FAQs

Newington Pharmacy Ear Clinic provides professional ear health services in Edinburgh, including ear wax removal and advice for blocked ears, reduced hearing, ear discomfort and general ear care. Our service is designed to be safe, comfortable and supportive.

You may benefit from ear wax removal if you are experiencing blocked ears, muffled hearing, ear fullness, ringing sounds or discomfort caused by a build-up of wax. If you are unsure, our team can assess your symptoms and advise on the most suitable next step.

Ear wax removal should not be painful. You may feel mild pressure, movement or unusual sounds during the appointment, but the process is designed to be as gentle and comfortable as possible. If you feel any discomfort, let the clinician know straight away.

In many cases, using olive oil ear drops before your appointment can help soften the wax and make removal easier. Please follow the preparation advice provided when booking. If you have ear pain, discharge, a perforated eardrum or previous ear surgery, please contact us before using any drops.

Appointment times can vary depending on the level of wax build-up and whether one or both ears need treatment. Most appointments are completed within a short visit, and our team will explain the process clearly before starting.

You can book an appointment with Newington Pharmacy Ear Clinic online or by contacting the pharmacy directly. Our clinic is based in Edinburgh and offers a convenient, professional ear care service operated by Newington Pharmacy.
