A crucial aspect for individuals of all ages in ensuring optimal hearing aid fitting and hearing protection.
While ear wax isn't something visible on your own, it can significantly impact your ability to experience clear, quality hearing.
The importance of clean ears
The success of fitting hearing aids or providing hearing protection is heavily reliant on clean ears. Impression-taking, an essential step in these processes, necessitates wax-free ears. At times, the presence of ear wax can hinder the completion of a full hearing test, emphasising the importance of addressing any wax buildup.
If wax buildup is identified, we have various solutions at hand to facilitate its safe removal. This might involve a referral to a general practitioner (GP) or a private service specialising in wax extraction. Before undertaking any extraction, it's essential to soften the wax. We recommend using various solutions to prepare the ear before any syringing process to ensure a smoother and more effective procedure.
Alternatively, we are partnered with an experienced and proficient medical professional who specialises in ear wax extraction, The Clean Ear Company. This collaboration significantly reduces the waiting time for your ears to be cleansed and enables a swift and efficient process for individuals in need of hearing aids or hearing protection.
By utilising Alison and her expertie, we streamline the process, allowing you to proceed promptly with your hearing aid or hearing protection. This not only reduces the waiting time but also ensures that you receive the necessary care and attention to facilitate a smooth transition into improved hearing.
