Hearing Matters Expert Audiologist, Annemarie Narraway "Do your ears feel like they're blocked? Do you think your hearing is not as good as it used to be? Ear WAX could be the cause! Having your ears checked for wax is the beginning of the journey to HEARing WELL and therefore living better! Ask any of my clients, they will tell you, 'hearing better is amazing! In the next column I'll explain why. Ear wax is the body's normal cleaning mechanism for the ear. The wax coats the hairs at the entrance to the ear canal and traps dust and dirt etc. However, when the hairs, that are covered in the wax, are pushed in the wrong direction it causes the wax to be compacted together and then pushed further down in the ear canal. This makes it very difficult for the natural cleaning process to occur, resulting in wax build-up. Usually having some wax is not a problem. However, audiologists find too much wax to be tricky! It can make getting accurate results difficult, cause difficulty taking ear impressions, wax can block up the hearing aids and cause hearing aids to whistle. Wax SUCTION removal is the safest way to remove wax. At 'HEAR WELL- LIVE WELL' we have invested in state of the art wax suction removal tools and training to provide safe wax removal and offer this service locally. (savings trips to Canberra and Nowra.) I look forward to helping with ALL your hearing needs. Until next time, remember to hear well and live well! Annemarie Narraway is a university trained audiologist, with 22 years of experience. She still loves helping people hear better!
