Clearer Hearing Todmorden

We are pleased to announce that from February 2021, we are providing an ear wax removal service at Physio and Therapies Clinic in Todmorden. Excessive ear wax build up can cause symptoms such as reduced hearing, a “blocked” sensation, itching, discomfort or tinnitus. It can also cause hearing aids to whistle and work less effectively. Recent changes within the NHS mean that GP’s are less able to remove ear wax and referrals to ENT services mean a long wait and heavy reliance on NHS services. We can offer a local, quick, Covid safe service with a minimal waiting time. The treatment is usually completed within 30 minutes and does not require any preparation although we recommend application of olive oil for a couple of night before treatment. We use microsuction alongside an endoscope to visualize and safely remove earwax, dry skin and foreign bodies. This treatment is recommended by NICE guidelines. We can also use specialist instruments and a safe variation of traditional ear irrigation (syringing) as required. Microsuction can be used even in the event of most previous ear conditions including grommets and long term perforated eardrums. All recommended COVID guidelines are adhered to using appropriate PPE. WE require our our clients to wear a mask unless they are exempt
