INTRODUCTION
At Clearwax we strive to develop and manufacturer the most innovative cerumen management solutions which aim to benefit both specialists and their patients.
This includes our flagship device the ‘iCLEARscope®’ wireless oto-endoscope which provides an unparalleled field of view of the inside of the ear when removing cerumen.
More recently, we have developed the ‘WAXscope®’ which is a portable, easy-to-use ‘exoscope’ that provides high-level magnification and a specula fitting to help dilate and straighten the external auditory meatus. In addition, we have also created our own ‘Rai’ range of ENT micro-instruments for more effective, efficient and ergonomic manual removal of cerumen.
Finally, we provide high-level cerumen management training using both the iCLEARscope® and WAXscope®. This is for the below suitably qualified clinicians and assistants who are wanting to extend their scope of practice and have the appropriate post-qualification experience (and supervision) where highlighted:-
- Audiologists (>3 months post-qualifying experience)
- ENT
- GPs (>3 months post-qualifying experience)
- Physician Associates (>3 months post-qualifying experience)
- Nurses & Paramedics (who routinely perform otoscopy with >1 year experience)
- Hearing Care Assistants (employed with >2 years post-qualifying experience and access to direct or non-direct supervision from one of the above listed and trained clinicians)
NB: We do not provide training to any other clinicians and assistants other than those listed above. Additionally, we regrettably do not accept enquiries from Nurses & Paramedics who’s experience of otoscopy is via training provided by training companies who are known to also train non-suitably qualified clinicians as well as non-clinicians. The level of this training is highly-questionable.

ACCREDITATION
Currently, there is no professional body accepting new applications for accreditation. This is whilst new training guidelines are being urgently published by relevant key stakeholders and professional bodies. This is in direct response to previous attempts by other professional bodies to attempt to legitimise the training of non-clinicians to perform cerumenectomy. Clearwax were instrumental in ensuring these attempts did not come to fruition and have been actively consulted in the development of the new training guidelines. Indeed, our Clearwax Cerumen Management Course is likely to exceed the guidelines set in the new proposals and so we will review the necessity and cost implications (which will inevitably have to be passed onto candidates) for any new accreditation once published.
