A middle-aged man, comes to the clinic and complaints of impaired hearing, particularly in his left ear, over the last couple of weeks, and that the ears feel full-up. He has no other symptoms and he does not take any medication. Upon further discussion, the patient mentions that he had his ears syringed a couple of years ago by the nurse at the GP’s surgery, and thinks he may need to go again.
