Hear to Help
Clients often ask me, why do their ears seem to produce more earwax since wearing hearing aids? Hearing aids can stimulate the ear canal gland and cause it to produce more earwax than normal. This is why so many people report an increase of earwax when they begin using hearing aids: it’s how the body naturally reacts to something foreign in the ear. Up to 50% of hearing aid repairs are due to ear wax. Ear cleaning should also be a part of your hearing aid maintenance routine.
Why Does my Tooth Hurt?
Tooth pain can arise from various reasons, causing discomfort and affecting daily activities. The most common cause is tooth decay, where bacteria erode the enamel and reach the sensitive inner layers. Gum disease, characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums, can also lead to tooth pain. Dental abscesses, which are pus-filled infections, often result from untreated decay or severe gum disease. Tooth fractures or cracks can expose the nerves, causing sharp pain. Additionally, tooth sensitivity to hot or cold stimuli may indicate enamel erosion or gum recession. It is essential to seek professional dental care to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of tooth pain. It is essential to seek professional dental care to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of tooth pain. The sooner the pain is addressed, the better chance there is of saving the tooth.
