I meant to write about this earlier. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to appear on South Today with a small segment about Waxaxe and Hearing Ltd. They asked for people to contact them who had shut down in the first lockdown but were now able to operate in this current lockdown. …

My good news today is that I had the COVID vaccination at the weekend. As an audiologist doing close contact medical procedures such as micro suction ear wax removal, I qualified for the vaccine. The second jab is booked in April. Potential clients can now feel assured that, along with existing Covid protocols, my clinics …

Well here we are again, Lockdown 3, ho hum…. Unlike the lockdown earlier in 2020, ear wax removal is permitted to operate as it is a medical procedure.

This weird piece of headgear that makes me look boss eyed is a brand new way for me to see into client’s ears when I am doing the micro suction wax removal procedure. It is called an Oscope. I have always used loupes before which are magnifying glasses with a light. They worked well but …
