Consent

Ear wax removal via micro suction is considered safer than other methods such as syringing. The procedure will be performed by a qualified trained clinician following guidelines written by The Hearing Lab & The British Society of Audiology. Complications of ear wax removal with micro suction are uncommon; however possible complications, side-effects and material risks inherent in the procedure include but are not limited to: incomplete removal of ear wax requiring a return visit (for severely impacted wax), minor bleeding, discomfort, ringing in the ear (tinnitus), perforation of the ear drum and hearing loss.

To ensure the risk of complication is minimal, it is essential that accurate past medical history is supplied to the clinicians. In addition, it is important that the patient remains relatively still during the procedure as sudden movement may significantly increase the risk of ear drum perforation, permanent hearing loss and/or bleeding. The CE marked suction unit is to remove fluids from the airway or respiratory support system and infectious materials from wounds and has been adapted for aural micro suction.

By agreeing to these terms and conditions you accept that you have read and understand the possible complications that may occur and agree that the clinical ear care specialists carrying out today’s procedure cannot not be held responsible for them. These records shall be kept for a minimum of 7 Years as recommended by BSHAA.
