The ear or pinna funnels sound waves from the air, through the ear canal or external auditory meatus towards the middle ear. Wax often builds up in the meatus and whilst ear wax is quite normal, it can become an issue when impacted. Hearing aids can also whistle due to wax build-up. Pinnaclear can remove any ear wax under direct observation, by microsuction.
It occurs when there is nerve damage to the inner ear but also problems with the structure of the ear. The cochlea part of the inner ear consists of tiny little hair cells that respond to the sound around us. Over time and with age the number of hair cells in our ears reduces or stop functioning, resulting in a loss.
Just as your sight naturally deteriorates, so does your hearing. Age related hearing loss can begin at fifty years old and commonly affects the high frequencies of hearing first. This type of hearing loss is called Presbycusis. Do your friends and family keep saying that you can't hear? Remember, if you are turning the TV up and they have normal hearing, they will start to see the signs.
We live in an increasingly noisy environment but the general hubbub of noise around us isn't usually damaging to our ears. We rely on little hair cells in the cochlea part of the inner ear to convert sound into electrical impulses and when we are exposed to louder noise than our ears can handle, the hair cells are damaged resulting in a hearing loss and quite often tinnitus, too.
