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