Blocked Ear? Get Expert Earwax Removal & Hearing Checks in Doncaster
Do You Suffer from Earwax Hearing Loss?
In the UK, around 3.9% of the population needs earwax management every year. Yet, many people wait months for treatment or struggle with hearing loss without realizing that fast, effective relief is available at their local pharmacy.
If you're experiencing blocked ears, discomfort, or difficulty hearing, you don’t have to wait 12-16 weeks for NHS services. Our South Yorkshire based pharmacies offers hearing screenings, ear diagnostics, microsuction wax removal, and more—right in your community.
Why Prioritizing Ear & Hearing Health is Essential
Good hearing health is vital for people of all ages. Excessive earwax, misuse of cotton buds, or in-ear headphones can contribute to blocked ears, infections, and hearing loss.
If left untreated, hearing difficulties can cause fatigue, social withdrawal, and even increase the risk of dementia. That’s why regular ear checks are crucial for maintaining overall well-being.
Signs You May Need a Hearing Check or Wax Removal
Watch for these symptoms, as they could indicate earwax buildup or other ear health issues:
✅ Hearing loss or muffled sound
✅ Blocked ears or earache
✅ Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
✅ Dizziness or loss of balance
✅ Ear discomfort, itching, or discharge
✅ Persistent coughing
If you notice any of these signs, book an ear examination and hearing check at our Doncaster clinic.

FAQs
How to Open a Blocked Ear at Home?
If your ear feels blocked, try gentle home remedies like:
- Yawning or swallowing to help equalize ear pressure.
- Steam inhalation to loosen mucus if congestion is the cause.
- Using olive oil drops to soften earwax (avoid if you suspect infection).
However, if the blockage persists, professional microsuction at a TympaHealth-equipped clinic is the safest and most effective solution. Unlike ear syringing, microsuction gently removes wax without using water, reducing the risk of infection or further blockage.
My Ear Feels Blocked and I Can’t Hear Properly
A blocked ear and hearing loss could be due to:
✅ Earwax buildup
✅ Middle ear infections
✅ Sinus congestion
✅ Eustachian tube dysfunction
If home remedies don’t work, a hearing check using TympaHealth technology can accurately diagnose the cause. If wax is responsible, microsuction removes it safely, restoring clear hearing immediately.
How to Clear a Blocked Ear?
To clear a blocked ear, avoid using cotton buds, as they push wax deeper. If you suspect earwax buildup, microsuction is the most effective and safest method. At one of our Doncaster, Rotherham, Barnsley or Scunthorpe based clinics, TympaHealth-trained specialist Pharamcists use high-definition imaging to assess your ear before performing painless microsuction for instant relief.
How to Get Rid of a Blocked Ear?
If your ear is blocked due to wax, cold, or congestion, you can:
- Use steam inhalation for congestion-related blockages.
- Avoid inserting objects like cotton swabs.
- Seek professional earwax removal if symptoms persist.
At our South Yorksire based clinics, we provide a quick, painless microsuction procedure that safely removes excess wax and clears your ear immediately.
Why is My Ear Blocked?
A blocked ear can result from:
- Earwax buildup (common cause of sudden hearing loss).
- Cold, flu, or sinus infections causing congestion.
- Changes in air pressure (e.g., flying or diving).
- Ear infections or fluid buildup.
If earwax is the problem, microsuction can clear it quickly and safely. If the cause is unknown, a TympaHealth hearing check can identify the issue.
Why Does My Ear Feel Blocked?
If your ear feels full or muffled, it may be due to wax, infection, or Eustachian tube dysfunction. While some cases clear naturally, persistent blockages require a professional ear check.
Using TympaHealth’s advanced diagnostics, our specialists can examine your ear canal, check for wax, infection, or other issues, and recommend the best treatment.
How to Open a Blocked Ear at Home Due to Cold?
If your ear is blocked from a cold or sinus congestion, try:
✔ Steam inhalation or a warm compress
✔ Staying hydrated to thin mucus
✔ Chewing gum or swallowing frequently
✔ Using Decongestants
If congestion-related blockages persist, a hearing check at a TympaHealth clinic can help determine whether wax removal or another treatment is needed.
