Why do the ear wax clinic keep calling me?

I do realise none of you can actually answer this but I’m here to hear all your theories!

I’ve had ear wax removed 3 times in about a 2 year period from a particular clinic near me. The last time was sometime last year. In the last 2 months they keep calling me while I’m at work (which is why I’ve never answered their calls) leaving me voicemails asking me to call them back. Each time I try I can never get through. I just want to know what they want from me but I can never get to speak to them so I’m asking all of you instead: what are they calling for???

Ok, well I clearly don’t need any more responses because this has to be it! Although one of my ears is actually blocked so they can get an appointment from me if they can manage to call when I can actually answer!

I will leave a review and see if that ends the voicemails then. The lady I see is genuinely really lovely and I always get some free olive oil drops and a nice chat - will that do as a review do you think?

They’re probably going to suggest you have it done again, prophylactic ear syringing.

It sounds positive and that can’t be bad!

Email them to find out what they want with your details.

Email them for goodness sake, especially if you need an appointment.

Is it a private clinic? as I understand that some (all?) GPs dont do ear syringing anymore..

I have recently been bombarded with daily phone calls from Boots for eye tests to the point where I blocked them. Presumably they want the repeat fee?

They want permission to sell your ear wax to Madam Tussauds.

They are more than welcome to do so as long as they tell me who they’re making so I can go and view who my wax made. I’m feeling very Father Jack right now.
