Getting Ears Syringed - can ot be done privately?

[CC07 PEU]

I desperately need to get my left ear irrigated as I've been using oil in it for the last few days to help with wax removal. I can now hear virtually nothing out of my ear and cannot get an NHS appointment for at least another two weeks which is complete and utter fking bullst!

Does anybody know where I can pay to get this done privately? I'm in London so I'm hoping there will be somewhere.

My girlfriend went here:

I think it was £40 and she was happy with the results.

It's good to get a recommendation like this although it's in Oxford which is well out of the way for me.

I'll maybe need to visit Harley Street.

IO have micro suction all the time. £60 in and out 15 mins.

He tells me not to use oil....says it just swells the wax and makes things worse.....

Where do you get this done?

I'm amazed that you have to wait two weeks to see your practice nurse. I'd be moving to another practice.

They were able to offer me an appointment next Monday but it was at 2:30pm which isn't much use as I'm one of these people that has to work full time for a living and can't take that time off. I can't work from home that day to accommodate the appointment either. It's always a total ball ache trying to get these types of appointments.

I got my ears done this evening with micro suction at the Clear Ear Clinic in central London. The difference in my hearing now is absolutely incredible, I haven't been able to hear things this well for years!

It cost £80 which was OK for the convenience i.e. short turnaround time between appointment and treatment, central location. You don't have to use oil in your ears for days beforehand.
