Pharmacies deliver ear and hearing healthcare to meet rising demand
“It’s amazing how many people have a hearing problem. I didn’t realise until I started in pharmacy…it’s a real problem in our community” – Kara, Cadham Pharmacy
Community pharmacies are meeting rising demand for ear and hearing healthcare services. Most GPs are no longer offering wax removal services, (BBC), and patients are left waiting for several weeks, if not months to receive the treatment they need. As such, many patients are looking for private alternatives.
It’s amazing how many people have a hearing problem. I didn’t realise until I started in pharmacy…it’s apparent that it’s a real problem in our community. From old to young. People used to come in here and I couldn’t help them. They couldn’t hear and I didn’t have the skills or know what to do to help them. So now partnering with Tympa, and by expanding my skill set, and getting this additional training, I can provide these patients with the help that they really need.

Many pharmacies have already expanded their services to meet the rising demand in their communities for ear and hearing healthcare services, with the Tympa System. An ideal addition to any pharmacy portfolio, the Tympa System empowers pharmacists to perform digital otoscopy, microsuction wax removal using a suction unit* and a hearing check, all in a single 30-minute appointment.
By introducing a new service to your pharmacy, not only do you bring in new expertise to your practice, but you also increase selling potential, as well as a brand-new revenue stream and increase footfall.
At TympaHealth, our unique ‘Remote Review’ feature supports both clinician and patient every step of the way as pharmacists can call on expert advice and guidance from our team of Audiologists and ENT Surgeons, if a second opinion is required.
By offering this service in your pharmacy you can help maintain and strengthen existing customer relationships, as well as attract new clientele.
