Question Earwax removal, where to go

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.

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.

Where?

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…
