Ears Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
Wax in
Select
a
an
the
ears is possibly
Select
a
an
the
most common cause of
Select
a
an
the
gradual loss of hearing but it is also
Select
a
an
the
protective excretion from
Select
a
an
the
lining of
Select
a
an
the
ears. Patients who work in dusty jobs certainly get trouble more often. This may be partly due to particles piling up in
Select
a
an
the
ear passages, but it is also because
Select
a
an
the
secretion of wax actually collects dust particles.
Wax can partly block
Select
a
an
the
ear channels so that soundwaves are limited in
Select
a
an
the
effect, but
Select
a
an
the
delicate, complicated mechanism of
Select
a
an
the
middle ear can also seize up if wax gets into
Select
a
an
the
works. This mechanism includes three very tiny bones which must be able to move very freely if their owner is to hear properly.
Wax is sometimes pushed on to these bones by
Select
a
an
the
over-enthusiastic patient using various tools to try to get
Select
a
an
the
wax out. I have even heard
Select
a
an
the
patient say he uses
Select
a
an
the
toothpick to clean his ears. This is dangerous and can damage
Select
a
an
the
walls of
Select
a
an
the
passages and allow infection to get in, as well as push
Select
a
an
the
wax further along. If you think your trouble is wax go to
Select
a
an
the
doctor and he or she will be able to syringe
Select
a
an
the
wax out of
Select
a
an
the
ear safely.
