In most cases you will need to see the doctor before you have your ears irrigated to make sure that it is safe to do so.
We will then ask you to complete a checklist for ear irrigation to assess if it is safe for your ears to be irrigated in the surgery or whether you will need to be referred to hospital. You will be asked to sign a consent form which you will need to present to the nurse before your ears can be irrigated.
