Blocked Ear Doctor in Bali: Ear Wax Removal & Clogged Ear Treatment
A blocked or clogged ear is most often ear wax, trapped water or fluid behind the eardrum, and each one needs a different fix. At our practice, dr. Yunita D Aluano looks inside the ear first, then treats what she finds. Doctor ear wax removal often restores hearing straight away, and it is far safer than cotton buds, ear candles or DIY kits, which can push wax deeper or injure the ear canal.
Ear examination
A full otoscope check of the ear canal and eardrum before any treatment.
Ear wax removal in Bali
Doctor-performed removal of hard, impacted or build-up wax.
Safe ear irrigation
Gentle flushing, used only when the eardrum is intact.
Medical ear cleaning
Ear cleaning for itchy, blocked or recurring problems, including after surfing or swimming.
Targeted treatment
Ear drops or antibiotics when there is an infection.
Home & villa visits
Available across Bali's main tourist areas.
Ear Problems We Treat in Bali
Bali's pools, surf, dive sites and flights make ear trouble common. These are the problems people ask us about most.
Swimmer's ear relief in Bali
Swimmer's ear (otitis externa) is an infection of the ear canal. Typical signs are pain that gets worse when you tug the outer ear, itching, redness and sometimes discharge. It usually needs prescription ear drops, and the canal may need cleaning first so the drops can reach the skin. Keep the ear dry until it clears.
Trapped water in the ear
Water can sit behind wax or in a narrow canal, causing fullness, crackling and muffled sound. Most cases clear in a day or two. If it lingers, or pain starts, get it checked, because trapped water is a common trigger for swimmer's ear.
Surfer ear cleaning in Bali
Hours in the water, plus wind and salt, can leave surfers with repeated blockages and infections. We clean the canal and check whether its shape is contributing. If a narrowed canal is suspected, we explain your options. Well-fitted surf earplugs help prevent repeat problems.
Muffled hearing after swimming
Muffled hearing after swimming is usually water or swollen wax, and it often settles on its own. See a doctor if it lasts more than a couple of days, or straight away if you have sudden hearing loss in one ear.
Ear pain after diving in Bali
Pain, fullness or muffled hearing after a dive can be ear barotrauma from pressure changes. Do not dive again until you have been examined. Sudden hearing loss, ringing or dizziness after diving needs urgent medical assessment.
Airplane ear pressure relief in Bali
Ear pressure builds most on descent, especially with a cold or blocked nose. Swallow, yawn or gently pinch your nose and blow to equalise, without forcing it. If pain or blockage lasts more than a day or two after landing, there may be fluid behind the eardrum that needs treatment.
Ear Cleaning in Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta & Ubud
Ear cleaning at your villa or hotel, with no need to find a clinic in traffic. Here is who we usually see and where.
Ear cleaning Seminyak
Pool days and beach-club afternoons often end with trapped water or an itchy ear. We visit villas and hotels across Seminyak.
Ear cleaning Canggu
Surfers spend hours in the water, which traps wax and water in the canal. We offer surfer ear cleaning and home visits in Canggu.
Ear cleaning Kuta
Surf breaks, beach days and flights in and out of Bali mean water in the ears and pressure problems. We visit Kuta hotels and homestays.
Ear cleaning Ubud
Humid weather, villa pools and river or waterfall swims can leave ears blocked or irritated. We come to you in Ubud.

💬 Message Us NowSafe Ear Irrigation & Medical Ear Cleaning: What to Expect

-
Tell us what is wrong
Message us on WhatsApp with your symptoms, how long they have lasted and where you are staying.
-
Ear examination
The doctor checks the ear canal and eardrum with an otoscope to find the cause: wax, water, infection or pressure.

Cleaning by the safest method
Wax is removed with gentle irrigation or by hand. Irrigation is only used when the eardrum is intact.
-
Aftercare and treatment
If there is an infection, you receive ear drops or antibiotics, plus clear advice on keeping your ears dry and safe.
Ear Pain, Blocked Ears or Swimmer's Ear: What Should You Do?
Symptoms start
Ear fullness, mild itching, muffled hearing, or discomfort after swimming, diving, or a flight.
Is there pain, discharge, or fever?
These point toward infection rather than simple water/pressure irritation.
Self-care
No pain, discharge or fever — likely trapped water or wax.
- Tilt head and gently dry the outer ear
- Over-the-counter drying drops if available (skip drops if you may have a perforated eardrum)
- Avoid cotton buds, ear candles or any object in the ear
- Should resolve within a day or two. If not, book an ear check
See a doctor
Possible infection (such as swimmer's ear) that needs assessment.
- Same-day consultation recommended
- Ear examination & professional cleaning if needed
- Prescription ear drops or antibiotics if indicated
- Keep the ear dry and don't put anything in it until examined
Ear Wax Removal & Ear Cleaning in Bali: FAQ
How much does ear wax removal cost in Bali?
Consultations start from Rp300.000. The final cost depends on the treatment you need and whether you want a home or villa visit. Message us on WhatsApp and we will give you a clear price before you book.
Is ear irrigation safe?
Ear irrigation is safe when the eardrum is intact and the ear has been examined first, which is why we always look inside with an otoscope before cleaning. It is not suitable if you have a perforated eardrum, ear tubes, a current ear infection or past ear surgery, so tell us about any of these when you book.
Can you do same-day ear cleaning in Bali?
Send us a WhatsApp message with your area and symptoms and we will confirm the earliest available time, often the same day. If you have ear pain, discharge or fever, tell us straight away so we can prioritise you.
Do you visit Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta and Ubud?
Yes. We offer home and villa visits across Bali's main tourist areas, including Seminyak, Canggu, Kuta and Ubud. If you are staying somewhere else, message us and we will confirm whether we can come to you.
How do I get trapped water out of my ear?
Tilt your head to the side and gently dry the outer ear with a towel. Do not push cotton buds or other objects into the canal. Trapped water usually clears within a day or two. If it does not, or if you develop pain, discharge or muffled hearing, book an ear check.
Is it OK to clean my ears with cotton buds?
No. Cotton buds tend to push wax deeper, can scratch the ear canal and make swimmer's ear more likely. If your ears feel blocked or itchy, a doctor can examine and clean them safely.
Can I dive or fly with a blocked ear?
Avoid diving with a blocked or painful ear, because you cannot equalise properly and risk ear barotrauma. Flying with a mild blockage is usually manageable, but pressure pain on descent can be intense, so get your ears checked before your flight if you can.
