Blocked ears? First find the cause.
Ear wax is normal and helps protect the ear canal. Most of the time it clears naturally without treatment.
Sometimes it accumulates and causes muffled hearing, fullness or discomfort. However, a blocked sensation does not always mean wax is present.
Tim begins by asking about your symptoms and relevant ear health history before examining the ears.
If wax removal is appropriate, microsuction, irrigation or manual removal may be used, depending on your individual circumstances.
More about wax removal methods →Examine
Check both ears using otoscopy or video otoscopy as appropriate and discuss your symptoms and history.
Explain
Discuss whether wax removal is needed, which method is suitable and the relevant risks before treatment.
Treat and advise
Undertake suitable treatment with consent, recheck where possible and provide advice on aftercare or further assessment.
Professional ear care at your convenience.
Home visits allow Tim to examine your ears and explain the findings in familiar surroundings.
Here's how one patient described his experience of home microsuction.
“Using his camera he showed me that my left ear was almost covered in wax using suction he removed it promptly and painlessly. Would recommend his services for professionalism and convenience”
Extract from a genuine patient review. Individual results and experiences vary.
Should you use ear drops?
If wax is firm or dry, suitable wax-softening drops may make removal easier.
Olive-oil preparations are commonly used, although the product and duration should reflect your individual ear health.
Not everybody needs to use drops beforehand. If you're unsure, Tim can advise.
If you've had ear surgery, a perforated eardrum, grommets or ear discharge, seek appropriate advice before using drops.
