Here at Reflexationz, I offer a comprehensive Ear Health appointment using the very latest, cutting edge technology which includes:
Approximately 1 in 6 people in the UK experience some form of hearing loss. Regular check-ups can help identify and address issues before they become serious.
Accumulation of earwax can cause blockages that lead to discomfort, itching, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Getting checked can alleviate these annoying symptoms.
Regular ear examinations can help detect other underlying health issues, such as infections or structural problems within the ear.
Professional ear cleaning is safer and more effective than home remedies, reducing the risk of injury or infection.
Clear hearing improves communication and social interactions, enhancing your overall quality of life.
Hearing loss is not just an auditory issue; it can have significant implications for overall health. Studies have shown that untreated hearing loss can increase the risk of:
Dementia
Research indicates that individuals with hearing loss are up to five times more likely to develop dementia compared to those with normal hearing. This is often linked to social isolation and cognitive decline.
Depression and Anxiety
Difficulty in hearing can lead to frustration and withdrawal from social situations, increasing the risk of mental health issues.
Falls and Injuries
Hearing loss can impair balance and awareness of surroundings, raising the risk of falls, especially in older adults.
On average, humans produce around 1 to 2 grams of earwax per week. It plays a vital role in protecting the ear from dust, debris, and microorganisms.
Genetic factors determine the type of earwax you have. In the UK, about 90% of people have wet earwax, while 10% have dry earwax.
Over 50% of UK adults admit to using cotton buds to clean their ears, which can push wax further in and cause blockages.
A survey revealed that nearly 40% of people in the UK do not regularly get their ears checked, despite the importance of ear health.
