o Currently to adhere to social distancing we are unable to carry out ear wax removal.
o However, our qualified audiologists recommend Sodium Bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate ear wax drops are alkaline, while ear wax is acidic. The drops will soften dry and hardened ear wax and slowly chemically dissolve the earwax, reducing the need for removal.
o Have you changed the waxguard/battery? If your aid is still not working, please post it (registered or insured post is recommended) to:
Duncan & Todd
14 Crown Terrace

Our team will look to repair and if needed will return to the manufacturer who will post it back direct to you. You will be informed at each stage of the process regarding what is required.
