What happens during a home ear care visit in Longthorpe?

A home visit begins with a discussion of your symptoms and ear history. Your clinician examines both ears before deciding whether treatment is suitable. Where appropriate, visible wax may be removed using microsuction, followed by a final check and aftercare advice.

Common signs of blocked ears and earwax build-up

Muffled hearing, a blocked or full feeling, ringing or buzzing, mild discomfort and hearing aids sounding less clear can all be reasons to arrange an ear examination. These symptoms can have other causes, so treatment is only provided when wax is present and removal is appropriate.

Home visits in Longthorpe

Home care can be helpful for older adults, hearing-aid users, people with limited mobility and anyone who prefers an appointment in familiar surroundings. A relative or carer can attend with the patient's permission.

When to seek medical advice

Sudden hearing loss, severe ear pain, discharge, bleeding or significant dizziness need medical advice. Seek an urgent GP appointment or contact NHS 111 when symptoms are sudden or severe.
