Frequently Asked Questions
There are really no stupid questions and I am open to answer anything. You can learn more about me here or scroll for the FAQs. Please contact me at waxremovalmedway@outlook.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
What is Ear Syringing?
Ear syringing is a technique of removing ear wax by flushing water through the ear canal using a specialist piece of equipment by a trained professional to get rid of any excess wax.
Why Choose this Method of Wax Removal?
Irrigation has been given such a poor reputation over the last decade. When microsuction became the new trend, irrigation was, and still is, marketed by some companies as unsafe or less effective, but this is not the case. Irrigation is considered safe and effective at ear wax removal and much more mobile than microsuction with less risk to damage in the ear.
You can have micro suction be unsuccessful and be referred to have water irrigation completed.
As I am a travelling service I am creating a set up in every house which are all individual therefore the water irrigation machine needs less space and is safer to be in a busy home environment.
Does irrigation hurt?
Ultimately no. Although it is described as a bit of a strange sensation, you can often feel dizzy when wax is dislodged, especially if it’s quite a large blockage. If you have a history of tinnitus this service can cause some temporary discomfort.
Who can have their ears treated?
Anybody who is 18 or older and can consent to the procedure can have this treatment done. I have treated people from 18 up to 102!
Why get ear wax removed?
Ear wax buildup can cause blocked ears as well as a range of symptoms which can be improved once the excess wax has been removed.
These include ear ache, fullness in the ear, hearing loss, tinnitus, itchiness and dizziness. Having the ear wax professionally removed can help all of the above.
Where do you travel to?
I cover the whole of the ME postcode area within the set prices, which includes Maidstone, Isle of Sheppy and Isle of Grain. Also within the set price I do travel some of the DA area.
I am happy to travel outside of this area at an increased cost – which is normally £10 extra to cover the extra travel, please get in touch for a custom quote.
Who can be there at the treatment?
The best part about having the treatment in your own home is that anyone who lives there can be there including babies and animals. I also offer multiple discounts for same household treatments – so feel free to invite friends and family.
How often can I get ear wax removal done?
I would suggest getting the treatment done 3-4 times a year maximum. However it could be a one off treatment.
Can ear wax cause pain when flying?
There is no evidence to suggest that ear wax causes pain when flying unless the ears are completely occluded (blocked up). In this instance pressure equalisation between the outer and middle ears cannot take place causing pain.
Can ear wax cause pain in my jaw?
I have met people who complain of pain from headaches, jaw aches, teeth aches and a pressure feeling. Once the wax is removed these pains should settle once the ears have recovered from being filled with water.
How can I pay?
I have multiple ways to pay, and you are welcome to use what you feel best to pay. I take cash payments, bank transfers and I carry a mobile card machine. The card machine does require a good mobile phone/internet connection to work.
How much does it cost?
I offer three levels of payment:
£15 – this is to look in the ears, if there is no wax to treat or it is unsafe to treat as there is an infection or damaged ear drums then the appointment will only cost £15.
£35 – This is to look at both ears and treat one ear with water irrigation to remove the wax.
£55 – This is to look at both ears and treat both ears with water irrigation to remove the wax.
What do you need to complete the treatment?
Do you prefer card or cash?
I honestly do not mind, I accept all payment types and carry a card machine, there is no judgement as long as I am paid!
Why are you only mobile?
When I set up my company this was a question that I debated. The more I spoke to people the more convenient it seemed to be mobile. When my insurance company was also happy with this is seemed the most sensible idea, less hassle for the customers and less expense for me which I can pass on for cheaper prices than my local competitors.
