My 4 year old son got Blu Tack stuck inside his ear. I called the ENT/Audiology Department at Barnstaple hospital for some advice of where to turn to get some help to get it out.
Our GP wouldn't see him and advised A&E. I didn't feel it was an emergency to deem an A&E visit. The Audiology team accommodated him the same day to try and get it out and then booked a follow-up to try again the following week.
They successfully retrieved the Blu Tack out of his ear with microsuction, thanks to their first-class skills. The team was so calm and friendly with a wriggly, inquisitive and sometimes upset 4 year old, and made us feel very welcome and at ease.
Amazing service and so accommodating. Thank you so much!
"Fantastic service from the Audiology team"
