A feeling of fullness, discomfort, and persistent pain in the ear can easily be mistaken for wax buildup. That was the case for this patient, who assumed a routine ear cleaning would solve the problem. Instead, an examination at Clear Ear revealed something unexpected — a small metal object from a piercing that had been lodged in the ear canal for nearly a month.

Booking the appointment was simple and stress-free. Within minutes, a time was selected online, payment was completed, and confirmation followed shortly after. Despite some uncertainty about what might be discovered, the patient was reassured from the moment the appointment began.

The clinician carefully explained each step in clear, everyday language, answering questions and easing any concerns. The object was confirmed to be safely away from the eardrum, and the procedure itself was quick, gentle, and completely pain-free.

Once removed, the relief was immediate. The sensation of blockage disappeared, and the ear felt normal again — something the patient hadn’t realised they’d been missing until it was gone. What started as a worrying mystery ended with a simple solution, handled calmly and professionally.

For this patient, the experience highlighted just how easy and reassuring expert care can be — even when the unexpected is discovered.
