I had Taylor at the Ear Dr. yesterday, and he tried to clean out her ears. He got all of the wax out of her ear just fine on the right side, but the left side it is really stuck in there. He set us up an appt to come back in a couple weeks, and he is going to use an air suction machine to clean them out. I worry it is going to hurt though b/c it hurt when he tried to scoop it out. Is there anything I can do to help loosen the wax up so it is not so hard on her? She is still rubbing her ears this morning from where he was trying. I know she is not going to like the suction, especially if it is stuck to her ear drum.

My MIL has had to have the suction done a few times over the past month or so. It doesn't hurt, but it's v. important to sit very still, during the procedure.
I have had the suction done too. The part that worries me is the sounds, b/c it is very loud, and I worry about the pain b/c the wax is dried to the ear drum. That is why he could not get it out by scooping. He said it is like a scab on the ear drum, and that is why it hurts.

When i was growing up my mom bought some bees wax cones and we would lay on your side she would stick it in our ear far enough in that was in the ear and light it on fire with a lighter and that was unpainful . (it draws the wax out of the ear in to the cone ) Not sure if you can still buy them in stores but it works . Hope thats of some help if you can get them anymore
Maybe if she has to go have the proceedure, you can "practice" with her before she has to go so she'll know what to expect. Also, perhaps a walkman with funny music (Dora, blah blah blah) in the other ear would help her to concentrate on something OTHER than what's going on w/her suctioning ear?
