National charity, RNID, is concerned that many people are risking their hearing by trying to remove problematic ear wax themselves, as they are unable to access wax services
on the NHS. The charity is calling for fully funded ear wax removal services to be brought back into primary and community care settings, in line with National Institute for Health and
Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, and for the NHS to clarify how people can safely manage ear wax build-up themselves at home.
