Hi ronshere.
This is the most interesting post I have read, in a long time.
I had my ears syringed at the hospital yesterday, as they have been bocked up for a while, reducing the HF considerably.
Afterwards, my hearing was amazingly loud. As I program my own NHS Nathos aids, it’s easy for me to make necessary adjustments.
However this morning, I have lost that wonderful hearing, and now have a reducer HF again.
I did notice an irritation in the right ear canal, and used a small sheet of toilet paper rolled tightly, pushed it into my ear, and it came out red/ brown colour, which I hope is not an infection.
I have used several wax removing remedies which did not work. I have tried Ear Calm, but cannot make my mind up about it, also hydrogen Peroxide, which I can hear fizzing in my ear. As does Otex Express, both of which take a long time to make any difference.
I used to have a Medigrade kit, but it broke. Upon this recommendation, I may get another.
I would question the use of warm water, as I was told unboiled water contained bugs. So I have always boiled it before using it. Please correct me if I’m wrong…
