Ear wax is a normal part of ear health. It protects the ear canal and usually clears naturally.
Occasionally it accumulates and causes a blocked sensation or reduced hearing. But not all ear symptoms are caused by wax.
Tim starts with your symptoms and relevant ear health history before checking both ears. Video otoscopy may be used where appropriate.
If wax removal is suitable, Tim will explain the options and relevant risks before proceeding with your consent.

Firm or dry wax can sometimes be harder to remove. Suitable ear drops may help soften it before treatment.
Olive-oil drops or another suitable wax softener may be recommended for several days, depending on your ear health.
There is no universal requirement to use drops for two weeks before every appointment. If you're unsure, ask Tim for guidance.
If you've had a perforated eardrum, grommets, previous ear surgery or ear discharge, seek appropriate advice before using drops.

Ear wax removal in Storrington: your questions.
Do you offer microsuction at home in Storrington?
Yes. Tim provides home visit microsuction in Storrington where clinically appropriate. Irrigation and manual removal are also available. Your ears are examined before a method is selected.
Can you visit Sullington or Thakeham?
Home visit enquiries from Sullington and Thakeham are welcome. Tim can also consider nearby rural addresses, subject to availability. Please provide your postcode so arrangements can be confirmed.
How much is home ear wax removal?
Standard home wax removal costs £90 for one or both ears. If no wax is present, the consultation fee is £40.
Can you help if my ears feel blocked?
Tim can examine the ears to see whether wax is present. A blocked sensation can have other causes, so removal is offered only if suitable. Sudden hearing loss needs urgent medical assessment.
Is microsuction better than ear irrigation?
Neither method is automatically best for everyone. Microsuction uses specialist suction under visual guidance, while irrigation uses controlled water flow. Your ear health and the type of wax determine which approach is suitable.
Do I need to use olive oil before my appointment?
Not always. Wax-softening drops may help when wax is firm or dry, but they aren't appropriate for everybody. Ask Tim if you're unsure what preparation is suitable.
What happens if the wax cannot all be removed?
Sometimes wax cannot be removed safely in a single appointment. Tim will explain the findings and discuss any further softening, follow-up or referral needed. The listed follow-up consultation fee is £40.
