Trusting doctors in Tunisia

So far I've only had one encounter with a doctor in Tunisia. She told me that the pain in my kidney was caused by a fan in my room at night. It turned out it was a kidney stone and the whole experience made me very apprehensive about seeing doctors in Tunisia.
I have a problem with my ear now. I want a doctor to look and to tell me if perhaps I have impacted ear wax. I wanted to know if anyone here has had a similar problem with doctors using old wives tales to diagnose problems? Has anyone here had their ears cleaned in Tunisia. Has anyone here other ears cleaned outside of Tunisia?
I was wondering if anyone knew if a doctor could see impacted ear wax without a special tool. I'm worried that if I go to the doctor she'll tell me the pain in my ear is caused by the wind outside. I want to know what I should be looking for when she looks inside my ears, if for example, she needs a better tool than just the normal ear looking device.
Thanks for any advice in advance

From my understanding of what may be wrong with my ears I cannot and should not attempt to remove the problem myself. I'm experiencing symptoms of an impacted earwax ball that is causing pain (probably infected) clicking and popping as well as slight hearing loss.
It's gone on for a few years now and my mind has taken hold of the problem and I've convinced myself it is this issue.
If I'm wrong I need to trust the doctor 100% and I'm worried I won't be able to in Tunisia
