Removal of wax for cooperative young children who have impaired hearing
ear wax is leading to blocked ears and hearing loss. Before any of these could happen, a fullness discomfort is common.
According to the statistics, the chances of wax accumulating are increased by the use of external objects in the ear canal- hearing aids and cotton buds are the first 2 places.
Carried out at our excellent rodney street clinic, we charge £55 for one ear wax removal and £75 for both ears. There will be a video otoscopic examination before and after the procedure to show you the results. If the problem isn't a blocked ear, then a hearing test may be carried out and/or referral advice may be given (£55).
Clinical ear care, otherwise known as wax removal, can be very beneficial to people using hearing aids to increase the usefulness of their aids. We call wax removal clinical ear care as we are able to use a variety of techniques in one session. These techniques may not all be needed and we would try for microsuction ear wax removal first. This is very safe and a more comfortable procedure than syringing. It involves using a sterile suction device to gently remove the wax. Using microsuction allows the user the freedom to avoid contact with the skin in the ear canal, which is where discomfort would arise.
If you have produced a lot of wax or it has been pushed deeper into the ear canal, a blockage can occur. Symptoms of a blockage may include: sudden, temporary hearing loss pressure inside your ear pain those with a hearing aid might find they are not working as well was they should at this point you must not attempt to poke anything inside your ears, as you will push the blockage in deeper, but you should get the wax removed professionally.
Can my GP remove my ear wax?
Rob cooke 12:25 22 dec 19 i took my 9yo son to see julie to remove a build up of wax in one of his ears. He had issues with his ears (especially after swimming) for years, and as a result, he was very uncomfortable with the idea of anything or anyone going near them. He could not have made it much more difficult for julie than he did - wriggling and squirming and getting upset, but julie was incredibly patient. It was only julie’s kind temperament and wealth of experience which allowed us to get the treatment finished and avoid the whole process being too traumatic for my little lad.
