I rang the other day to ask for an appointment to have my ears syringed. I was told that you no longer carry out this service. I was astounded to hear that you recommended that you go to Boots and buy a kit for about £9.00 and do it yourself.
I was always told by medical professionals that you should not put anything in you ear for fear of damaging your ear drum. Now you recommend doing just that.
I was totally unable to hear so made arrangements with a micro suction clinic to have my ears unblocked. This was very sucessful but cost £70.00. I am lucky to be able to afford this other people could not.
What are they to do, stick things into their ears until they cause permanent damage to their hearing.
I would like to suggest that ear syringing is reintroduced. You could charge a nominal fee to be used for the good of the surgery.
