Earwax Removal in Chippenham Book Now
Taking care of your hearing is vital! We all want to live life to the fullest and that is why good ear 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 If our ear health is compromised then our ability to hear deteriorates, this often causes people to be socially withdrawn.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 Chippenham 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 NHS, many people simply go on living their lives with this condition, unaware that they can get treated at their local pharmacy.
What Causes Ear Wax Build-Up?
Ear wax is a natural substance that protects your ears by trapping dirt, dust, and bacteria. However, excessive ear wax can lead to:
– Blocked ears
– Reduced hearing
– Discomfort or pain
– Ear infections
– Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Here at Chippenham Pharmacy and Health Clinic, we want to help our customers with conditions such as this and that is why we have partnered up with TympaHealth to provide easy and accessible Ear Wax Removal in Chippenham.

Preparing for Your Appointment
It is a simple and clean procedure, however we recommend softening the wax for 5 days prior to your appointment to ease the removal process. Our trained clinician will then be able to advise on whether a follow-up/aftercare appointment is necessary. If this is required, a follow-up appointment can be booked. If you require products to soften your ear wax, please contact the pharmacy or leave a note on the pharmacy booking form.
Our clinics run every day (Monday to Friday), but if you need help, please contact our pharmacy team (01249 793600 or contactus@chippenhampharmacy.org.uk) to see how we can help.
