Why do your ears feel blocked? 👂🚫

It can be for multiple reasons:

🚧Impacted earwax
The most common reason is a build up of excess earwax. Earwax is your body's natural method for cleaning your ears, but sometimes blockages can happen (for example, due to illness or injury), giving you that feeling fullness in your ears.

💧 Moisture buildup
Sometimes after swimming, showering or even heavy sweating, moisture can get trapped in your ears. Moisture build up in the ear can lead to an infection called Swimmers Ear.

✈️ Air pressure changes
Rapid pressure changes from flying, driving up mountains, can cause rapid shifts in air pressure in your ears.

👂 Ear infections
Fluid buildup behind the eardrum from a middle ear infection can cause a full, blocked sensation. This often comes with pain or fever.

What can you do about a blockage?🤔 If it lasts more than days or if you're feeling a loss of balance, pain or hearing loss then you need to give Kevin a call!

What can getting caught out in heavy rain do to your ears? ☔🌧️

🦠 Moisture leads to an increased risk of ear infection
👂 Wet earwax expands and causes muffled hearing, pressure, and dizziness.
🦻 Hearing devices can both trap moisture and risk damage

☔ How to protect your ears on rainy days:

✅ Gently dry your outer ears with a towel after getting wet
✅ Tilt your head and gently tug on your earlobe to get rid of excess water
✅ If you wear hearing aids, use a drying dehumidifier overnight

If you are experiencing itching, pain, discharge or muffled hearing, then it's time to contact us for an appointment.

Feeling off balance? 🤔🌀

It might be impacted earwax.

Inside your ear canal lies more than just wax. Your inner ear contains the vestibular system. These tiny fluid-filled tubes that tell your brain which way is up, down, left, and right.

When impacted earwax presses against your eardrum or blocks the ear canal, it can send mixed signals to your brain about your body's position. Resulting in making you feel "off balance".

Professional earwax removal often restores balance almost immediately.

So, if you think you need an earwax removal, call Kevin today on:

Your ears never sleep. 👂😴

Even while you're resting, your auditory system is still on duty 24/7, constantly paying attention to what's happening around you. 🎧

Unlike other parts of your body, your ears don't get to rest and regenerate.

They work for you every minute of every day whether you're awake or asleep, in silence or at a concert.

But what does heat do to your ears?👂🔥

High temperatures = increased earwax production and higher risk of blockage ⚠️

Moisture from sweat can get into your hearing aids, so keep them dry! 💦🦻❌

Nice weather = more time outdoors, and that can mean higher noise exposure 🎉🌳🔊

Protect your ears with earplugs or take noise breaks if you’re out and about 🎧🛑

Are you getting your daily dose of Vitamin C? 🛡️

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals, which can damage the delicate hair cells in your inner ear.

🩸 Vitamin C boosts your blood flow, which provides essential oxygen and nutrients to the tissues within the ear,

🦠 It helps boost your immune system and makes your body better able to fight off infection

So, any time you eat citrus fruits such as oranges and orange juice, peppers, strawberries, potatoes or sprouts, you are doing your ears a favour!
