My GP did it in his office so there was no charge to me. And there was no "machine". It was a plastic spray bottle with a 10" tube coming out the nozzle. At the end of the tube there's a special fitting to keep the tube from going too far into the ear. I believe it contained only warm water because he kept adding more at the sink. Then he used metal tweezers several times to pull out big globs of wax. Not exactly high tech but very effective.

So now I have normal hearing; It's great to be able to hear again.

Good for you. You can't beat that price and done by a doctor is the safest way.

I know how good it is to hear as I just had it done myself by a doctor.
