Taking care of your hearing is vital! We all want to live life to the fullest and that is why good ear & hearing health is important to people of all ages. There are many factors that can affect our ear health including age, the misuse of earbuds, constant exposure to very loud noises and of course the build-up of wax. If our ear health is compromised then our ability to hear deteriorates, and this often causes people to be socially withdrawn. If you are concerned about your hearing health or you are looking for ear wax removal in Downpatrick then please contact us, we can help.
In the United Kingdom, it is estimated that around 3.9% of the population requires management of ear wax each year with many people having to wait 12 to 16 weeks to get treatment. These statistics are astonishing and due to the lack of treatments available with the HSC many people simply go on living their lives with this condition, unaware that they can get treated at their local pharmacy. Here at Ballymote Pharmacy, we want to help our customers with conditions such as this and that is why we are working hard to provide easy and accessible Ear Wax Removal in Downpatrick.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Thanks to modern technology, we can quickly diagnose ear & hearing conditions. Infections, as well as excessive & compacted wax, can be identified & treated quickly & painlessly.
Each appointment will take roughly 30 minutes. One of our highly trained clinicians will carry out the procedure. Our technician will identify any issues which may prevent you from undergoing the procedure, and whether or not you may require further treatment from specialist doctors. In most cases, however, the initial problem is simply the presence of excessive wax. If this is the case, a fast & painless microsuction procedure can be performed to clear the ear of any debris or built-up wax. This procedure could immediately improve hearing capabilities.
Ear Microsuction is the safest and most effective way to remove earwax. It works by inserting a low-pressure suction probe into the ear. The probe will be controlled by one of our trained clinicians who will be wearing a microscope that will allow them to look clearly into the ear canal to remove the wax.
This procedure is painless and does not involve water being squirted into your ear canal as syringing does. It is a simple and clean procedure.
There will be a free follow-up/aftercare appointment if necessary, this will determine if you need to come back on a 3 or 6 monthly interval.
