Calls for NHS to restore earwax removal services

The Limping Chicken blog reports that the RNID’s survey uncovered a variety of home-made techniques using hairclips and toothpicks among other methods.

Perhaps most worryingly, 10% of the survey’s 1,500 respondents reported that their attempts to remove earwax made the problem worse or even led to them needing medical attention.
