    @longk I was thinking that Nigel meant the scab was on the inside of the ear drum - i.e. in the inner ear. If it were the outer ear then syringing would get it. Although syringing is falling out of favour these days, micro-suction is the safest method according to my ENT consultant. It's a kind of minature dyson she uses :)

        Then let's be grateful for small mercies ;) :heehee:

        My youngest is currently having his syringed: 3 times in the right ear (so far!) and 2 lots in the left ear :huh:

          Ouch, you were very lucky not to do more damage.
          Thanks all for the good wishes I'll feed back what happened.

            Well the good news is that the eardrum has healed, the bad news is that there is a moderate to severe hearing loss. The consultant thinks this is due to inner ear damage. So I have an MRI scan in a few weeks followed by a further consultation next year.
