I cannot say if it is a waste of time Cashy…….but usually before they attempt to remove wax, they ask you to use ear drops for a week so that any hard wax is soft enough to remove more easily.
My understanding is that GP’s no longer offer this service of removing earwax…..but it is done commercially at the patients expense ( this can be as much as £50 per ear).
Makes you think this is a creeping commercialisation of services that used to be done by the practices(usually a suitably trained practice nurse).
