Hearing & Symptoms

If something does not feel right with your ears — muffled hearing, a blocked sensation, ringing, earache or dizziness — this category is a good place to start. The articles here explain common ear and hearing symptoms in plain language, help you understand whether wax is likely to be the cause, and guide you on when to seek professional help. Many hearing problems that seem worrying are caused simply by ear wax build-up and resolve quickly with treatment. Jo England, specialist ear care nurse at Ear Rescue in Boston, Lincolnshire, helps you make sense of what you are experiencing and know what to do next.
