Mae cwyr clustiau (cerumen) yn gŵyn iechyd gyffredin a phroblemus. Mae’n arbennig o broblemus i bobl sydd eisoes â nam ar eu clyw gan ei fod yn dwysáu eu hanawsterau clywed. Gall hefyd achosi nifer o broblemau eraill gan gynnwys poen annifyr, pigyn clust a thinitws.  

  

Mae rhai meddygon teulu eisoes yn darparu gofal ar gyfer rheoli cwyr clustiau, ond mae llawer o gleifion yn cael eu hatgyfeirio i wasanaethau yn yr ysbyty. Yn aml, nid hwn yw’r llwybr cywir ar eu cyfer a gall arwain at amseroedd aros hirach.  

  

Bydd pob Bwrdd Iechyd yn gweithredu yn lleol i sicrhau bod pawb yng Nghymru yn gallu cael gwasanaethau rheoli cwyr clustiau mewn lleoliad gofal sylfaenol. Bydd y ddarpariaeth am ddim a bydd yn haws cael gafael arni. Bydd hyn yn lleihau’r angen i bobl orfod mynd at ddarparwyr preifat.  

  

Canfu astudiaethau fod 3% o’r boblogaeth yn gofyn am gymorth gyda chwyr clustiau bob blwyddyn. Mae hyn yn cyfateb i tua 96,000 o apwyntiadau cleifion mewn gofal sylfaenol ledled Cymru bob blwyddyn.  

  

Bydd angen gofal mwy cymhleth ar nifer bach o’r cleifion hyn, ond gallai’r rhan fwyaf ohonynt reoli’r cwyr clustiau eu hunain neu gael cymorth i’w reoli mewn lleoliadau gofal sylfaenol a chymunedol.  

Hefyd, mae canllawiau wedi eu llunio i sicrhau cyngor a thriniaethau cyson ledled Cymru.  

  

Dywedodd y Gweinidog Iechyd, Vaughan Gething:



> “Mae llawer o bobl yn dioddef â chwyr clustiau trafferthus, ond mae’n gyflwr cymharol hawdd i fynd i’r afael ag ef.  
> 
>   
> 
> “Sefydlwyd grŵp i weld sut y gallem sicrhau y gall pob dinesydd ledled Cymru gael y driniaeth a’r gefnogaeth fwyaf priodol ar gyfer problemau cwyr clustiau. Diolch i waith y grŵp, gallwn yn awr gynnig dull gweithredu clir a chyson ar gyfer gwasanaethau sylfaenol a chymunedol er mwyn cefnogi cleifion yn well.”


Dywedodd Karen Robson, Cyfarwyddwr Dros Dro Action on Hearing Loss Cymru:



> “Rydym yn falch fod gwasanaeth rheoli a gofalu am gwyr clustiau i’w drefnu yn fwy effeithiol yng Nghymru. Mae defnyddwyr ein gwasanaeth yn dweud wrthym eu bod am gael y gwasanaeth hwn yn lleol ac y byddai dull gweithredu cyson ledled Cymru drwy ofal sylfaenol yn ddatblygiad sylweddol, gan leihau amseroedd aros a gwella mynediad i gleifion.”

Ear wax (cerumen) is a common and significant health problem which can especially impact people with pre\-existing hearing loss as it compounds their loss further. It can also cause a number of other issues including discomfort, earache and tinnitus.  

  

Whilst some GPs currently provide ear wax care, many patients are referred to hospital services. Often this is not the right route for them and can lead to longer waiting times.


Each health board will take local action to ensure everyone in Wales has access to ear wax management services in a primary care setting. Provision is free and will be more accessible, therefore reducing the need for people to resort to private providers.  

  

Studies have found 3% of the population present with ear wax problems each year \- equating to approximately 96,000 patient appointments in primary care across Wales each year.  

  

Although a small number of these patients will require more complex care, the majority could either self\-manage or have their ear wax managed in primary and community care settings.  

  

Guidance has also been developed to ensure consistent advice and treatment across Wales.  

  

Health Minister Vaughan Gething said:



> “Unresolved and troublesome ear wax is a problem for many people however it is also a relatively easy health condition to address.  
> 
>   
> 
> “We set up a group to examine how we could ensure all citizens across Wales can access the most appropriate treatment and support for ear wax problems. Thanks to the group’s work, we’re now able to offer a clear, consistent approach for primary and community services to better support patients.”


Karen Robson, Interim Director at Action on Hearing Loss, said:



> “We welcome the news that ear wax care and management is to be streamlined in Wales. Our service users tell us that they want to receive this service locally and a consistent approach across Wales via Primary care would be a significant development, reducing waiting times and improving access for patients.”
