counter open at 7.30am, and you'll be called upon for registration. Another ticket will be issued to you for consultant.

7.45am - 8.00am, consultancy by doctoc.

ENT is where??normally how much ah??cuz i duno is whther earwax stucked there or i am half deaf

All hospitals have ENT specialist.
ENT = Ear, Nose, Throat

perforation will heal by itself; don't need ent

what's this...sorry never heard of these terms before

You've punctured, or perforated, your eardrum.

That is why I always go to an ENT every three months or so for an ear toilet,
that is, the suctioning of wax.

I go to Tan Lye Suan at Pantai KL these days, her charges very moderate.

Her suctioning machine is quite gentle - she told me she sets it to the lowest.

Or you can go see my schoolmate, Chang Chew Ming, on the ground floor there.

like that normally cost how much...roughly

RM15 consultation.. and medicine was RM10 (for my case la)

ENT is located inside hospital, surprisingly inside has a secret recipe restaurant and ENT is right behind.

if you can't find, ask the nurse around.

Tham has explained.

You korek korek too deep and must have injured the surface of your ear drum. It will heal but takes time and there will be some hearing loss. Just take care not to let any water seep in while showering.

Tan Lye Suan charges me her standard followup consultation fee of $60, and
another $4 is some admin fee by the registration counter, so total $64.

Since I see her regularly to clean my ears, she doesn't really charge me for the
ear toilet fee, which is actually considered a procedure and under Pantai's rates,
should be $200. That was what Asha Gupta, another lady ENT on the same floor,
charged me when I went to see her the second time (she waived this fee the first time.
I still felt some itchiness and irritation from some remaining wax that first time, so
I went back to her after two days for further cleaning.)

If you want to see Tan, you could ask her about her charges first.

Note that Tan and the other two ENTs on the 2nd floor are under Pantai's
administration, so have to follow their rates.

Chang Chew Ming, on the other hand, is at the ground floor on the left wing,
where all the doctors are independent, so they have their own rates.

Since he is my schoolmate and have been cleaning my ears for some 10 years,
his consultation is $40, ear toilet $40, total $80. If you go to see him, maybe you
could explain that you were recommended by me, so he might give you some discount.

Remember that first time consultation with private specialists is usually twice
that of followup ones.

I don't go to see him much these days because his clinic is more in the mornings,
with surgery in the afternoons. You should call up first to check if he is around in
the clinic if you wish to go in the afternoon.


I enquired with the ENT at Kelana Medical Centre once, and he said he charges
$120 - 150 for an ear toilet.

I suffer from tinnitus (ringing in the ears) , so I don't normally go to GPs for wax
cleaning, who will use a syringe filled with water to flush out your ears.

can use medical card to see ent??

check with your insurance company

Don't scold me but anyone knows the Chinese ear digger, preferable reliable and relatively hygienic ones within klang valley?

first of all , go visit your GP. then see what he recommends. simple.

Yes you can use the medical card to get treated for ENT related illness PROVIDED the medical card has surpass the Specified Illnesses clause of 120 days waiting period.

General Exclusions:

Specified Illnesses occurring during the first 120 days of continuous cover for:
1. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus and Cardiovascular disease;
2. All tumours, cancers, cysts, nodules, polyps, stones of the urinary system and biliary system;
3. All ear, nose (including sinuses) and throat conditions;
4. Hernias, haemorrhoids, fistulae, hydrocele, varicocele;
5. Endometriosis including disease of the reproduction system; or
6. Vertebro-spinal disorders (including disc) and knee conditions.

How about some blockage on the left ear? Can feel that the ear hole is easily closed on the left ear compared to right. I can only think of dried wax, any other possible reasons?

Did you manage to solve or at least reduce the tinnitus problem? Mine is starting to drive me crazy and I need some help

I also have tinnitus in my ears since few months ago.. haiz not sure why sometimes is ringing.. after see doctor, doctor said everything okay..
