Is it ear wax, or something else?
Ear wax is a normal part of ear health. It helps protect the ear canal and usually clears naturally without intervention.
Sometimes wax becomes impacted, causing a blocked sensation or reduced hearing.
But not every change in hearing is caused by ear wax. This is why Tim examines your ears before recommending treatment.
If no wax is present, he can explain the visible findings and advise whether further assessment would be appropriate.
A proper check, then the right treatment.
During the appointment, Tim will ask about your symptoms and relevant ear health history before examining both ears.
If wax is present, he will explain whether removal is appropriate and which technique is most suitable.
Microsuction uses specialist suction under visual guidance. Irrigation uses controlled water flow, while manual removal uses suitable instruments.
Not every method is suitable for everyone. Tim checks relevant risks before proceeding with your consent.

Tim uses otoscopy or video otoscopy as appropriate to check the ear canals and visible eardrums.

You'll be told what has been found, whether wax removal is suitable and what the procedure involves.
Treatment and advice

Professional care, with a personal touch.
An appointment at home can make ear care easier to fit around the day.

Do your ears need preparing?
Firm or dry ear wax can sometimes be easier to remove after suitable softening.
Olive-oil ear drops or another appropriate product may be recommended for several days beforehand.
However, preparation depends on your ear health. You don't automatically need to use drops for two weeks.
If you've had ear surgery, a perforated eardrum, grommets or discharge, seek appropriate clinical advice before using drops.
Helping someone who finds travel difficult.
Home wax-removal appointments can be arranged for people who have difficulty travelling or need support from a relative or carer.
Tim can also visit suitable care-home, assisted-living and supported accommodation settings by arrangement.
Where appropriate, family members and care staff can help coordinate the appointment.

Ear wax removal in Yapton: what to know.
Can I have microsuction at home in Yapton?

How much is ear wax removal in Yapton?
Standard home ear wax removal is £90 for one or both ears. If no wax is present, the consultation fee is £40.
Can you tell whether my ears are blocked with wax?
Tim examines the ear canals using otoscopy or video otoscopy as appropriate. This helps establish whether wax is present and whether treatment is needed.
Do you offer ear syringing?
Tim offers modern electronic ear irrigation where suitable, as well as microsuction and manual removal. Irrigation uses controlled water flow and is not suitable for everyone.
Do I need to use ear drops before the visit?
Not necessarily. Wax-softening drops may be helpful for firm or dry wax, depending on your ear health and history. Ask Tim if you're unsure what to use.
Will my hearing improve immediately?
Removing wax may improve hearing when wax is responsible for the reduction. However, hearing difficulties may have other causes and improvement cannot be guaranteed.
What if the wax cannot all be removed?
Some wax may be too firm or positioned in a way that makes complete removal unsuitable during one visit. Tim will explain the outcome and any recommended next steps.
How soon can I book an appointment?
Availability varies. You can request a home appointment online or contact Tim directly. A booking is confirmed once the request has been reviewed.
