Prior to Your Appointment:

 

• Please read the consent form and liability waiver sent to you via email with your appointment confirmation.

• It is essential to apply ear wax softeners for 2 days prior to your appointment. You may use olive oil twice daily or an approved ear wax softening solution such as ear clear which you can get from the pharmacy.

• Do not use any ear wax softeners if you have or suspect a perforated ear drum.

• Apply the ear wax softener in both ears or the affected ear only.

 

Ear Wax Softening Instructions:

 

• Lie on your side.

• Apply 2 drops of olive oil into the ear and allow it to soak for 5 minutes.

• Cover with cotton wool and let it drain onto a tissue.

 

Important:

​

Unless you have received clinical advice from us, do not use solutions such as Waxsol or Hydrogen peroxide.

 

On the Day of Your Procedure:

 

• The assessment, procedure, and clinical recommendations will take approximately 45 minutes.

• Please ensure there is adequate space for the RN to set up equipment (a stool and portable bed) for the procedure.

• If you have children or pets, it is advisable to have the procedure in an enclosed room to ensure safety during ear microsuction/curettage.

• Ensure you have read, understood, and signed the waiver and consent form prior to the procedure. Allow 15 minutes for the RN to prepare and provide clinical education before the procedure.

• Feel free to ask questions during this time or after the procedure. The procedure itself will take about 30 minutes; please remain still. If you need to cough, talk, or move, kindly notify the RN by raising your hand.

• If you consent to before and after photos, you will receive a report via email by the end of the day.
