Is Ear Syringing safe?

Ear Suction Hawkes Bay

The great majority of GP’s in Hawke’s Bay have stopped removing ear wax by water syringing but surprisingly, it’s still being used in Hawke’s Bay.

We see a lot of clients who have had bad experiences with ear syringing or where it just hasn’t worked and we’re not at all surprised at the results of a large UK study on the effectiveness of ear syringing set out below:

- Failure of ear wax removal occurred in 29% of cases
- Otitis media and Otitis externa (middle and external ear infections respectively) occurred in 17% of cases
- Ear drum perforation occurred in 15% of cases
- Trauma to the external ear canal occurred in 11% of cases

So as you’ll see, in comparison with microsuction, it’s a lot less effective and a lot less safe. In contrast, microsuction:

- May be used even in the presence of ear drum perforation
- It is the only technique safe to use for wax/debris removal in the presence of an external or middle ear infection
- Complication rates are vastly reduced in comparison with

Seems pretty convincing, don’t you agree?

Free large soft soap pump bottles

I have several of these bottles that used to have body wash or shampoo in them, that I am giving away. They're ideal if you make your own body wash, liquid hand soap or shampoo /conditioner.

They're ideal if you make your own body wash, liquid hand soap or shampoo /conditioner. Or perhaps for children's paint. Or put steriliser tablets through them and fill them with condiments. 😁
I'm sure there are more uses.

I always rinse these out and save them because they still seem so useful and recycling is so inefficient that I consider it the last stop, only after reducing and reusing have been exhausted.

DOG STUFF FOR SALE: (not the dogs....lol)
3 x Ezi dog (quick clip) harnesses - modelled on Zidi (1 small and 2 medium) $30 each. Has the d-ring for the seat belt clip.
1 x Canny collar (size 3) brand new, never needed it on Zidi. $40. The canny is a great one for dogs that pull like mad, they act like a horse halter. If the dog manages to get the loop off the nose, you can be assured that you still have them as the loop operates directly off the collar. For more information on this collar, look up www.cannyco.com...

1 x Ezi dog harness, size XL (shown on Mia). It has stretched out a bit so is a bit big for her. She is around a medium Lab size so would suit a dog a bit bigger than that. Has the d-ring for clipping to a seat belt clip. New these are $63 and up, only had for a month. This one for sale for $45.

PM me for any other details. :)

Price: $30
