Home/Prices
The straight answer: microsuction ear wax removal at Crewe Pharmacy costs £50 for one ear or £70 for both ears. Both ears are examined at every appointment, whichever option you book, and if we find no removable wax the clinician explains what they can see and advises on next steps. Pay by card or cash at the counter — nothing upfront.

01What's included

What your £50 or £70 actually covers

A single figure, everything in. Four things happen at every appointment, and none of them costs extra.

Examination of both ears

Before anything else, the clinician inspects both ear canals and eardrums under magnification — even if you've only booked one ear. You'll hear a plain-English description of what's in there before any decision is made. Curious how the procedure itself works? Read our full microsuction explainer.

The removal itself

Water-free microsuction of the wax we've found and agreed to remove — one ear or both, depending on what you've booked. The procedure typically takes 5–15 minutes, with the whole visit around twenty.

Aftercare advice

Before you leave, you'll know how to look after your ears for the rest of the day, what's normal in the hours afterwards, and how to slow the wax down next time — particularly useful for hearing aid and earbud wearers.

An honest no-wax policy

Sometimes an examination reveals no removable wax — the blockage feeling has another cause. When that happens we don't invent a procedure. The clinician explains the findings, discusses them with you before anything proceeds, and advises what to do next.

02Context

How we compare

Private microsuction in the UK generally sits somewhere between £50 and £100 for both ears, depending on where you live and who's holding the probe. Home-visit services tend towards the top of that range because travel time is built into the fee; some high-street chains charge separately for a consultation before quoting for removal.

Our £70 for both ears puts us at the affordable end of that range — deliberately. We're a pharmacy on Nantwich Road, not a clinic paying city-centre rent, and the examination is folded into the price rather than billed as its own line. What you won't find anywhere on this site is a "from" price: £50 and £70 are the complete figures, whatever we find in your ears.

One comparison worth making honestly: olive oil drops from the pharmacy shelf cost a few pounds and genuinely do shift soft, recent wax over a couple of weeks. If your blockage is mild and you're not in a hurry, try drops first — we'd rather you spent £5 than £70 unnecessarily. It's impacted, stubborn or hearing-aid-related wax where microsuction earns its fee.

03Payment

Paying is the easy part

Pay by card or cash at the pharmacy counter on the day. There's no deposit when you book, no online checkout, and nothing to remember beforehand — just settle up after your appointment, the same way you'd pay for anything else at Crewe Pharmacy.

04Cost questions

Money questions, answered plainly

Every appointment starts with an examination of both ears, and nothing goes further without your agreement. If we find no removable wax, the clinician explains exactly what they can see, talks you through what it means, and advises on sensible next steps — whether that's softening drops, a return visit, or a conversation with your GP. We'll always discuss things with you before proceeding with anything.
Yes. Both ears together cost £70, while a single ear costs £50 — so treating both in one visit saves £30 compared with two separate single-ear appointments. Since wax almost always builds up in both ears at a similar rate, and we examine both ears at every appointment anyway, most people choose the £70 option.
No — this is a private service. NHS wax removal provision in the Crewe area is very limited, and many GP practices no longer offer it at all, which is exactly why we run this clinic. Our fixed prices of £50 for one ear and £70 for both mean you know the full cost before you book.
By card or cash at the pharmacy counter on the day of your appointment. There's nothing to pay when you book, no deposit, and no online payment to set up — settle up after your appointment at Crewe Pharmacy, 139-141 Nantwich Road.

£70 for both ears. That's the whole bill.
