Not sure where you live but I had it done for free in Scotland a few months ago. Painless and quick.
Off the back of this thread, I googled places that do it locally (Shropshire). I was pleasantly surprised to see that my GP surgery does the micro suction thingumy for free. They do prioritise people with a referral from audiology to have it done, so anyone else may have a bit of a wait which is fair enough. I DIY mine with warm water from a syringe with a special silicone multi jet tip. It shifts some, but I never get the same immediate improvement in hearing I used to get after an old school syringing when they used to do that. That may just be because of age related deafness? I'll ring the GP and get them to stick their hoover nozzle in there.
Jet wash?
Yup, twice a week with warm water after swimming, no more problems:
Burn the candle at both ends.
I worked in Saudi a long tome ago and the pharmacist gave me hydrogen peroxide drops. I was dubious but they worked. Lovely fizzy sound whilst they did their work.
Isn't this basically what Otex is?
specsavers - 10mins - jobs a goodun.
did get it done free once at the docs but specsavers is quicker/easier to get it sorted.
Often get serious cloggage in my right ear.
Over the counter stuff is OK, but doesn't cure the problem. Have to have microsuction done about once a year.
Audiologist says it's mainly due to very thin ear canal and it also isn't straight.
Blessed relief whenever it's done.
NHS won't even do syringe now.
