⚠️ Why Who Removes Your Ear Wax Really Matters
With NHS ear wax removal services reduced in many areas, more people are turning to private providers but not all ear wax removal services are properly regulated or clinically trained.
Registered ear care nurses and professional bodies have warned that unqualified providers, sometimes trained in just a one-day course, are increasingly offering ear wax removal. This has led to ear canal injuries, damaged eardrums, incomplete wax removal, and patients needing further treatment.
The real risk isn’t just the technique, it’s the lack of medical knowledge to recognise underlying ear conditions or know when it is unsafe to proceed.
