Ear For You North East

14/10/2025

Any 'Tom Dick or Harry' can buy ear wax removal kit off the internet and set up an ear wax removal business with zero regulations, zero training, zero qualifications, zero insurance, zero police checks, etc ... this never ceases to horrify me!

Anyone who knows me knows that it does get to me personally that this is the case and the government are choosing to not regulate this delicate clinical procedure. I feel so passionate that this sector should be regulated to keep the public safe.

This review has put a massive smile on my face tonight, it feels fantastic when I meet people who truly respect and understand the importance of being a Registered Nurse ran CQC regulated provider. Their child's health and safety is paramount and I'm honoured that they trusted me with their precious little ones ears. 💕

Busy FREE ear wax check clinic today up North in Alnwick (Shilbottle) at K-Chem Pharmacy...NHS Flu & covid vaccines administered plus FREE ear wax checks for everyone

66 people took advantage of the FREE ear wax checks, 56%* of those checked had ear(s) impacted with wax

This shows how common wax build up is...these were all 'opportunistic' checks and the patients didn't know they had ear wax impactions in their ear(s)

Ear wax build up can cause problems such as reduced hearing, tinnitus symptoms, discomfort, itchiness, dizziness, balance problems, infections...to name a few symptoms

By knowing they have a wax build up these patients can now receive treatment to remove the wax impaction

Patients were also given advice on hearing tests. They were advised that the ear wax removal sector isn't regulated at all (essentially anyone can set up a business). They were reassured that Ear For You North East is the ONLY Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulated ear wax removal provider in North Northumberland and it is led by a Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) regulated Registered Nurse ⭐

*Ear For You North East has done in excess of 3000 FREE ear wax checks since it was established in Aug 2023, the findings today are in line with the normal findings from previous clinics. On average 55% of people checked have wax impacted ears. Ear wax impaction is very common indeed

WELL DONE for all those involved (runners, spectators, organisers, charities, sponsors etc!) in the Great North Run yesterday. The atmosphere was amazing and the RAF red arrows making their ❤️ in the sky was spectacular and certainly a highlight for me!
