FAQ
Water irrigation is a refined method of earwax removal, evolving from traditional ear syringing. It employs a precise jet of water to flush out debris, wax, and foreign bodies from the ear canal. This technique targets the wall of the ear canal, minimising any risk to the tympanic membrane (eardrum), making it a safer option compared to its predecessor.
Water irrigation boasts a very high success rate in removing earwax. Except in specific cases where it’s contraindicated, like eardrum perforation, it’s considered safe for patients, offering a reliable and effective solution for earwax buildup.
Becoming a qualified earwax removal specialist opens up numerous possibilities:
- Fantastic Profitability: Command fees upwards of £40 for a 15–30-minute session.
- Flexible Working Hours: Work as much or as little as your schedule allows.
- Access to the Earwax Removal Specialists Network: Benefit from our referral system for consistent work.
- Mobile or In-Clinic Services: Offer earwax removal services either from your own space or by visiting patients where they are most comfortable.
While the course supplies all essential equipment for water irrigation training, participants need to bring their own loupes and an otoscope. We provide the option to purchase these items from us for those who need them.
Yes, lunch is provided to ensure you can stay focused on learning without worrying about meal arrangements.
