That’s a bit steep, they would probably clear there selves if you put a couple of drops of Luke warm olive oil in each ear twice a day for 7 days. Have they not told you to do that to soften any wax for syringing anyway. If not olive oil some sort of ear drops

I would say half the country are now using the virus has an excuse to not work,well the rest of us have to work, had a whole week of excuses not permitted to do this or the other because of covid piss takers

been using olive oil for weeks lads, ive just got back having my ears syringed and I don't feel any better I have yo go have hearing aids fitted next Saturday morning

[iworkwhippets 12,603]

it isnt so much about the hearing, i just feel dizzy, i thought perhaps the syringing would do the trick , but i feel no different, i told the nurse who syringed my ears and she said lets see how you go on next week when u come in to have your aids fitted

That’s sounds like an ear infection to me if you are feeling dizzy, did you tell that to the Dr ?

Just walk out without paying, if anyone says anything tell them you were def at the time of the consultation and thought it was free

I'm told I need hearing aids also, and the cost??? 2k with a grant..... Hell no, but the tinnitus is a balls to live with

[Ken's Deputy 4,460]

Jigsaw, I was interested in what you are saying, so I just put mine in. Sounds were certainly then clattering about me. But, the tinnitus? Can't genuinely say I could hear a lot of difference. Bit more like tinnitus, over laid by someone putting a cup down with a mighty crash.

Tidy getting hearing aids as my granddads batteries used to fit the knocker box for the ferrets

I've just been suffering with what could be tinnitus. For a few weeks now I've been hearing my heartbeat whooshing away in my ear. 

Thankfully it has now eased off and just about gone.
