Use this app to locate a good ENT Clinic in your neighbourhood. Please go through all past patient feedbacks before selecting the right doctor. Ears can be cleaned gently and safely using Otomicroscope guided suctioning. This is a bit time-consuming and may cost you about ₹2000-2500 for both ears in a city like Mumbai, but the results are worth it, as the alternative is the ageold technique of water syringing is unsafe and is now proven to lead to deafness in a few years! Some still use wax hooks which is a very painful method and the pain may persist for a few weeks in some cases!
