BBC Report Highlights That Millions Of People Are Missing Out On Free NHS Earwax Removal

A recent BBC report has highlighted an issue in relation to lack of access to earwax removal on the NHS. Almost 10 million people in England can no longer access free NHS earwax removal services, the RNID has warned.

The hearing loss charity said there was “no medical reason” for the withdrawal of NHS services across parts of England since 2019.

Although the report has focused on England, the position in Scotland is much the same.

The report highlights a growing trend of people trying to remove ear wax themselves using methods that it describes as ‘dangerous’. The full report can be found here
