Communication is the key to a healthy relationship

Day-to-day communication among couples, whether about important matters or daily routine talks are the cornerstone of a healthy relationship. Hearing loss can cause those small but important interactions to be lost. When communication breaks down, frustration creeps in. That frustration can lead to resentment, which leads to further breakdown in communication and intimacy.



Hearing loss can cause a cascade of detrimental effects and negative emotions between partners. Among these:

  • Frustration
  • Loneliness, i.e. the hearing partners feel that they are missing out on companionship
  • Curtailing of social activities, withdrawal from social interaction
  • Decrease in intimate talk, joking with family
  • Shared communication difficulties
  • Decrease in shared activities such as watching TV
  • Loss of companionship
  • Decrease in communication

Treasure Your Ability to Communicate

Without a strong bridge of communication, both you and your partner may feel lonely, isolated, unsupported, frustrated and unheard. So instead of bottling up your emotions and frustrations, share them with one another. Reflect on your experience with hearing problems as a couple, listening to one another and acknowledging the difficulties.

Don’t underestimate relatively brief communication either. While intimate discussions are important in a relationship, so are little jokes and brief updates. The little things mean a lot in the long run and can help strengthen a couple’s connection

Exercise Compassion

Whether you or your loved one live with hearing loss, be compassionate towards your partner and acknowledge their frustrations.

Take a moment to think about how your health condition affects the people around you. It may feel as if you’re the only one struggling, but your struggle rubs off on everyone around you. And if you refuse to seek treatment, you are putting your relationships at risk.

One of the most important contributors to successful hearing aid use is support from loved ones. HNR speech & hearing clinic helps you understand the cooperation and support to your impaired love one. Book your visit today.

Earwax built-up can affect your hearing

Earwax blockage occurs when earwax builds up in your inner ear or becomes too tough to wash away naturally. We try all kinds of methods which end up damaging our inner ear.

Earwax is a helpful and natural part of your body's sensory defenses. It coats and protects your ear canal by trapping dirt and reducing the growth of bacteria.

If earwax block becomes a painful or hearing problem, your health care provider might help you with simple steps to remove the wax safely.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of earwax block include:

·        Pain in the inner ear

·        Feeling heavy or fullness in the ear

·        Ringing or chirping in the ear (tinnitus)

·        Hearing loss

·        Dizziness

·        Cough

·        Itchiness in the ear

·        Liquid or fluid discharge from the ear

·        Pain or infection in the ear

See a Hearing Specialist

Generally, earwax blockage that has no symptoms can sometimes it will discharge on its own. However, if you have signs and pain in the inner ear it may turn into infection and hearing problem, take advice from the specialist.

Signs and symptoms may differ in each condition

There's no way to understand that if you have too much earwax without showing to someone who knows and understands, usually your hearing specialist looks in your ears. Having signs and symptoms, such as pain in the ear or hearing problems, doesn't always mean you have full ears.

Wax removal sessions are safe with the hearing professional.

Remember your ear canal, inner tissue and eardrum are sensitive and can be damaged easily if you treat them roughly. Do not try to pick your earwax yourself by putting any object in your ear canal, such as a cotton swab, especially if you have had any surgery in the ear, perforation in your eardrum, or are having ear ache or drainage.
