Eltham Pharmacy is dedicated to your health, and a frequent issue we encounter is earwax buildup. This is a common problem that can be uncomfortable and frustrating.
Earwax acts as a natural barrier, protecting the ear canal from dust, bacteria, and other foreign particles. However, when earwax accumulates excessively, it can lead to discomfort, hearing issues, and even potential infections if not properly managed.
Our Eltham Pharmacy is dedicated to your health. Earwax buildup is a common, frustrating problem — our qualified pharmacists provide safe, fast relief.
Earwax buildup occurs when cerumen, the natural wax produced by glands in the ear canal, accumulates to the point where it causes symptoms or obstructs the ear canal. While earwax serves important functions—such as protecting the ear from dust, debris, and microorganisms—too much of it can lead to problems. Buildup can happen due to overproduction of wax, improper ear cleaning methods (like using cotton swabs), or narrow or blocked ear canals.
Symptoms of earwax buildup include hearing loss, a feeling of fullness in the ear, earache, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), dizziness, and even coughing. If left untreated, severe buildup can lead to infections or damage to the ear canal or eardrum. Treatment often involves softening the wax with drops or using professional removal techniques like microsuction or irrigation to safely clear the ear canal.
Earwax treatments are a common service offered at Eltham Pharmacy. Our treatments are designed to safely remove excess earwax, which can build up and cause symptoms such as hearing loss, earache, tinnitus, and dizziness.
One of the most common methods is microsuction, a procedure where a small, low-pressure suction device is used to gently remove the wax under direct visualisation. Another method is ear irrigation where warm water is used to flush out the wax. In some cases, clinics may also provide ear drops to soften the wax before removal.
These treatments are usually quick, safe, and effective, providing immediate relief from the discomfort caused by earwax build-up.

I am traveling from the States and found myself with a terrible gout flare up. I had a great and wonderful consultation with Josh! He was both very kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to anyone. Great staff and team! Thank you!
I visited the chemist last min after a wasp sting and the staff were incredibly friendly and understanding. They listened to what I needed and quickly helped me find the right cream (Anthias). Really appreciated their kindness and efficiency — thank you!
