The Technique
Home visit earwax removal is a professional ear cleaning service carried out in the comfort of your home. We use microsuction, water irrigation, and manual techniques, depending on your ear health and wax type.
This allows your clinician to remove earwax safely, effectively, and without needing to travel, offering complete convenience for patients across Bristol.
Home visits are ideal if you have:
Because we assess your ears first, we always choose the safest and most effective removal method for your situation.
Why experts recommend microsuction as the safest choice for your ear health.
We use medical-grade otoscopy and wax removal techniques, just as we do in clinic.
Perfect for elderly patients, busy families, and anyone with mobility difficulties.
We bring all professional equipment directly to your home.
Most patients feel only sound and light pressure.
Hearing often improves immediately once wax is removed.
Appointments can be carried out with a family member present.

Your clinician will examine your ears using a video otoscope and recommend the safest, most effective method for you. In many cases, we use a combination of both for best results.
Your Apointment
Our professional process ensures your comfort and safety at every step.
We begin with a detailed video-otoscopy so you can see the wax inside your ear canal. This allows us to confirm whether irrigation is suitable and safe.
Warm water is gently introduced into the ear canal using a controlled-pressure device. Most people feel only a light flushing sensation.
If needed, we may alternate with microsuction to remove stubborn areas.
Once the wax is removed, we re-examine your ears to ensure the canal and eardrum are healthy and clear.
We provide guidance to help keep your ears wax-free and reduce future blockages.
Using olive oil or sodium bicarbonate ear drops for 3–4 days beforehand can help soften wax, but they are not always essential for microsuction.
Recommended
3–4 days of olive oil drops for firm or impacted wax.
No drops
