Tips to Prepare For Your Visit
Ensuring your ears are in optimal condition helps us give you the best care possible.
Pre-Appointment Checklist:
-
1 week before:
▫️ Use an over-the-counter ear softening drop once a day (such as mineral oil or hydrogen peroxide drops, if approved by your doctor). -
2–3 days before:
▫️ Avoid inserting cotton swabs or objects into your ears.
▫️ Stay hydrated—dry ears can make wax more compacted. -

▫️ Bring your hearing aids and accessories.
▫️ Let us know if you’re feeling congested, have allergies, or experienced any pain.
Gentle preparation makes the appointment more effective—and more comfortable for you!
