Audiologist and ENT specialist up and down the country and trying to get ear wax removal regulated. Not all ear issues are caused by wax and you have to have knowledge around the subject to be able to advise people who come to your clinic. People often think it must be wax with what they feel and when we tell them there is no wax, it is often met with Shere disappointment. The patient has expected the procedure we offer would resolve all their issues and they will walk away with their hearing restored.
Not always is it wax and it can be complicated, it begs questions how the ear wax removal industry has spiralled out of control and still not regulated. The amount of people who are going to people who fail to remove their ear wax or simply hurt them in the process.
I saw a lady yesterday who told me her daughter got it done by someone and found it really painful. It hurt her a lot. So she was a little nervous and thought I'll also be hurting her. Microsuction shouldn't be painful.
