You Choose Akasi Pharmacy
Here’s what you can expect when you choose Akasi Pharmacy for your earwax removal needs:
1. During your first visit, our healthcare professional will take a detailed medical history and perform an examination using an otoscope to assess the extent of earwax buildup and determine the most appropriate removal method.
2. The removal procedure will then see you attend a private and comfortable session with a member of our team, who will walk you through the microsuction process. This method uses a gentle suction device to remove earwax under direct visualisation with a microscope. It is precise, safe, and comfortable for the patient. This does not take very long as it requires no medication.
3. After the procedure, we provide you with aftercare instructions to maintain ear health. This may include advice on ear hygiene and the use of ear drops to prevent future buildup.
4. We may recommend a follow-up appointment to ensure your ears are clear of wax and to monitor your ear health.
