A straightforward appointment, in your own home.
When your ears feel blocked, arranging a separate trip to a clinic may be the last thing you want to do.

It can be particularly helpful for someone who finds travelling difficult, needs assistance from a relative or simply prefers familiar surroundings.
You don't have to be housebound to request a home appointment.
First find out what is happening.
Ear wax is a normal part of ear health and helps protect the ear canal. Most of the time, it clears naturally.
Sometimes it becomes impacted, leading to muffled hearing, fullness or a blocked feeling.
These symptoms are not unique to ear wax. That is why Tim starts by examining your ears, rather than assuming wax is the cause.
If no wax is present, he can explain the visible findings and whether further assessment might be appropriate.
Your ears examined, then treated appropriately.
Tim begins by discussing your symptoms and relevant ear health history. He then examines both ear canals.
Video otoscopy may be used where appropriate, allowing you to understand what has been found.
If wax removal is suitable, treatment may involve microsuction, controlled irrigation or careful manual removal.
Each method has different considerations, so Tim explains the recommended approach and relevant risks before obtaining your consent.

Tim checks the ears and establishes whether a wax blockage is present.
Explain and treat
Suitable wax removal is discussed and, with consent, carried out where appropriate.
Aftercare
Tim rechecks the ears where possible and explains any follow-up, aftercare or next steps.
Good explanations. Thoughtful aftercare.
Knowing what is happening during treatment is an important part of feeling comfortable.
This patient described Tim's explanations and the advice provided following their appointment.
“A really excellent and professional service. Tim was courteous at all times and clearly explained the procedure and checked on regular intervals that I was ok. The follow up email was really useful with tips on aftercare and maintaining good ear health. Highly recommended. Thank you.”
Do you need ear drops beforehand?
Not always. Firm or dry ear wax may sometimes be easier to remove after suitable softening.
Olive-oil drops or another suitable preparation may be recommended for several days, depending on your ear health.
There is no universal requirement to use Earol for two weeks before an appointment.
If you've had a perforated eardrum, grommets, previous ear surgery or ear discharge, seek appropriate advice before using drops.
What if wax isn't the answer?
Removing impacted wax may improve hearing if wax was responsible for the difficulty.
But reduced hearing can have other causes, and improvement after wax removal cannot be guaranteed.
As an audiologist, Tim can discuss your hearing difficulties and advise whether a more comprehensive hearing assessment may be worthwhile.
South Coast Hearing also offers home hearing assessments and hearing aid support throughout Arundel.

Ear wax removal in Arundel: your questions.

How much is ear wax removal at home in Arundel?

Is microsuction better than irrigation?
Neither method is automatically best for everyone. Microsuction, irrigation and manual removal have different indications and precautions. Tim recommends treatment based on the condition of your ears and relevant history.
Do I need to use ear drops before my visit?
Not necessarily. Suitable drops can help soften firm or dry wax, but preparation depends on your ear health. Seek appropriate advice if you have had ear surgery, grommets, a perforated eardrum or ear discharge.
Will removing wax improve my hearing?
Removing impacted wax may improve hearing if wax is responsible for the problem. However, hearing loss can have other causes, so improvement cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if the wax cannot all be removed?
Some wax may be too firm or difficult to remove safely in one visit. Tim will explain the outcome and any recommended softening, follow-up or referral.
Can Tim visit a care home in Arundel?
Suitable visits may be arranged for residents in care homes, sheltered accommodation and supported living settings. Contact Tim with the location and relevant requirements to discuss arrangements.
How quickly can I arrange an appointment?
Availability varies. Request a home appointment online or contact Tim directly. A booking is confirmed after availability and suitability have been reviewed.
