If you’ve booked your mobile ear wax removal appointment with Hear Now, you’re already on the path to clearer hearing and improved comfort.

But what should you do to get ready for your appointment? And what can you expect afterward?

Here’s a simple guide to help you feel confident before, during, and after your professional ear wax removal procedure, whether you’re in Dudley, Stourbridge, Kingswinford, Kidderminster, or anywhere in the DY postcode.


πŸ“ Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare

  1. Use Softening Drops if Advised
    • If you’ve been advised to use olive oil or ear drops, start 3–5 days before your appointment.
    • This helps soften stubborn wax, making removal quicker and more comfortable.
  2. Stay Upright After Drops
    • Avoid lying down immediately after applying drops so they stay in the canal longer.
  3. Don’t Insert Anything Into Your Ears
    • No cotton buds or foreign objects β€” these can push wax further in or damage your eardrum.
  4. Prepare a Comfortable Space
    • Our mobile clinician will need a chair and a well-lit area in your home.
  5. Bring Your Questions
    • Wondering if your hearing loss is from wax or something else? Ask during your appointment!

πŸ”¬ What to Expect During the Procedure

At Hear Now, we use the Tympa system, which includes:

  • βœ… HD digital otoscopy (you’ll see inside your ears!)
  • βœ… Safe, water-free micro-suction for precise wax removal
  • βœ… Before-and-after images so you can see the results

Appointments usually last 30–45 minutes, with most patients reporting improved hearing immediately after.


πŸ’‘ Aftercare Tips: What to Expect After Ear Wax Removal

  1. You May Notice Better Hearing Instantly
    • It might feel strange at first β€” especially if the blockage was significant.
  2. Mild Sensitivity is Normal
    • Your ear canal may feel a little sensitive, especially if it was tightly blocked.
  3. Avoid Water for 24 Hours
    • Try to keep your ears dry, especially during showers or swimming.
  4. Use Drops Only if Recommended
    • Follow any specific advice given during your appointment β€” usually, no further drops are needed.
  5. Schedule Regular Ear Health Checks
    • Some people benefit from 6–12 monthly checkups, especially if they’re prone to buildup.
