Hearing Loss
& Dementia
When hearing devices are prescribed at the onset of hearing loss, cognitive decline is postponed. Studies have shown people wearing hearing devices improve their perception, discernment, awareness, comprehension, learning and understanding.

Earwax Compaction
& Removal
Earwax is a natural function of the human body intended to clean and protect the ear. Without its moisturizing benefits, our ears would often be dry and itchy. However, too much can also be a problem.
The Role of Earwax
Earwax typically comes out on its own as our ears are self-cleaning. Earwax is produced by the ear to clean and protect itself. It's secreted by glands in the skin that line the other half of your ear canals. The wax and tiny hairs in these passages trap dust and other foreign particles that could damage deeper structures, such as your eardrum. Through general movements like chewing and talking, most people never need to clean their ears on their own. When people attempt to clean their ears with a cotton swab or bobby pin, it can push back any earwax towards the eardrum, thus causing a buildup inside the ear canal.
Hazards Of Too Much
While people with too little earwax are likely to experience itchy ears that are more prone to infection, an ear canal blocked up with earwax can cause earaches, mild hearing loss, a sensation of fullness in the ear, tinnitus, infections and other problems. If this buildup goes untreated, it can cause difficulty hearing, pain in the ear, ringing in the ear or a feeling of your ear being stuffed.
What Can Be Done?
Visit our office and let us take a peak into your ears. It's one of the first things we check for and one of the easiest hearing issues to treat. After removing any blockage, your hearing could return to a normal state without any further treatments. We also have a device that allows us to show you what is going on in your ear and can take a videoscopy of your ear canals.

Schedule A Consultation
Everyone can benefit from a consultation. People often don't realize how much their tinnitus and/or hearing is impacting them until it gets better. Research shows a huge link between the auditory system and cognitive function. Coming in for a baseline evaluation can be highly beneficial.
