It used to be that is you had a heavy wax buildup in your ears, your doctor or a nurse or PA would clean it out for you.
But starting about ten years ago, that changed. Now they just tell you to buy an ear-cleaning kit with fluid from a pharmacy and do it yourself.
At least, that's how it is in the USA now. I wonder if it's like that in other parts of the world?

“It’s Like A Comedy Material”: How #Whale #Earwax Is Spilling #Ocean’s Secrets
In 19th century, researchers began collecting wax plugs found in ear canals of deceased #whales. These deposits – which can reach up to .5m (1.6 feet) – form continually over the animal’s lifespan, and so can reveal its personal history, spilling secrets including its age, the environmental pollutants it has been exposed to, and the hormonal responses it has experienced throughout its life.

If you are wondering why I haven’t paid for ear wax removal since the lockdowns, it’s because I discovered you can get referred by your GP if you are in #Norfolk or #Norwich to this place...don’t be fobbed off or made to go private:

As a hard of hearing person #Covid hit my communication skills and my wallet. In 3 years we’ve drifted into a situation where ear wax is no longer routinely removed at GP surgeries. I paid £50 an ear to get them microsuctioned in 2020 and 2021 lockdowns because I could no longer hear my own children and I was desperate. It sounds trivial, but without #NHS #EarWax removing services hard of hearing people are silenced.
