What to expect
Ears feeling plugged, full or muffled? Ear wax is one of the most common reasons, and it is usually a quick fix. We offer ear wax removal in Edmonton for $30 per ear. We look in your ears first, then remove the wax safely. If we check and there is no wax to remove, it is a flat $30 for the visit.
What happens at your visit
- A quick chat. We ask how your ears feel, how long it has been going on, and whether you have had ear surgery, ear tubes or a hole in your eardrum.
- A look in your ears. We check both ear canals to see if there is wax and how much.
- Safe removal. If there is wax, we remove it safely and let you know how your ears look when we are done.
Most people notice sounds are clearer as soon as the wax is out.
Ear wax removal cost
Ear wax removal is $30 per ear. If we check your ears and there is no wax to remove, it is a flat $30 for the visit.
This is a paid service. If you have extended health benefits, ask your provider what your plan includes.
Who should come in
- Your ears feel plugged, full or under pressure
- Your hearing got muffled slowly, in one ear or both
- You hear a new ringing or buzzing
- You wear hearing aids, earbuds or ear plugs most days
- Your hearing aids sound weak, muffled or keep whistling
Please see a doctor first if you have ear pain, fluid or discharge from the ear, a fever, or hearing loss that came on suddenly. Those can be signs of something other than wax.
Before your visit
Skip the cotton swabs. They push wax deeper and make it harder to get out. If you have been using softening drops, let us know when you come in. Our ear cleaning guide explains what is safe at home and compares the common methods.
After the wax is out
If your ears still feel blocked or sounds are still muffled once the wax is gone, a hearing test will show whether something else is going on. Hearing aid wearers can also have their hearing aids cleaned and checked, since wax is the most common reason they sound weak. See our hearing aid repairs page.

How do you remove ear wax?
We look in your ears first to see if there is wax and how much, then remove it safely. We let you know how your ears look when we are done.
What if there is no wax in my ears?
Then there is nothing to remove, and it is a flat $30 for the visit. If your ears still feel blocked or your hearing seems off, we can talk about booking a hearing test to find out why.
Should I try cotton swabs or ear candles first?
No. Cotton swabs push wax deeper and can scratch the ear canal, and ear candles do not pull wax out. Leave it for your visit. See a doctor first if you have ear pain, fluid or discharge, a fever, or hearing loss that came on suddenly, since those can be signs of something else.
