We use a high-definition digital otoscope and recording device to visualise your ear canal and eardrum, to confirm the presence of wax and check your overall ear health.

We can provide you with visual images or videos of your ear canal, if required. We’re also happy to provide before and after photos to show the extent of wax removal.

Our specially trained Pharmacists and Technicians can use microsuction to remove wax, if indicated, using our digital equipment for clear and safe care.

Everything You Need to Know.


1 in 5 adults in the UK are affected by hearing loss.*

With the increased use of headphones, widespread use of cotton buds, and absence of preventative ear care this figure is set to rise. Whether the loss is temporary or permanent, its impact is everywhere.

We’re here to support our community in taking charge of their hearing health. With affordable ear health checks and ear wax removal where needed, we’re proud to offer an accessible, straightforward way to help you hear clearly again.

Itching or irritation

Why Does Hearing Health Matter?

Good ear and hearing health is vital at every age. When hearing begins to decline, even slightly, it can take more effort to follow conversations, stay connected with loved ones, and fully enjoy everyday life. Over time, this can lead to frustration, isolation, or even increase the risk of falls.

Unlike routine eye or dental check-ups, ear health often gets overlooked — but it shouldn’t. Untreated hearing loss doesn’t just affect how well you hear; it can also impact your overall wellbeing and has even been linked to memory and cognitive changes later in life.

At Wellway and Central Pharmacies, we’re here to make ear care easy and accessible — so you can stay connected, confident, and in control of your hearing health.

Appointments to Suit You.

Book easily at a time that suits you. We’re here for you every weekday and Saturdays, making quality ear care accessible to all.

Expert Support, Accredited by TympaHealth.

Our team providing the service are qualified ear care practitioners, completing a course with TympaHealth which is accredited by The British Society of Audiology (BSA) and The British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA).

Affordable, Transparent Pricing.

We know how valuable your hearing is to your daily life – and high quality earcare shouldn’t break the bank. Health Checks start at £10, with Ear Wax Removal starting at £40.

Independent & Community-focused.

Our Team Will…

Take a history to understand any symptoms or concerns you’ve been having. We’ll then take your consent to examine your ears.

Check for signs of wax build-up or other issues that may be affecting your hearing.
Explain the findings clearly and answer any questions you may have.
If wax removal is needed, we may offer microsuction there and then — an effective procedure to clear the ear canal.

During your consultation, we’ll check your eligibility, talk you through the available management options, and answer any questions you may have.
