At Just Ears Clinic, we recognise that a decline in hearing can be unsettling, particularly when it persists and is unrelated to ear wax accumulation. If you have noticed a decrease in your hearing over the past few months or years and know that it is not ear wax build up, it is essential to explore other possible causes.  Please join us over the next few months for a series of blogs that may help you understand the reason for your hearing loss.

 

Aging and Noise-Induced Damage

The most prevalent cause of hearing loss is age-related decline, which often goes unnoticed until it becomes more significant. As individuals age, their auditory structures and nerves may undergo changes, leading to reduced sensitivity in hearing. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to loud noises—such as heavy machinery, concerts, or even high-volume music—can accumulate over time, resulting in auditory damage. Fortunately, Just Ears Hearing offers a wide selection of premium hearing aids tailored to your individual needs, accompanied by five years of aftercare included with each purchase. This ongoing support can help you adjust and enhance your hearing capacity. For more details about our offerings, please visit Just Ears Hearing.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you notice any significant changes in your hearing—especially if accompanied by pain, discharge, or other concerning symptoms—it is paramount to consult a medical professional. You can start by visiting your general practitioner (GP), who can assess your condition and refer you to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, and throat doctor) or a hearing specialist can provide a thorough diagnosis and tailored treatment options based on your particular circumstances.
