Ear Wax Microsuction London Clinic Review

One of our staff found the best ear wax microsuction clinic in London. Here is our review…

One of our staff was up in London for a conference last week, and the day before the conference both of her ears blocked up. Here’s what she told us about her ordeal.

Both Ears Blocked With Wax

I was on my way to a conference in London last week, and went up the day before so I wouldn’t have to rush in first thing in the morning. When I woke up, my ears felt a bit squelchy, but after having a shower both ears were completely blocked and I couldn’t hear a thing! It was so frustrating. No matter how much wiggling and pulling on my ear lobes, they just wouldn’t unblock.

Anyway, I needed to get in to London, so I jumped on the train to the capital and hoped it would unblock some time during the morning. I had a lunch meeting arranged with a colleague and I really needed my ears to be working for that! But alas, they were still stubbornly blocked. Well, my colleague was very understanding an we went on Google to look for “ear wax microsuction London“.

We found a clinic with great reviews, and they’re just a short walk from Baker Street station in Central London… which was great, because the conference was in Euston, just a couple of stops away from Baker Street on the Underground. They have a great website and I was able to book online.

What Happened At The Ear Wax Microsuction Appointment

I was greeted by a lovely lady, who explained the process and asked about my medical history relevant to my ear health. She examined my ears with an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) microscope and then explained that the ear wax microsuction procedure uses a microscope and a medical suction unit that is specially designed for use in the ear canal, with a fine sterile suction tip on the end. She was able to see exactly where the ear wax was, and removed the ear wax without a fuss.

Other Methods Of ear Wax Removal

Because I only had a day to put oil in to soften the wax, some of it was rather stubborn and the suction was too gentle to get it out. Fortunately, all the practitioners at the clinic are trained to use ENT micro instruments, and within a few minutes both of my ears were clear and my hearing was better than ever.

Where To Get Ear Microsuction London

While I wouldn’t want to have an ear wax microsuction done every day, it was amazing to be able to hear again and the whole procedure was painless. I would thoroughly recommend this clinic to anyone with blocked ears, who wants to be looked after by friendly, expertly trained staff. Here’s where to go:

How Much Do Digital Hearing Aids Cost?

Posted by Anne Walters on May 6, 2014

Portfolio-Dummy-Sleeve-5-Pack-v3 (1)How much do hearing aids cost is a very common question that you come across. This is because of the fact that you will not be able to assess a hearing aid on your own. There are different kinds of hearing aids too. There are some that are digital in nature and there are others that are not digital in nature. The digital hearing devices are the ones that are much more expensive than the ones that are not digital in nature. So, you will have to make sure that you make the right selection.

The development in various kinds of technology, especially the nano technology, has helped to create some amazingly small devices that are very effective too. The sound that is heard by the person who is using it is crystal clear. In spite of the crystal clear sound, many people do not prefer them because they are much more expensive. The cost of these devices could be anywhere between $2000 and $3000.

Digital Hearing Aids and Their Advantages

Posted by Anne Walters on May 5, 2014

images (6)As more and more people have gravitated toward digital hearing aids and moved away from analog hearing aids, it has been found that the digital options do truly have a number of advantages that their analog counterparts do not. Some of the advancements and advantages associated with hearing aids that are digital include:

  • More comfort – One of the main annoyances for wearers of analog hearing aids is the discomfort that results from high intensity sounds. Those who use digital aids have found that this discomfort has been nullified for the most part. The reason for this is because digital aids have an input signal-specific band dependence, more channels and knee pints with lower compression thresholds. This leads to a greater level of satisfaction among users because it reduces the intensity of environmental sounds and microphone noise that is commonly annoying to those users who have used analog hearing aids.
  • Digital feedback reduction – There are feedback reduction systems that are so advanced that they are able to monitor for feedback while the user is wearing the hearing aid. When this occurs, moderate feedback is eliminated through a cancellation filter that is included in the hearing aid. People that bother them during jaw movement or when they are in close proximity to noise can benefit from this common feature of digital hearing aids.
  • Digital noise reduction – This feature of digital hearing devices is able to reduce noise gain that comes in the form of low frequencies or in specific bands. Although there have been studies done with digital noise reduction aids that show that the effectiveness of these systems is mixed, experts agree that they can be effective at working to improve speech recognition as long as the noise is non-fluctuating.
  • Digital speech enhancement – These systems are effective at increasing the intensity of certain segments of speech. The digital speech enhancement technology is new in hearing aids and, as a result, its effectiveness is not completely known. Case studies are still being performed to find out how effective this speech enhancement is among users.
  • Directional microphones – Although there were some bumpy roads that had to be traveled in developing this technology, the use of directional microphones in hearing aids is now well-established. In fact, when these microphones are used with DSP, the benefit may even be enhanced.

Before too long, there is a good chance that hearing aids which use digital technologies will completely replace analog hearing aids. However this is not likely to occur until the price for hearing aids that are digital decreases a little more.

In addition to this, there are still some bugs being worked out of certain aspects of digital technology. Many users of hearing aids do not want to volunteer to be test patients while the bugs are worked out. For this reason, many have decided to forego using digital aids until the time comes when they feel the devices can be relied upon to work effectively. Because of these high expectations associated with the use of digital hearing aids, manufacturers are constantly trying to make new advancements which would make these more attractive to potential buyers.
