We now offer safe microsuction ear wax removal with a full digital ear check, in partnership with Tympa Health
Blocked ears, discomfort, or reduced hearing are often caused by a build-up of ear wax. At Robin Hall Opticians, we offer professional ear wax removal in Walkden, Worsley using safe and effective microsuction technology, delivered in collaboration with Tympa Health.
Our service provides a modern, clinically led alternative to traditional GP ear syringing, offering fast, comfortable, and professional ear care within a trusted independent healthcare practice.

Our collaboration with Tympa Health ensures patients receive evidence-based, high-quality ear care using modern clinical technology.
Microsuction is widely regarded as the gold standard method of ear wax removal and is now preferred over traditional ear syringing.
Benefits of microsuction include:
As many GP surgeries no longer offer ear syringing, private microsuction has become a safe and effective alternative.
Step 1 – Digital ear health assessment
Your appointment begins with a digital examination of your ears using a high-resolution camera to clearly view the ear canal and eardrum.
Step 2 – Microsuction wax removal
If ear wax is present, it is gently removed using controlled suction under direct visual guidance.
Step 3 – Aftercare and advice
We reassess your ears and provide personalised advice to help reduce future wax build-up.
Appointments typically last 20–30 minutes, depending on the amount of wax present.
Our ear wax removal service at Robin Hall Opticians is suitable for:
If ear wax is not the cause of your symptoms, we will explain our findings and advise on the appropriate next steps.
Microsuction is generally very well tolerated. You may hear some noise during the procedure, but discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived.
In some cases, olive oil or wax-softening drops may be recommended before your visit. Our team will advise you when booking.
