Paying cash: what to do

  • Ask whether the price is per ear and whether the visit fee is included.
  • A primary care office, urgent care or hearing clinic often costs far less than an emergency room for the same service.
  • Over-the-counter drops can soften wax, but see a clinician if you have ear pain, a hole in the eardrum or ear tubes.
