Did you know? William Shatner, known by a lot of us as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk is a spokesperson for the American Tinnitus Association. Shatner began suffering tinnitus following a pyrotechnics accident while shooting an episode of the series. Tinnitus is characterised by a ringing or buzzing noise in one or both ears that may be constant or come and go, often associated with hearing loss. Following the accident he began to wear a small white noise device to distract from the tinnitus. There are many devices that can help with the symptoms of tinnitus, if you’d like any advice simply give us a call on 01704 505283, Email: [email protected] or call in to our hearing centre at 18 Wesley St, Southport PR8 1BN.

Don’t use cotton buds! Well, they have their uses but they should be kept away from our ear canals.  Many people use cotton buds as a quick and easy method to remove earwax but this can actually be harmful. Inserting cotton buds (or anything smaller than your elbow) to clean your ears can do more harm than good. Instead of removing earwax, you may push the ear wax further into the ear canal, leading to a blockage or impaction.  This impacted earwax buildup can cause various symptoms such as earache, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or even dizziness. Using cotton buds runs the risk of perforating the eardrum, resulting in severe complications and potential hearing loss. Earwax plays a vital role in protecting our ears. It helps trap dirt, dust, and other foreign particles and the self-cleaning process of the ear slowly moves the earwax from the inner ear to the outer ear. To maintain healthy ears avoid inserting any objects into the ear canal, including cotton buds. It's recommended to gently clean the outer ear with a soft cloth during regular bathing or showering.  If you suspect that you have excess earwax or are experiencing any discomfort give us a call on 01704 505283 or Email: [email protected] and we can arrange an appointment  We’re here to help you hear. #audiologist #audiology #hearingloss #hearingtest #hearinghealth #hearingcare #hearingclinic #hearingcentre #earwaxremoval #earwax #microsuction #blockedears #earmicrosuction #earcleaning #waxremoval #hearingaids #hardofhearing #hearingimpaired #tinnitus #independentaudiologist #discretionhearing #independentbusiness #southport #southportbusiness #wesleyst #southportuk

What can you expect at your hearing test? Your ears will be visually inspected, checking for signs of medical conditions. Here it could be found that you simply have a build up of ear wax which is affecting your hearing.  Your hearing will then be tested using various methods which may include a pressure test, a tone test and a speech test. We’ll then discuss with you the results of your hearing test and make recommendations for next steps.  Your hearing test will be carried out by David, our qualified registered audiologist in our state of the art premises in Southport. If you can't get to us we can do this in the comfort of your own home.  We will explain everything to you in clear language and help you to understand your options with no obligation to purchase and with absolutely no sales pressure.  The most important thing for us is your hearing health.

5 tips for getting used to your new hearing aids.  Wear them at home first: starting by wearing your aids at home, or in an environment that isn't too noisy will help you get used to them. Test them out by having conversations or reading aloud.  You'll feel more confident and comfortable wearing them in busier, noisier places then.   It's important to always wear your hearing aids, so that your brain can relearn how to process all of these new sounds.  Attend follow up appointments: If you have follow up appointments, be sure to attend them.  Also, if you are experiencing any problems with them make sure to discuss them with the audiologist.  Some fine tuning may be required. Expect to be frustrated: You'll start hearing extra background noise so will need to relearn to ignore them.  Often hearing these sounds can be a bit of sensory overload to begin with.  Be patient as your brain readjusts to all of these sounds you hadn't been hearing.  Report any pain or discomfort: Your hearing aids should fit you well, but you may find initially that they make your ears tender as they get used to them. If you should suffer with any discomfort, discuss with the audiologist.  To book a hearing test phone: 01704 505283 or Email: [email protected] We’re here to help you hear. #audiologist #audiology #hearingloss #hearingtest #hearinghealth #hearingcare #hearingclinic #hearingcentre #earwaxremoval #hearingaids #hardofhearing #hearingimpaired #tinnitus #independentaudiologist #discretionhearing #independentbusiness #southport #southportbusiness #wesleyst #southportuk

In order to protect the eardrum, our ears produce wax.  Occasionally, due to things like wearing in-ear headphones, or using cotton buds in your ears (please don't!) the wax can be pushed deeper into your ear canal and become hardened. This may lead to your ears feeling “blocked”, reduced hearing, itchy ears, dizziness or tinnitus. Microsuction is a safe, comfortable earwax removal technique that may alleviate all of the symptoms you were experiencing. If you feel you may have any of these issues, you can contact Discretion Hearing and our audiologist will give you expert advice. Our microsuction earwax removal service is available in our Southport hearing centre or can be carried out in the comfort of your own home.

This week is Deaf Awareness Week, the aim of which is to raise awareness of hearing loss in the UK. Noise induced hearing loss is one of the main causes of hearing loss in the UK. Noise induced hearing loss is caused by exposure to loud sounds. It can be caused by being exposed to loud sounds over an extended period, or a single very loud sound. The louder the sound is, the less time it takes for noise-induced hearing loss to occur You should be able to talk to someone who is 2m away from you without having to shout over any background noise. If you can’t be heard the noise levels could be causing damage.  If you go somewhere where the sound hurts your ears, you should leave. There are steps you can take to protect your hearing. Use noise cancelling headphones that block out more outside noise, rather than turning up the volume. Use ear protection equipment such as ear plugs if you work somewhere noise like a pub, nightclub, a workshop or on a building site. You should also wear them at concerts and other events with high noise levels. Don't have your television, radio or music on too loud By avoiding exposure to loud noises you can prevent noise induced hearing loss.
