I came in for blocked ears and was hoping for an ENT referral. Dr Koesters wanted to instead perform ear irrigation/ flushing. I was hesitant but he assured me everything would be fine and it would work. It in fact, did not work. My ears were still blocked and I started hearing ringing several hours later.
