2. The PTA is usually done by an Audiologist at a Hearing & Speech Clinic.

1. Get your ears examined. Wet wax may be removed immediately.
2. If the ear wax is dry, hard or impacted, you may have to use wax dissolving ear drops such as Soliwax or Waxolve for a few days before the wax can be cleaned. Use 5 drops 5 times a day and lie down for 5 minutes on your side with that ear above.
3. Avoid cleaning your ears yourself. You may proceed with the Audiometry after getting your ears cleaned.
