Ear wax or another hearing problem?
Ear wax helps protect the ear canal and usually clears naturally.
Sometimes it accumulates and becomes impacted, causing a feeling of fullness or muffled hearing.
But not every blocked sensation or change in hearing is caused by ear wax.
Tim examines the ears before recommending treatment. If no wax is found, he can explain the visible findings and advise whether further assessment is appropriate.
A careful check, then suitable treatment.
Tim begins by discussing your symptoms and relevant ear health history.
He then examines your ears using otoscopy or video otoscopy where appropriate.
If wax removal is needed and clinically suitable, the available options include microsuction, controlled irrigation and manual removal.
Tim explains the recommended method and relevant risks before proceeding with your consent.

Professional ear care, with time and attention.
Stubborn wax doesn't always come away easily. Sometimes treatment requires patience, careful examination and an explanation of the next steps.
This is an account from a South Coast Hearing home-visit patient.
“The gentleman that came out to my home to remove the stubborn wax from one of my ears was very professional and carried with him an array of high-tech equipment. He spent over an hour making sure he removed the wax causing my hearing loss. The results were instant. I would highly recommend South Coast Hearing.”

Do you need ear drops first?
Not always. Firm or dry wax may sometimes be easier to remove following suitable softening.
Olive-oil drops or another appropriate preparation may be recommended for several days, depending on your ear health.
There is no universal requirement to use Earol for two weeks before treatment.
If you have a perforated eardrum, grommets, previous ear surgery or discharge, seek appropriate advice before using drops.
