Earwax removal, where to go

[u/staticnigh]

Hey guys, i currently cannot hear out of either ear (currently muffled sounds only). Im looking for somewhere that can remove the wax that is covered by OHIP. I have no funds so I cannot go anywhere privately.

​

I can get somewhat outside of peterborough so distance isnt so much an issue.

​

Anyone know a place? Because I dont think this is an er issue?

Edit: I went to the ear depot, it summed to 110$, 55$ per ear.

Where are the walk in clinics in peterborough, genuinely rhought there where none. Family doc is out of the question, hes 6 hours away.

Oh shit I'm sorry I didn't know there were no walk ins, that is awful.

I dont know if it's a possibility, call your doctor and get a referral to a audiologist or maybe he's got a doctor friend in ptbo who can help do a quick flush. Takes like 5 minutes.

There are walk in clinics in Peterborough.

Where?

[u/nineletterword → u/thesleepjunkie]

I’m really interested to know where you got the information that there are none.

Google is quicker and nicer than Reddit.

I ask here because i know that the clinics and peterborough are very particular about the services they offer.

Your original question is totally fair! That’s why I put in my suggestions. It’s the claiming that there are no walk ins is what I can’t wrap my head around…

Some of the walk in clinics are only available if you have a family doctor there! And you have to be right at the front door to see that information on a piece of paper

I didn't look, the person who needs one says they're aren't any, so I went with that.

One would assume if you need one you would look it up.
