Could an ear infection cause hearing loss? #AllEars

You should avoid wearing hearing aids to bed. By removing your hearing aids at night, you are allowing the skin on your ear canal to breathe and for earwax to gradually migrate out of the ear. Instead, you should remove your hearing aids before going to bed and open the battery door to help conserve battery life.

Boo! Happy Halloween! We hope that it's a spooky and fun occasion for you all. What's your Halloween costume this year?

When people think of hearing aids, they don't always think of futuristic technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). We're seeking to change this misconception forever. New hearing aids powered with AI technology are turning hearing aids into a new wearable that everyone wants to try. Activity tracking? Check. Translating speech into 27 languages? Check. Read our blog to learn how modern tech is changing the face of hearing aids as we know it.

The answer ultimately depends on your hearing loss. If a professional evaluation indicates that you have hearing loss in both ears, two hearing aids may be recommended. While it may be tempting to try to limit the cost by going with a single hearing aid, the truth is that one hearing aid simply cannot do the job of two.

In short, yes, earwax can cause hearing loss. But it doesn’t occur as commonly as one might think. In fact, very few patients who are seen by hearing healthcare professionals have hearing loss that is literally due to excessive earwax (cerumen impaction). If you think you have a hearing issue related to excessive earwax, call our office and we can help you find out.
