Microsuction ear wax removal in the heart of Oldham

Oldham Clinic is the private ear wax service at Westwood Pharmacy on Featherstall Road North, a short hop from the town centre, Spindles and Tommyfield Market. If your ears feel blocked, your hearing has gone dull or there is a stubborn feeling of pressure, it is usually wax, and microsuction clears it fast. The whole appointment takes about 20 minutes, with no GP referral and free parking outside.

Trusted by patients across the borough

Oldham is one of the largest and most diverse towns in Greater Manchester, and we see the full spread of it: older residents whose hearing aids keep whistling, cotton-bud users who have made things worse, students and shift workers who cannot wait months for NHS audiology, and families who want it sorted the same week. Being on the doorstep of the town centre and the Westwood tram stop means most people are in and out on a lunch break.

Microsuction, not syringing

Microsuction is the method ENT departments use. Rather than flushing the ear with water, the clinician looks through a binocular microscope and lifts the wax out with a fine suction wand, all under direct vision. It is dry, controlled and gentle, and because nothing is pushed inward there is none of the infection risk that comes with syringing. We always start with an otoscopic exam to confirm it is wax and to rule out infection or a perforation before we begin.

Getting to the clinic from around Oldham

You will find us at 69-71 Featherstall Road North, OL9 6QB, with free patient parking on-site. From the town centre it is about five minutes by car along the A62 or A627, and the Westwood Metrolink stop is a short walk if you would rather take the tram. Book online or call 0161 213 0394 and we will usually see you the same day.

02MicrosuctionUsing a binocular microscope and a small suction wand, we gently lift the wax out under direct vision. Most ears clear in 5 to 10 minutes each.
03Walk out clearHearing restored and pressure gone. We will show you the wax if you want to see it, and there is no aftercare beyond keeping water out for a day.
