Better Than Ear Syringing!
At The Microsuction Earwax Removal Network, we only use microsuction to remove ear wax. Ear syringing (now known as “irrigation”), is offered by fewer and fewer GP surgeries due to the potential complications that may arise. Perhaps you have experienced ear irrigation multiple times without any issues. However, there have been enough injuries from ear irrigation, ranging from pain and minor bleeding, to perforated ear drums and vertigo, for the NHS to reassess whether it will continue to offer ear syringing. You can read about the potential complications from ear syringing here on the bmj website, or here on the NICE website.
