If you think you are deaf because of wax or if you are deaf and you don't know why, you should see the practice nurse to have the ear checked. If we find it is indeed wax, we will advise the olive oil treatment. We will not contemplate further treatment until we are satisfied the olive oil treatment has been properly conscientiously carried out for at least 4 weeks.
If ear wax problems are not resolved after conscientious use of this treatment over an acceptable period of time, you should consult with a suitably trained nurse or your Doctor, to decide on the next course of action.
