Ear Irrigation

 Before you self refer for ear irrigation, please note this should NOT be carried out on patients with the following:
 
  • The patient has previously experienced complications following this procedure in the past
  • There is a history of a middle ear infection in the last six weeks
  • The patient has undergone ANY form of ear surgery (apart from grommets that have extruded at least 18 months previously and it is documented subsequently that the tympanic membrane is intact)
  • A history of ear perforation
  • There is a history of a mucous discharge in the past twelve months
  • There is evidence of acute otitis externa with pain and tenderness of the pinna
 
Please use oil for at least two weeks before and up until the date of their appointment to make sure that the wax is soft enough for irrigation. This can be obtained for free via your local pharmacy or widely available in shops.
