Hearing aids and earwax<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMany of us search for cotton buds when we go shopping. That feeling in your ear when it feels blocked, can get annoying, or maybe you are just in the habit of cleaning your ears for personal\nhygiene. Sometimes a build up of earwax can affect your hearing and, in some cases, you may already be suffering from hearing loss. The best way to find out how to restore your hearing and your quality of life is to ask a good, professional hearing care consultant, like Clariti.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Earwax blocks<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSigns and symptoms of earwax blockage may include:\n
    \n \t
  • Earache<\/li>\n \t
  • Blocked feeling in the ear<\/li>\n \t
  • Ringing or noises in the ear (tinnitus)<\/li>\n \t
  • Hearing loss<\/li>\n \t
  • Itchiness in the ear<\/li>\n \t
  • Pain or infection in the ear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSigns and symptoms of earwax blockage may signal another health condition that needs\nattention. Untreated buildup of earwax can lead to hearing loss. Your ear canal and eardrum are\ndelicate and can be damaged easily so earwax removal is most safely done by a professional\ndoctor. Myths about earwax are too ingrained to be easily dispelled by facts and many people wonder, should we be digging our ears to clear earwax?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Self-cleaning ears<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt may come as a surprise to many that your ears are self-cleaning. According to research by Harvard University no routine cleaning is required for your ears. If you have been using cotton\nswabs to remove earwax, or stop it from building up, you may have been wasting your time! Earwax is produced within your ear canal and naturally migrates from inside your ears outwards. This means you shouldn\u2019t try to remove earwax yourself by putting anything in your ear canal, like a cotton swab. Inserting cotton swabs can damage your ears or push earwax further into your ear canal making it harder to remove.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEarwax, or cerumen in medical terms is good for you because it;\n
      \n \t
    • prevents bacteria and other infectious organisms from reaching your inner ear<\/li>\n \t
    • is a natural moisturizer, preventing the skin inside the ear from becoming too dry<\/li>\n \t
    • absorbs dead skin cells and debris<\/li>\n \t
    • traps dirt and dust before they can reach deep into the canal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
