Is it easy enough to have done? (i know what the process involves)

Ive been told my TV is realllly loud, and sometimes my ears do feel blocked and of late have been popping sometimes...

Is this enough for me to have this done? Ive always had really waxy ears, i think id benefit.

Sure i saw something about them clamping down on who gets done though?

Would i just get told to try the olive oil etc first? X

did anyone see this ? what did you think ?

Hello again. :)
The first question you're asked is "have you been putting oil in?". As long as you've been keeping the lug lubed for a week beforehand you should have no problem with them moving that plug of wax. No syringes any more but hitech pumps and warm water.
Some say that once you start you need to attend regularly but this guy says get it done if it's needed and worry about the rest later.

Tinks!! You a nurse too - nothing smaller than an elbow in your ear (at home that is). Try oil for a week and if no different go see practice nurse.

Cheap as you can get will do the job. Get a droper from the chemist and put in two or three drops a couple of times a day. No cotton buds or anything else.
I do one ear at a time in case I end up completely deaf during th e treatment period.
