How should I prepare for an ear examination?

Healthwise answered:It is important to sit very still during an ear examination. A young child should be lying down with his or her head turned to the side or sitting on the lap of an adult with the child's head resting securely on the adult's chest. Older children and adults can sit with the head tilted slightly toward the opposite shoulder.
Your doctor may need to remove earwax in order to see the eardrum.
