This is one of the most common questions that are asked. People can’t look in their own ears (unless trained to do so) so they wouldn’t know if there is a wax build up affecting sound getting through.
Common signs include:
-tinnitus (ringing/buzzing sounds in the ear)
-irritation or itching in the ear
-sudden hearing loss (can be noticed when flying or after swimming)
-blocked ears or sounds seem muffled
-dizziness
-earache
This list is just a few examples of many symptoms. Some people don’t even know until their ears have been looked into.
Just how we get our eyes and teeth checked regularly, it’s vital to have your ears checked too.
It doesn’t just affect the elderly!
We have clinics in Preston, Blackburn and Blackpool and our Audiologists are available for home visits all over Lancashire. Get in touch and ask us how we can help you get your hearing back!
