Ear Health Check: Home Ear Wax Removal in London

Ear Health Check is a mobile ear health service that makes home visits in London and the surrounding area. The company caters to people with reduced mobility, dementia, Alzheimer's, or hearing impairment, as well as care homes and nursing homes. Its approach is to bring ear wax removal and hearing checks to the patient's home, avoiding travel and waiting rooms.

In-Home Ear Health Services

Ear Health Check's services include a comprehensive hearing assessment, ear wax removal using specialised suction, and a basic four-frequency hearing screening. The company states that it uses high-definition TympaHealth technology for otoscopy and microsuction. The service is presented as an alternative for those who have difficulty attending a clinic, with personalised care and follow-up after the appointment.

Professional Profile and Accreditations

The lead ear health practitioner, Anna, qualified as a nurse in 2018 and worked in the NHS in various roles, including geriatric inpatient wards and emergency departments at a London hospital. She completed her specialist training in ear care and microsuction ear wax removal, accredited by the British Society of Audiologists (BSA) and the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists (BSHAA). She also holds a Level 7 postgraduate qualification in facial injectable treatments. The team is insured, certified, and CRB checked.

Appointment Process and Preparation

The process begins with checking the coverage area via the website. The user then selects a date and time and completes their details to book. The professional visits the home on the agreed date. After the procedure, the patient receives a consultation report and can access ongoing support. The company recommends preparing for the appointment by using olive oil or a spray such as Earol for 3 to 5 days, 2 to 4 times a day, to soften the ear wax. It warns that other products may not be suitable and that using oil may temporarily increase the feeling of blockage. If an unpleasant taste is experienced, use should be stopped and the GP consulted.

Groups Served and Symptoms Treated

Ear Health Check serves individuals, family members booking for their elderly relatives, and care homes. Symptoms addressed include a feeling of blocked ears, tinnitus, and unilateral hearing loss. The company carries out an assessment to determine whether there is a build-up of ear wax and, if necessary, refers to a specialist.

Price and Coverage

The home visit service is priced at £85 and includes a detailed assessment, safe ear wax removal, professional advice, and a basic hearing screening. The company operates in London and the surrounding area. The website shows a 5.0 rating based on 49 reviews on Trustpilot, with testimonials highlighting the friendliness, patience, and effectiveness of the service, especially for elderly or vulnerable patients.
