He now works out of his clinic, The Hear Clinic in Leicester, where he helps people to hear properly again on a daily basis. “Not being able to hear can not only lead to cognitive decline, but social withdrawal and depression," he explained. “Therefore, I feel privileged to be able to make a difference in someone’s life by allowing them the opportunity to reconnect with their surroundings and loved ones.
” Earwax removal is now big business as many NHS GP practices do not always offer it as a service any more. In fact, two-thirds of sufferers had been told ear wax removal was no longer available at their GP surgery, a survey of 1,400 people conducted by the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID) found. In the gross video, Neel can be seen pulling ten bizarre items from the ears of his patients.
This includes a hearing aid battery, a silicone tip from an at-home ear cleaner,.
