the NHS?

Because impacted wax causes dizziness and balance problems I am sure there will be a number of people who fall, break bones, wrench knees, get head injuries and all because GP
Practices cannot be bothered to deal with their patients wit earwax.
So yes…the financial impact on the NHS has to be considered.

Nope, according to Margaret the Doctors vampire will be doing that while he/she spends even more surgery time on the golf course:-

It seems that (according to MSM that is) GP’s receptionists are going to be trained to take blood.
So you have an even smaller chance of having your phone call picked up, or being able to book an appointment to see a health care professional…..getting to see a GP is looking like getting to see the pope.

That might just be the way to get to see a doctor, Putting on the form some obscure physical sex growth, bound to peek the Doctors curiosity and call you into the surgery for a looksee then when you get into the surgery and nothing abnormal is found, you just say, 'sorry my mistake, but seen as how I'm here you may as well syringe my ears I've an urgent appointment at the hospital to keep'.
 
i have been putting oil in my ears for years to have them syringed, also when i put oil in i have been putting in cotton wool as instructed, yesterday i got info telling me to put oil in saying i MUST NOT put cotton wool in when i do as it can cause problems, last week i was at the hospital,and was told i have a perforated ear drum, the cotton wool is likely to have caused it. the audiologist told me,as if you put it in deep it can cause it,so what the hell is going on?

I was also told (by the practice nurse at my doctors surgery), to put cotton wool into my ears after the olive oil but not to shove it too far in, only to put it in to stop the oil running back out. read into that as you wish.

FWIW I have one of the ear cameras.
The scoop that goes on it are plastic and break easily, however when it works it does allow me to see where the wax buildup is and direct the scoop towards it.

I only got 2 scoops with it and to get more it's gonna cost a fiver, however the camera is very useful.
It also works in places other than the ear.
I discovered I have a nasal polyp with it.

I got some safe+sound ear cleaners from Asda, they scoop it out without getting as far as the drum.

I use Earol often to soften it and reduce the itching.
Or ear olive oil from home bargains on a cotton bud rolled around inside sometimes prevents the itching.
(and before anyone chimes in about using cotton buds, I have been using them for 15 years and know how far in it is allowed to go).
 
If it makes you cough…it’s in too far :D ( as the bishop said to the actress).

Rainbow six, if it works for you then keep on doing what you are doing.
Ears are supposed to self cleaning….and like all things as you get older….the system sometimes gets less efficient.
You can use bi carb soda to reduce the build up of wax….suitably diluted with warm water.
I have a syringe and sometimes use this when I have washed my hair.
