Ear Nose & throat specialist

Hi
Want to have my ears checked out and cleaned. Apparently you won’t believe all the crap that comes out…
Does anyone know of a doctor. Central Taipei or Muzha/Jingmei/Sidah area?
Thanks

[quote=“greenboxie”]Apparently you won’t believe all the crap that comes out…[/quote]I had to have my ears syringed a few years back and yes a fair bit of wax did come out. But I had it done for a specific reason – the amount of wax buildup had caused hearing to become affected.

The doctor told me that ordinarily it’s not necessary to do this. In fact it’s better to leave things alone in the ears as much as possible, as syringing could cause irritation or slight damage. So unless you have a specific problem with wax buildup affecting hearing or something then I’d think twice about it.

Not the same treatment but some related issues anyway.

Thanks mate I will concider this.
Question - how will I know if my hearing is slightly affected or not. I had this done as a child and my hearing became super hearing…
WHere can I go?

WHere can I go?[/quote]Right! I also got super hearing powers after the syringing. But you might ask yourself whether super hearing is really necessary or if your regular hearing is good enough.

I guess a hearing test is a good thing to get done anyway, though. Sorry I can’t recommend a specific place; any of the big public hospitals should have a reasonable ENT department. I hope someone can give specific recommendations.

I’ve had my ears cleaned out a few times both here and at home. The diference is here I had it water blasted and at home I had the wax sucked.
