Hear Clearly Again
Without Leaving Home

Blocked ears are one of the most common signs of excess ear wax buildup. When wax accumulates and hardens in the ear canal, it can cause a feeling of fullness, muffled hearing, tinnitus (ringing), and even mild dizziness. This is particularly common in older adults and anyone who uses cotton buds, which can push wax deeper into the canal. If you're experiencing blocked ears in Bury, Bolton, or anywhere across Greater Manchester, our home visit service can provide fast, professional relief.

Microsuction ear wax removal is a safe, comfortable procedure performed by an NHS-trained healthcare professional using a microscope and a fine sterile suction tube. Unlike syringing or irrigation, microsuction doesn't use water, making it ideal for people with sensitive ears, perforated eardrums, or previous ear surgery. It's widely regarded as a professional method for ear wax removal and is available through our home visit service across Greater Manchester.

Yes, microsuction is safe when performed by an NHS-trained healthcare professional. Our practitioner uses magnification to clearly visualise the ear canal throughout the procedure, ensuring precise and gentle removal of wax. Single-use sterile equipment is used for every patient, and we conduct a thorough ear health assessment before any treatment. As an NHS-trained healthcare professional with full insurance and DBS clearance, your safety is our priority. We happily serve patients across Bury, Bolton, Manchester, and all surrounding areas.

Applying olive oil before microsuction can be helpful, especially if your ears haven't been professionally cleaned in a while. A few drops of olive oil (or sodium bicarbonate drops) 3-5 days before your appointment can soften stubborn wax, making it easier to remove. However, avoid putting oil in if you suspect an ear infection, have active ear pain, or think your eardrum may be perforated. If you're unsure, just give us a call before your ear wax removal appointment in Bury or Bolton and we'll advise you.

Yes, hearing loss caused by wax is very common. Impacted ear wax can completely block the ear canal, reducing hearing significantly — sometimes overnight. The good news is that this type of hearing loss is usually temporary and reversible once the wax is professionally removed. Many of our patients in Bury, Bolton, and across Greater Manchester are surprised by how much their hearing improves after just one session. If you're struggling to hear, don't ignore it — book a home visit today.

Tinnitus and ear wax are closely linked. While tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, or whooshing sounds in the ears) has many causes, impacted ear wax is one of the most common and reversible triggers. When wax presses against the eardrum or blocks sound transmission, it can amplify internal sounds and create tinnitus-like symptoms. Removing the wax often provides relief. If you're experiencing tinnitus and suspect ear wax may be the cause, we offer assessments across Greater Manchester including Bury, Bolton, and surrounding areas.

We serve patients across Greater Manchester, including Bury, Bolton, Ramsbottom, Tottington, Bury Old Road, Heaton, Harwood, and all surrounding areas. All you need is a quiet room and a comfortable chair.
