Ear Wax Removal before Hearing Aid Clinic: In recent months on a number of occasions we have regrettably not been able always to provide an appointment for this. If we are unable to see you to remove any ear wax before your Hearing Aid appointment in Grogan’s Road, some of the Audiology providers in Wexford Town are now offering this service also eg Hidden Hearing (https://www.hiddenhearing.ie/ear-wax-removal-service).
Covid-19
