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