Welcome to Our Family!  

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Frequently, patients travel to our clinic in hopes of getting audiological attention only to find that they have dried up earwax that requires a two  week oil treatment for an accurate screening and safe removal. If you would like to save yourself some time, and your doctor has given approval to do so, please follow the instructions below prior to our appointment.

If your doctor gives you the okay to try earwax removal at home, here are the instructions:

What you need: mineral oil OR baby oil OR extra virgin oil + dropper

Lie down with the impacted ear facing the ceiling. Use the dropper to put 3-4 drops of oil in the ear. Wait a few minutes. Switch sides and repeat.

  1. Use a cotton ball to make sure the oil does not drain out of the ear.
  2. Do this 2X a day, morning and night for 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can do this just at night before bed with 5-6 drops.

Expect to feel plugged and hear muffled sound when the oil is in the ear. This is temporary and means that you are doing everything correctly. 

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us.
