The problem ear wax build up was causing
My dad had been struggling with muffled hearing for a while. He was missing words mid-conversation, turning the television up far louder than usual, and gradually withdrawing from family life — something I suspected was being made worse by simply not being able to hear what was going on around him.
He has dementia, and while he can get out and about, it’s not easy. The effort and unfamiliarity of a clinic appointment felt like more than it was worth putting him through. He lives in Beeston and my mobile service worked perfectly for him as the treatment could be carried out in his home.
The treatment
Dad stayed in his own armchair for the entire appointment. No travelling, no waiting rooms, no disruption to his routine — just treatment in a familiar space where he felt comfortable and relaxed.
Using microsuction — a gentle technique that removes wax with careful suction rather than water — I cleared both ears quickly and without any discomfort.

The result
The difference was immediate. His hearing cleared, the television came down in volume, and he was able to follow conversations again. He seemed more present. More himself.
It reminded me why I do this work. Hearing connects us to the people we love — and when it fades quietly, so can confidence and connection. Sometimes the simplest treatment makes the most profound difference.
“We cannot recommend Alex highly enough. She visited us at home to carry out earwax removal for my husband, who has dementia, and from start to finish she was an absolute professional.
Alex has a wonderful manner — calm, gentle and reassuring — which made all the difference for my husband. She worked efficiently without ever rushing, and the results were immediate. He could hear clearly again straight away, which was such a relief for both of us.
If you or a loved one needs earwax removal, especially in a home setting, Alex is simply outstanding. A truly caring and skilled practitioner. Thank you so much, Alex!“
