Leave your earwax alone…

August 29, 2008

Guidelines have just been published in the US on earwax.  Basically, leave it alone, it serves an important biological function and all the fiddling folks generally do to remove it often just causes it to become impacted.

If you wear a hearing aid or something else that is likely to cause impaction, visit a doctor every 6 months to make sure everything is ok/to get it cleaned about by someone who won’t hurt your ears.

Weird but true…this has been a public service anouncement 😉
