Hi i need my ears syringing but apparently NHS do not do it anymore which is fair enough i suppose.

Any thoughts from you good people

Hi Eastend555 I also need ear syringing & have been waiting since end of May for this. I was told that NHS will do it again once the Covid 19 pandemic has died down whenever that will be. In the meantime I am using Earex quite regularly and also bought this from Amazon smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/produ... (I did check if my GP felt this was ok to use first)

I'm not sure if it has helped at all because I haven't seen any wax on the disposable tips but maybe the wax is quite deep in my ear. Hope you get some relief soon x

Hi EastEnders. My husband has the same problem. He has been using olive oil ( recommended by the nurse at our surgery) and earex to no avail. We/ he ( I bought, he used ) have tried most of the gadgets - water syringe -like things, strange twiddle sticks, little spoons and twiddle spirally things- all a waste of money.

Then I bought yet another device. It is a water container with a tube attached. You pump the water with a trigger . It works. He kept using the drops, as you would if you were getting your ears syringed at the doctors.

We got quite a lot of wax out on the first go. You also get a suction ball thing. He has also got some out using that. He ear is now just about clear.

I bought it from Amazon.

Iโ€™ll see if I can post a link.

Good morning Mr.D and i am so sorry but i couldn't hear you coz my ears are blocked up with ear wax. I don't suppose you know of any remedies......???

Seeing thereโ€™s a message addressed to me from you is enough to make me smile, even if I didnโ€™t quite catch what you said.๐Ÿ˜€x
