What happens during a home visit for ear wax removal?

I’ll arrive with all the necessary equipment, including a video otoscope to check your ears and a safe method of removal—usually microsuction or gentle irrigation. The process is quick, clean, and tailored to your comfort.

Do I need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Just a quiet space with good lighting, maybe an old towel. I’ll bring everything else

How long does it take?

A typical appointment lasts around 30–45 minutes. That includes a consultation, ear check, wax removal, and aftercare advice.

Do I need to do anything before the visit?

If possible, use olive oil drops or spray for 3–5 days before your appointment. This softens the wax and makes removal easier. If you’re unsure, I’ll guide you.

 Is it safe to have this done at home?

Absolutely. I follow strict hygiene protocols and use professional-grade equipment. You’ll receive the same high standard of care as in a clinic—just with the comfort of your own surroundings.

Can you visit workplaces or care homes?

Yes, I’m happy to accommodate, just let me know the setting in advance

Do you cover areas outside Colchester?

I primarily serve Colchester, but near by villages may be possible- drop me a message to check

What if there’s no wax or something else is causing the problem?

I’ll carry out a full ear health check and let you know what I find. If wax isn’t the issue, I’ll offer advice or refer you to the right professional.

How often should I have ear wax removed?

It varies—some people need it every few months, others only occasionally. I’ll help you understand your ears and recommend a schedule if needed
