Miss those good old days when they have ear digging service at the barber shop 💈

But the apparatus looks scary, sharp pointed tweezers and a light bulb on a stand placed at the side of the ear being digged.

they dig quite strong... a bit pain sia.. but they show you the dirt... scary... lol

today went to a private HDB clinic which the DR practices ENT .... for my blocked ears.

a 5 mins procedure to remove the blockage with the specialized equipment .... $190

anyone got cheaper alternatives ? (not DIY)

i have got oily ears and this is just a build up from almost 2 years ago when i went for my first ear clearing at Seng Kang Hospital which cost me $230.

this one also not cheap if done by a good sifu. I did once in sg 3 yrs ago cost as much as the private clinic fee. I had another one in beijing this year for half the price (not those old uncle/auntie behind the alley type )

the thing for flushing service in clinic require you to put the oily eardrops for 2 weeks to soften the wax, which i dun really like. The traditional ear digging quite therapeutic though a bit risky

its olive oil. my DR took a look at both my ears then asked me to lie down on my side then dripped a few drops of the olive oil into my ear and then after about 10 secs, used the machine to work on my ear. he then repeated the same thing on my other ear. all over in about 5 mins !!

Such pricing can go to ENT specialist liao. HDB clinic charging such price indeed a bit ex, esp still need to drip olive oil before used the machine to work on your ear.

If you go to ENT specialist, they straight away can clear your ear with the machine.

Better don't go to those neighbourhood spas, not sure if they are licence and know what they are doing. If they hurt and damage your ear then big problem liao.

I went to one, a clinic at punggol opp soo teck lrt. The doc also do ear clearing and extract things / insect stuck in kids' ears etc. I cleared one ear (ear wax came loose and lodged against ear drum) , total bill just below $100.

Spa of course cheaper, can go for general clearing ... errr... cleaning

Nowadays the headlamp, scope and other basic equipment easily available online. Even the spa ladies have it. Only thing is no vacuum tool like the clinic.
