🎒 School’s back! But how are the kids faring… and, most importantly, can they actually hear their teachers? 👂😂

We recently shared some impressive wax plugs removed from a youngster, so it’s worth remembering that blocked ears aren’t just an adult problem!

If they’re saying “what?” more than usual, turning things up louder, complaining their ears feel blocked or just don’t seem to be hearing quite as well, an ear check could be worthwhile.

Let’s make sure “I didn’t hear the teacher” isn’t a genuine excuse this term! 😅

☔👂 Hello September!

Here’s Rachel hiding from what felt like the only bit of rain we had all summer… 😂 And, dare we say it, we’re actually quite ready for a bit more!

The ‘ber months are officially here, the kids are heading back to school and we’re looking forward to a busy few months at RTW.

Here’s hoping September brings us plenty more lovely patients, plenty more ears to clear… and PLEASE, plenty more rain for the gardens! 🌧️🌿

Happy September everyone 💜

👂 You never know what's hiding in your kids' ears! 👀

These two wax plugs came from one youngster. One from each ear! 😲 They had probably been building up for quite some time.

Ear wax build-up isn't just something that happens as we get older. Children can get blocked up too, sometimes without even realising it.

So if your little one is complaining of muffled hearing, asking "what?" more often, turning the TV up, or simply seems to have blocked ears, it might be worth getting them checked.

👂 A nice bit of Saturday morning breakfast viewing for you… 😂

This was a seriously stubborn wax plug! It took several visits to gradually loosen and remove.

This is why we recommend using olive oil ear spray before your appointment. It helps soften and lubricate the wax, making removal easier.

If a blockage has been there for a long time, though, even with regular oiling, it can sometimes take several visits over a few weeks to fully loosen.

So if you've been putting off getting your ears sorted… don't let it get this stubborn! 😅

👂🧠 Did you know your hearing and brain health are connected?

Research suggests there’s a link between hearing loss and cognitive decline. When you struggle to hear, your brain has to work harder to process sounds, and untreated hearing loss can also lead to social isolation.

Getting your ears checked can help make sure something as simple as ear wax isn’t contributing to hearing difficulties.

Looking after your hearing is part of looking after your overall health 💜

☀️ Summer hours are nearly over! 👂

With the summer holidays coming to an end, this is the last chance to take advantage of extra appointments!

During the school holidays, Rachel has been working extended hours on the days she’s in clinic, meaning there have been more appointments available than usual.

So if you’ve been meaning to get your ears checked or have some wax removed, now is the perfect time to take advantage of the extra availability.

📞 Get in touch to book an appointment. Remember, some of our extra appointments may not show online, so it’s always worth giving us a call on 07933289585!

⚠️ Wax Plug of the Week... with a surprise inside! 👀⚠️

This might just be the ultimate wax plug... because hidden inside was a piece of cotton wool! 😲

The patient had been using cotton wool to soak up excess ear oil, but unfortunately it became lodged in the ear. Judging by the amount of wax that had built up around it, it had been there for quite some time!

It's a good reminder that it's best not to put anything into your ears, even if it seems harmless. Cotton wool, cotton buds and other objects can become trapped or push wax further into the ear, leading to blockages and discomfort.

Thankfully, everything was safely removed, and the patient left hearing much more clearly. 👂💜

☀️🎒 School's out for summer! 🎒☀️

With the school holidays now here, Rachel will be working longer hours, which means we've got more appointments available than ever over the summer! 👂✨

So if you can't find a time that works for you online, please give us a call. We often have additional availability that we can book you into over the phone. 💜
