Distinguish blockage from other ear symptoms
A blocked feeling can follow a flight, a cold or water exposure, but the cause is not always wax. Describe whether you have pain, discharge, dizziness or a change in hearing, and when these symptoms began. A qualified professional should assess the ear before deciding on irrigation. CNR Medicare coordinates an enquiry and location details; it does not diagnose the cause from a message or promise that an irrigation procedure will take place.
Also mention an earlier eardrum perforation, ear operation, recurrent infection or a hearing device if relevant. These details may change whether irrigation is considered at all. If the ear is painful or the hearing change is sudden, explain that at first contact so the provider can assess the right route rather than treating the request as routine wax removal.
