Product Information

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). All hospital ENT departments have the equipment and skills to do micro-suction but not all are able to offer the service to the general public. Some GP practices also do it and – increasingly – it is being offered by private providers (sometimes in association with hearing aid provision). Making a choice about treatment? Think BRAIN! If you’ve used ear drops before to soften ear wax, you might want to use the same again or try something different. Cost and availability may also be relevant. What if you do nothing? The aim was simple. Provide experienced, professional and accessible care to those who need it most. To enable access to ear wax removal in the comfort of their own home and allow them to complete their care on the NHS. When we talk about “having the wax removed by a health professional” what do we mean? In the past, this almost always meant having your ears ‘syringed’. This involved a health professional squirting warm water into the ear with a large syringe. The aim of this was to flush the wax out. But this system could only work in certain specific circumstances. The idea was that the jet of water from the nozzle of the syringe went past a lump of wax, hit the ear drum, bounced off the ear drum, and then – on its way out of the ear canal, the stream of water would carry the wax with it.

But if this doesn’t work, or there is no time to wait, your pharmacist or GP may suggest that you have the wax removed. This is usually done by a health professional. In these circumstances, they will often suggest that you use drops first (at least for a few days) to try and soften the wax before the removal is done. There are several benefits of this; it might lead to you not needing removal at all, or it may make the wax removal easier.Not many people taking part in the research studies had unwanted effects from ear drops and these were mild, such as slight irritation or pain or unpleasant smell. Every so often we come across a patient who is sensitive or allergic to one of the chemicals contained in some drops. This is more likely when the drops contain active compounds or preservatives. So this doesn’t happen with plain water drops. What are the alternatives? Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. We opened our 1st Hearing Care Clinic in October 2021 where we can fulfill the needs of the community by providing unbiased views of all ear related concerns. From noise and water protection, to flashing doorbells and TV help, to advice on NHS vs Private hearing aids.
