What happens if my new earplugs don't fit?

It is very unlikely that your earplugs won't fit due to the fact they're designed around the precise shape of your ear canals. However, sometimes this can happen and we will need to get them adjusted. We will need you to take photos of your earplugs in your ears and describe the symptoms you're having once they're in. We will let the company know and they will advise on best options.

Once my moulds are posted, how long before I receive my custom fit earplugs?

For most custom fit earplugs, please allow between 2-3 weeks for your order to be delivered. If you're purchasing any of our suppliers specialist products it can take longer, between 3-4 weeks. We will keep you updated throughout the whole process and let you know when your earplugs are on the way to you.

What is earwax removal?

Earwax removal is a process of cleaning our ears of excessive earwax that has built up in our ear canals. There are a number of different methods used to try and do this including the preferred method of microsuction, ear syringing / irrigation or manual removal. Some people can also remove their earwax blockage by using over-the-counter ear drops.

What is earwax removal via microsuction?

Microsuction is a professional earwax removal technique where a specialised microscope and a medical suction device is use to carefully vacuum out earwax. Unlikely ear syringing where water is injected into the ear canal creating unnecessary risk of injury and hearing damage. Microsuction is safe, effective and painfree. It is the only treatment technique we use at Bristol Ear Health and is the national recommended method of earwax extraction.

What can I expect at my appointment?

Prior to your appointment we will review your symptoms and consent form to make sure microsuction is suitable for you. When you arrive, you will be welcomed by our staff. We will start with an assessment of your ears. Depending on what we find, we will either proceed with treatment or review any findings. Treatment takes approximately 15-20 mins for most people. Following treatment we will review your ears again and assess your ear drums for any issues. If we find something we don't like the look of we will provide you a referral letter and digital imagery to share with your NHS GP.
