Many residents at care homes, residential homes, nursing homes and retirement communities suffer from ear wax related issues such as hearing loss and struggle to get the required care. At Ark Wax Removal we understand the difficulties for these residents and their caregivers, which is why we have a dedicated team providing ear examination, assessment and removal services to residents within these settings.

Benefit for residents

  • The World Health Organisation states “Hearing loss is the largest modifiable risk factor for age related dementia – responsible for >8% of cases of dementia in older adults.” Improving hearing through proper ear wax management contributes to a better quality of life for residents, enhancing their overall well-being and social engagement.

  • No need to travel to a healthcare facility which is useful for residents who face challenges in traveling due to limited mobility or transportation constraints.

  • Elderly individuals who may feel anxious or fearful about the procedure are more likely to seek or consent to ear wax removal services within their own residence.

  • Swift access to professional ear wax removal helps in addressing potential hearing issues promptly, preventing complications associated with untreated ear wax buildup.

  • Residents using hearing aids reduce delay in getting the ear wax removal service which is crucial as accumulated wax can cause damage and compromise sound clarity, affecting the devices’ effectiveness.
