There is sometimes a build up of ear wax, which needs to be dissolved. Drops are available to soften the wax, so that it can naturally be dispersed or it may need to be syringed at the surgery.
Patients often experience a muffled sound, and/or seem to have the tone of the Television turned up higher than normal.
They could also experience vertigo or balance instability.
If ear pain is present that could indicate that an infection is developing and so ear softeners should NOT be used otherwise when the wax starts to melt pain can develop and then an infection could spread.
Parks Medical Supplies stocks a comprehensive range of Ear Wax Softeners and Ear Plugs.
