After a recent review of our activity with regards to ear syringing, and the availability of trained staff to carry out this procedure we have decided to cease offering ear syringing to patients, unless specifically requested by audiology services. This means that we will no longer be able to offer you an ear syringe appointment.
Due to availability of trained staff to carry out ear syringing procedures we have ceased offering ear syringing to patients, unless specifically requested by audiology services. Whilst we do not recommend any individual organisation, for your convenience we have provided a list of several local providers that we are aware of who provide ear syringing privately, and we attach details of these for you to contact should you wish to.
Please also find attached the advice for treating ear wax using softening drops which if applied regularly for several weeks can resolve the problem without the need for a syringe.
