About us

Aural care refers to the safe and effective removal of excess wax, debris and foreign bodies from the outer ear canal. Aural care is considered an invasive procedure, requiring adequate vision and adequate fine motor skills to work within the minute space of an ear canal. Due to the wide variety of pathological ear conditions that can co-exist with ear wax, there are significant risks to patients’ safety if aural care is not conducted with a high level of knowledge, expert skills and competence. Significant concerns about patient safety have been raised by stakeholders across the hearing health sector around aural care. The National Aural Care Strategy Group (NACSG) has been founded to address the multiple and wide-ranging issues related to aural care in the UK. The group has agreed three strategic aims: • Standardise theoretical and practical training and maintain competency of those providing aural care • Update public facing information about aural care • Advocate for equitable access to safe and high-quality aural care services across NHS and non-NHS sectors

    It is not only about ear wax! Aural care refers to the safe and effective removal of excess wax, debris and foreign bodies from the outer ear canal. Due to the recent increase in social media presence of ear wax removal procedures, individuals’ first point of call for an occluded ear is removal of ‘ear wax’. There is so much more to this! Significant concerns have been raised across hearing health sector around patient safety in aural care. The National Aural Care Strategy Group (NACSG) has been founded to address these multiple and wide-ranging issues in the UK.
