Many people find ear coning helpful for the following:

Removal of excess earwax
Improved hearing
Relief from sinus infection symptoms
Upper respiratory allergy relief
Relief from itchy ears
Improved dreaming
Improvement in ability to breath through nose
Soothes irritated ears or ear aches
Improves functioning of hearing aids

Each ear takes about 15-20 minutes to complete. Your session will be scheduled for one hour.

What will I feel?

You may sense a subtle drawing action in the ear, but generally you feel nothing. Your job is to relax, listen to soft music and even nap if you want! Afterward, you may feel lighter, more clear headed, and are usually able to hear better. Sometimes you will experience sinus drainage or excess wax that will come out of your ears overnight. This is all part of the cleansing action taking place.

How many sessions do I need?

It will depend on the results of your conings. However, to start, three treatments (5 -10 days apart) within one month is suggested. Sometimes you will see a much greater amount of debris in the cones on the second and third treatments. Then a set of treatment one to three times a year is suggested for maintenance.

What should I do after my appointment?

To protect your ears from cold weather, it is recommended that you place a small piece of cotton the each ear for 48 hours after your coning session when you go outside. A little wax serves to protect your ears, and will replenish itself between 24-48 hours after the coning. Until then, do not submerge your head in water or stand out in the cold weather without protection.
