Excess ear wax now ringing in ears

I'm following this thread with interest as I'm struggling with loud tinnitus and dizziness at the moment. I'm hoping to speak to a Dr today. I had to book assistance flying back to the UK yesterday. If there's a long wait to see someone I will be asking for a referral letter. I can't go on like this. I was very sick.

DH makes a lot of wax since wearing hearing aids, has microsuctioning quite regularly, costs £60 now, but waiting time on the NHS is ridiculous.

Money well spent.

HeavenLeigh* you should put drops in both ears tonight to make it easier for the microsuctioning. Each place is different but at the last, nobody would touch my ears until I had put drops in for 10 days.

Microsuctioning is so easy, quick and totally pain-free.

I have mine microsuctioned twice a year, not painful, might ‘tickle’, the worse bit is when they show you the picture and the gunk!!

Mine will cost £70 and worth every penny if it helps

Microsuction's not uncomfortable (unless you, like me once, get it done by a harrassed ENT registrar in a hurry, & that's unlikely!) but it does make me cough sometimes, just an annoyance though.
I need to use an olive oil spray beforehand to soften everything, but this isn't as neccessary as with syringing.

Thankyou Wyllow.yes I was given sodium bicarbonate drops too I don’t think it’s really done anything nor has the olive oil drops . Will see what the audiologist says tomorrow,

It's bliss. Far more comfortable than old school syringing.
Lots of places do it privately as the NHS seldom do it now. I go about every 3 months as I wear hearing aids, costs around £60

It's definitely worth a try as long as the doctor has not suggested it's contraindicated. Had it and it helped some time ago.

I lost nearly all my hearing in both ears 3 weeks ago and my tinnitus got worse all which was very frightening and assumed it was wax.

I was given Sodium Bicarbonate drops for one ear which was wax and the other ear turned out to have an inflammation which caused the hearing loss and given drops against the inflammation. Result - Better than for some time. took about 9 days for both ears.

Good luck for a great outcome, if it doesn't work out as well as you'd hoped talk to the audiologist? Could be other issues?

I’m looking forward to being able to hear Salti

My husband had microsuction on his ears a few weeks ago. It took a few minutes and improved his hearing immeasurably.
