A very interesting before and after post! 👂

The pictures in the comments show the occluded ear canal before ear wax removal, midway through the wax removal and also shows the outside of the clear ear canal afterwards.

This was a very interesting case as you can see. The growth at the entrance of the ear canal is in fact an osteoma. An osteoma is a bony growth. Often they dont require treatment, but I advised this client to seek GP opinion. The client was then onward referred to ENT.
Due to the size and location of this osteoma the plan is to remove it, to prevent hearing issues developing if / when it grows bigger.

Please protect the delicate structure of your ears and consult an Audiologist or Ear Care Nurse for your ear wax removal appointments.

Extracts from a recent BBC News article regarding the unsafe practice from some earwax removal providers:

A registered ear care nurse has warned of the dangers of unregulated earwax removal services, saying patients are being put at risk.
Regulation around ear wax removal services remains limited and anyone who completes a course can offer these services.
"An awful lot of beauticians are doing ear care after a one-day course," the nurse said.
"Sometimes they are causing damage to the ear canal not doing the procedure in the correct way and don't actually manage to clear the wax either."
The nurse said patients being injured by unqualified providers was a "common" issue, adding: "We get that all the time."

Claire Benton, president of the British Academy of Audiology (BAA), said efforts were under way to regulate the service and while training courses could teach earwax removal, the real risk lay in providers lacking the medical knowledge to identify underlying issues.
She said growing concerns around patient safety had led to the formation of the National Aural Care Strategy Group, which aims to introduce fair and consistent regulation for professionals and set minimum training standards to ensure safe practice.

Is your ear feeling blocked? Let’s clear things safely 👂

Here’s what every ear needs to know about wax:
• Ear-wax isn’t the enemy – it’s your body’s natural protection for your ear canal.
• You only need to worry when it starts causing trouble: blocked hearing, fullness, discomfort, tinnitus or pain.
• Please don’t insert cotton buds, or any other object into your ear canal – they usually make things worse by pushing the wax deeper or risking damage.
• DIY options can help soften or loosen wax (oil drops, gentle rinsing) but they aren’t always enough - especially if it’s impacted.
• That’s when professional removal is the safe, effective choice. At Munro Hearing Solutions, I specialise in microsuction - a gentle method of removing wax using a tiny suction tool under direct vision. It’s comfortable, effective and safe for those tricky ear-wax problems. Plus as an experienced Audiologist, you'll also benefit from a professional ear health consultation once your wax has been safely removed.

If you’ve noticed reduced hearing, a sense of blockage or previous wax removal attempts havent worked, text me on 07799824439 to book an aural care consultation and safe ear wax removal.
You will always be seen by an experienced Audiologist, never a healthcare assistant or 'aural care practitioner'.

Let me help you enjoy clear hearing again!

Another set of interesting before and after photos 👂

The pictures in the comments show the occluded ear canals before and after ear wax removal by microsuction.

What makes this another interesting case is the appearance of the tympanic membrane (ear drum) in the after photo.

You can see two circular areas on the tympanic membrane; at 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock. It is not clear from looking at these whether they are perforations or scar tissue. My personal opinion is that they may be scar tissue due to some of the light from the otoscope reflecting back. The location of these circles is a common location for grommet insertion, so a history of previous grommet insertion is the likely cause.

The only way to determine for sure if these areas are scar tissue or perforations is to examine under an ENT microscope or to perform tymapnometry, which is a pressure test carried out by an audiologist.

I suggested that this client may want to seek a GP opinion as to whether an ENT or Audiology referral would be beneficial.
