Many people suffer regular build up of wax in their ears which frequently feels uncomfortable and may impair hearing. If you wish to have the wax removed it helps if you can apply a few drops of Otex or olive oil in to the ear(s) for about three days before you attend. This helps soften the wax and makes the procedure more comfortable for you. The wax is usually removed using a special device that introduces a low pressure jet of water in to the ear canal.
In the event you are found to have ear wax you will be advised accordingly and if necessary referred for hearing tests or specialist opinion.
