The
Acu-Life Ear Syringe is used by professionals as well as home users. The
Hearing Lab Ltd has been training audiologists, GPs, and nurses in aural Micro
Suction ear wax removal since 2013. In fact, the majority of audiologists in
the UK have been trained by The Hearing Lab. Micro Suction has long been
considered the safest, most gentle and effective procedure for removing wax.
However, when the wax is considered too deep to be removed 100% safely by micro
suction, everyone we’ve trained, has at some point used the Acu-Life syringe to
finish the job, risk free.
As
an audiologist, I have seen some horrible accidents that have been caused by
home and professional syringing and I was extremely sceptical when a colleague
suggested the Acu-Life syringe. After studying the design of the tri-flow tip
and using my knowledge of the ear’s anatomy, I knew that this was a great new
product. So simple, I wish I’d thought of it myself! After testing it on myself
and other audiologists who all concurred with my findings, I introduced it into
our training program. We include one in every trainee's standard equipment
pack as we feel that it's such an essential piece of kit.
In
my personal opinion, there are only two products that I would advocate for home
use ear wax removal for adults. The Acu-Life Ear Syringe and olive oil ear drops.
If these don’t work then you need to see a professional and preferably one who
is an experienced micro suction practitioner.
