You are looking at a photograph that was taken today of earwax that has built up inside the ear canal of a long term hearing aid user. Did you know? 👂
People who wear hearing aids often experience more earwax build-up — and it’s completely normal!
Hearing aids can stimulate the ear canal and prevent natural wax from moving out as it usually would. Over time, this can lead to a build-up that may affect sound quality, comfort, and even the performance of your device.
If your hearing aid doesn’t seem as clear as usual, earwax could be the reason.
✨ Regular ear checks and professional cleaning can make a big difference.
✨ Never insert cotton buds or objects into your ears — this can push wax deeper.
Looking after your ears means looking after your hearing. If you’re unsure, we’re here to help!
