]]> Olive oil helps to soften ear wax. Olive oil often helps create a gap between the wax and the side of your ear canal. This may give some relief to the blocked feeling and can make it easier to remove the wax.

 

Directions for using olive oil:
Lie on your side.  Put the olive oil down your ear canal as deep as possible then massage your ear (by holding a tissue over your ear) to try and get the olive oil to go between the wax and your ear canal. Then wait for about 10 mins. You may have to do this morning and night for 2- 7 days.  Once a gap forms between the wax and your ear canal, your ear may unblock and you may feel a bit better.

This olive oil is in an easy to use 15 ml dropper bottle.

Note: Olive oil may help in relieving blocked hearing and wax removal, but can not totally replace micro-suction.

People usually get custom earmoulds for reasons of comfort and ease of use. They may, or may not, attenuate (reduce) more sound than well-fitted foam earplugs. This is because the attenuation of foam earplugs is variable depending on your ear canal

]]> Sleep plugs fit nicely into your canal, and so they are comfortable to lie on. Custom made earplugs work well for people who have difficulty either getting foam earplugs into their ears or keeping them there.

Colour: They come in clear silicon as standard, but you can choose from a range of other colours for an extra $10 per earplug.

You will need to make an appointment to come into the clinic so we can make impressions for your ear canals. These get sent off and made into custom earplugs for you.

PLEASE EMAIL US TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR IMPRESSIONS [email protected]

Once we have the shape of your ears on file, we will not need to make further ear impressions for another 2-3 years (after that your ear canal shape may change, and the fit will not be so good). Therefore if you lose an earplug, just let us know and we can get a replacement made and sent out to you.
