So Happy New Year ! As we welcome in a new decade I have been looking forward to my second year in the wonderful world of ear wax removal.
I have just taken delivery of a new, superpower micro suction machine. This equipment is one of the most advanced on the market offering a high power suction to ensure the maximum performance and, hopefully, a quicker service to my clients. I have already started using it in my clinics in Havant, Petersfield, Bordon and Wickham and am already seeing the results of quicker and cleaner ear wax removal. This means less people having to go away to use olive oil for longer to further soften wax.
This year also sees BSA ( British Society of Audiologists) publishing their new regulations on the practice of ear wax removal. The industry is currently not regulated as the NHS historically offered it in surgeries. The new guidelines will give clear indicators of medical practices and required environments as well as who will be eligible to perform this procedure. It is generally agreed that audiologists are potentially the most appropriately educated and experienced professional to perform such a procedure and I, obviously, support this. Basically, I work with ears all day, every day, and have done for about 15 years. This means I am totally confident with the anatomy of the ear and thus, totally confident with my job of examining and removing was from client’s ears.
So, Happy New Year again and here’s to an exciting next decade.
