If you have had wax removed before and been told that your ear wax was very hard and could use pre softening before removal, then you are welcome to soften your ear wax for 3
days prior with lightly warmed oil such as unused ricebran or olive
oil prior to coming This will make removal easier and more comfortable
for you. Alternatively, purchasing a wax softening product from a
pharmacy and using for two days prior to your visit can be useful. Otherwise just come as you are.
For those who wear hearing aids, it may be necessary to have wax removed
more frequently. This can be due to the partial blocking of the ear
canal by the hearing aid preventing wax from exiting the ear by normal
process. This build up affects the ability of hearing aids to work well.
Also the mildly corrosive effects of wax on hearing aids decreases the
long term life of your hearing aid investment.
We see children of any age at a charge of $35.00 but your local District Health Board offers free ear services for children.
