title: 'Ear waxing lyrical'.
abstract: In response to Rosemary Cook's article 'Ear waxing lyrical' (Nursing Standard July 3), there is a lot more to ears than just syringing and there are a lot more joys to find than helping one elderly person. My survey among the elderly population of the area I work in showed that between 64-80 per cent of elderly people examined had some kind of ear problem.
