Blocked ears? First establish why.
Ear wax is normal and helps protect the ear canal. It usually moves out naturally, without requiring professional treatment.
Sometimes wax builds up and becomes impacted, causing muffled hearing, fullness or discomfort.
But a blocked feeling is not always caused by wax. Hearing changes can have other causes, which is why an examination comes first.
If no wax is present, Tim can explain the visible findings and discuss whether further assessment would be appropriate.
A careful examination, then suitable treatment.
Tim begins by discussing your symptoms and relevant ear health history.
He examines both ears using otoscopy or video otoscopy where appropriate.
If wax is present, he considers whether treatment is suitable and which method would be appropriate.
Microsuction, controlled irrigation and manual removal are available, but no single method is appropriate for every person.
Tim explains the recommended method and relevant risks before obtaining your consent.

Should you use ear drops first?
Not necessarily. Firm or dry wax may sometimes be easier to remove after suitable softening.
Olive-oil drops or another appropriate wax softener may be recommended for several days, depending on your ear health.
There is no universal requirement to use Earol for two weeks. If you're unsure, ask Tim before your appointment.
If you've had ear surgery, grommets, a perforated eardrum or ear discharge, seek appropriate advice before using drops.
What if hearing is still reduced?
Removing impacted wax may improve hearing when wax was responsible for the problem. Improvement cannot be guaranteed.
If hearing difficulties continue after wax has been addressed, Tim can discuss whether a comprehensive hearing assessment is appropriate.
Hearing aid users can also experience reduced sound when wax obstructs a filter, receiver, dome or earmould.
As an audiologist, Tim can advise whether an ear examination, hearing assessment or device check is needed.

Do I need to soften the wax beforehand?
Not always. Appropriate wax-softening drops may help with firm or dry wax, but preparation depends on your ear health. Ask Tim if you're unsure.
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 your examination and history.

Tim will explain the visible findings and discuss whether further assessment is appropriate. The £40 no-wax consultation fee applies to standard home appointments.
Will ear wax removal improve my hearing?
Hearing may improve when impacted wax was responsible for the difficulty. However, hearing problems can have other causes, and improvement cannot be guaranteed.

Suitable home appointments may be arranged for care-home residents and people in supported accommodation. Contact Tim with the location and relevant requirements.
