[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2273517, member: 94045"] I have a perennial problem with ear wax due to inheriting my dad's very narrow ear canals. In the old days I used to have them syringed at the GP surgery, but they stopped doing it a few years ago. My GP recommended a local private audiologist, and that is where I now go. I am now in desperate need of her. Of course, she had to close down when lockdown happened. She is re-opening on the 16th June and I managed to book an appointment with her on that day. Her clinic is located in a local leisure place. She sent me the following email: [I]To try to give you some reassurance, I am / have been isolating at home in the anticipation of re starting. The gym remains closed and the other two businesses up stair have not re started. There are some refurbs going on in the rear gym, so there may be an electrician but otherwise we will be the only ones in the building.. We will both be wearing FFP2 fluid resistant masks ( I will provide) I additionally will be wearing a visor, gloves & apron. I will initially use a wireless camera to inspect the ears, so will be at arms length. There is an additional screen/visor which is attached to the microscope to separate us during ear wax removal proceedure. We have had to implement a strict protocol due to the nature and proximity of the procedures. I will send over the consent form and pre appointment triage questions, If I could ask that you respond in advance of the appointment.[/I] The triage questions all relate to Covid - have I had it, have I any symptoms (the symptoms all listed), same for anyone else in my household, am I or anyone else in the household shielding. Etc etc etc. I am very well re-assured that it will be as safe as possible, but have no idea how I will manage with the mask. [/QUOTE]
