Ear Wax Removal for Melksham Residents
Ear wax is a normal substance that helps protect the ear canal. Sometimes, however, wax can build up and become impacted.
You may notice:
-
Muffled or reduced hearing
-
A blocked or plugged sensation
-
Hearing that seems worse in one ear
-
Tinnitus becoming more noticeable
-
Ear discomfort or itching
-
Hearing aids becoming less effective or producing feedback
-
Wax that you can see at the entrance to the ear
These symptoms can have causes other than ear wax, which is why we examine the ears before deciding whether treatment is appropriate.
What Happens During a Melksham Home Visit?
Your appointment takes place in the comfort of your own home.
1. Ear assessment
We begin by discussing your symptoms and examining your ears. Video otoscopy may be used to provide a clear view of the ear canal and eardrum.
2. Ear wax removal
If wax is present and treatment is appropriate, we use the method most suitable for your ears. This may include microsuction, manual removal or water irrigation depending on the circumstances.
We do not assume that one method is suitable for everyone.
3. Final examination
After treatment, the ears are checked again where possible to ensure the wax has been removed and to assess the ear canal and eardrum.
4. Aftercare advice
We explain any relevant aftercare and discuss ways of reducing future problems with excessive or impacted ear wax.
Preparing for Your Appointment
If your ear wax is hard or deeply impacted, preparation can make removal easier.
We normally recommend using Earol olive oil spray twice a day for five days before your appointment, unless you have been advised otherwise by a healthcare professional.
The purpose of the oil is to soften and lubricate the wax, which can make treatment more comfortable and easier to perform.
If you have been specifically advised by your GP or another healthcare professional to use sodium bicarbonate drops, follow their advice instead.
If you have ear pain, discharge, a recent ear operation, a known perforated eardrum or another significant ear problem, please tell us when booking.
Ear Wax Removal for Older People in Melksham
Home visits can be especially useful for older people who find travelling to appointments difficult. We regularly provide ear care in people’s homes and residential settings, taking a patient and respectful approach. Where appropriate, we can liaise with family members or carers to help make the appointment straightforward.
For people who use hearing aids, removing excess wax can sometimes improve the way the hearing aids fit and function. However, hearing loss is not always caused by wax, so we recommend a hearing assessment if hearing remains reduced after the ears have been cleared.
Melksham and the Surrounding Area
Wiltshire Ear Clinic is a mobile service, so there is no separate Melksham clinic for you to travel to.
We visit homes throughout Melksham and nearby communities, including Bowerhill and surrounding villages. Melksham’s town centre is centred around the Market Place, with local shops, services and community facilities. Bowerhill is also a substantial local community south of Melksham, with its own village facilities and services. Our home-visit service means that wherever you live in the Melksham area, you can receive professional ear care without needing to arrange a journey into another town.
