Blocked ears can leave you uncomfortable, dizzy, or struggling to hear clearly. At Tempera Health we provide professional ear wax removal in the comfort of your own home, covering Basingstoke, Newbury, Tadley, Kingsclere and surrounding villages

​

We use microsuction, the safe and effective method recommended by healthcare professionals. Unlike syringing, which uses water, microsuction is controlled, gentle and delivers instant results. It is suitable for people with those who wear hearing aids

​

Before your appointment, we ask that you use olive oil drops in the affected ear or ears for three to five days. This helps soften the wax and makes removal more comfortable.

 

During the visit we check your ears both before and after the procedure. The appointment usually takes twenty to thirty minutes, and most people notice an immediate improvement in hearing once the wax is removed, although some people report slight muffling which clears in a day or so
