There are about 20 pages in the search facility for issues linked to Ear Wax, but I couldn't see a posting relating CIEMs and Ear Wax
(Short Story Long).
I noted that the volume on my Panasonic TV had to be pushed up to 55 - 60 to hear speach on streaming channels such as Netflix. YouTube would have to be about 35.
It was my fault as I had used cotton wool buds (AGAIN) to try and clear my ears of the excess.
Obviously a mistake.
So off I went to a 'new' hearing clinic (based in the West Country) that offered both types of clearance. Water and suction. It was established that I have a 'Well' area accessable below the ear drum. It was in that location that the wax had been pushed. As I've had the suction before, we went with that method. What she was able to remove was horrifying, as they always are. I could have cemented a 10 foot x 10 foot brick wall with what was retreived.
Anywho...
Going back to the TV volume test, I was able to hear quite clearly speach on News Channels at 8- 10 level, Streaming services at 15 - 20, and YouTube at about 6.
(The above levels could be lowered with me concentrating on the dialogue)
So, now to CIEMs..... in essence, am I not in danger of pushing accumulated wax back down into the 'Ear Well' impairing my hearing again? (I forgot to ask the expert, hence the question).
Desparate to use my 'Roxannes' again with my 'new' shiny ears, but weary that I will have to turn the volume back up on my TV again !!
Your view please....
