Patient self-referral for age related hearing loss services
NHS Conditions: Hearing loss

- If you are aged 55 or over and are experiencing hearing and communication difficulties and feel you might benefit from a hearing assessment and rehabilitation including the option of trying hearing aids
Earwax
If you suffer from earwax built up or suspect that you may have a build-up of earwax, please perform 2 weeks self-management as set out in the NHS ear wax leaflet. If you require a wax removal at your assessment appointment, this will be provided only if the self-management steps have been followed.
Do not perform earwax removal if you have any of the following symptoms and seek advice from the practice nurse or your GP:
- Pain
- Discharge
- Bleeding from your ear
- Sudden deafness or buzzing sound
- Foreign bodies in your ear
- Dizziness
If you require a wax removal at your assessment appointment, this will be provided only if the self-management steps have been followed.
