Ear Syringe

[Keith Tindell]

I don't know if this applies to all health authorities, but anyone in our HA, that has a problem with ear wax, this is no longer being done in HA, one of the places that now do this is Specsavers, syringe one ear £50, 2 ears £100, just info really

[Keith at Tregenna]

Never needed any more than warm olive oil, though people with a
ruptured eardrum should never put olive oil or other substances in the ear.

Very simple here in Oz.
Buy a bottle of ear wax softener, go to your GP and he will syringe it out, no worries and no cost.
Have mine done twice a year

Here in NZ ear syringing has just about done its dash in favour of suction like a vacuum cleaner. Strangely, I had ears syringed every 3 months for many years until it was found I was allergic to eggs. Haven't had an egg since, nor any wax. Nutty perhaps but????? So, can one eliminate/reduce wax by not eating eggs, or any food with egg content? Seems I have.

I never have eaten eggs, and still have earwax.

#7 That’s because when on these massive engine rooms you were on Tony you never wore the correct muffs for the area you were in . Now if you had stuck with your cotton wool , you would still have sonar operators hearing .
Maybe, Perhaps, Hopefully , !!! JS . What about scrambled eggs ? Bet you’ve had egg on your chin many a time

Your in the prime of youth yet Lewis, just think of all the other goodies waiting, best get drunk and forget if you can. That’s if your liver can stand the strain. If not keep on eaten onions . Am going to a coffee morning tomorrow at a pub of all places. Wives are invited. One old bloke is 101 and still going strong , ex navy of course. You’ll catch up with him be positive , cheers JS

that may be true John, but the stuff never passed my lips. Regarding ear muffs, first time I saw them was in 78/79 when the company issued 4 sets to shared by those on watch, they were scrap within two weeks. Desperately need on that job with EE diesel Genny with Napier turbo, the scream was physically painful, ike a needle being pushed in you ear. Probably why I have continuous hissing and ringing in my ears for years now.
