  • What's this crackling noise in my ear?

    This crackling is likely a form of Tinnitus. It’s the sensation of ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds in the ears. For most people, Tinnitus doesn’t escalate to anything more than an annoyance and inconvenience. There are many causes of Tinnitus from earwax buildup to eardrum damage and many more. Therefore, treatment varies based on the cause. It’s best to consult an Audiologist or Otolaryngologist (ENT). READ MORE

  • Does hearing loss affect speech in adults?

    Yes, hearing loss can affect a person’s ability to speak clearly. This is because part of the speaking process includes vibration in your ears. Losing this sensation makes it a bit harder to feel what you’re saying. READ MORE

  • Can vertigo cause slurred speech?

    If you’re experiencing slurred speech and you also have vertigo symptoms, then I’d highly recommend you visit an Audiologist with a specialty in vestibular disorders. These two symptoms in tandem are not something you should leave alone. READ MORE

  • Will an otoplasty affect my ability to hear?

    You can rest easy knowing that an otoplasty will not affect your hearing. This surgery only involves shaping, molding, or removing cartilage on the outer ear. Not the middle or inner ear, where hearing takes place. READ MORE

  • What can be the cause of frequent ear infections?

    There are many ways of getting recurring (chronic) ear infections. Causes range from allergies to sinusitis to ear injuries to bacterial infections from colds or flu. If you haven’t visited an Otolaryngologist (ENT) already, then I’d suggest you do so. READ MORE

  • Neronitis

    Skydiving can most certainly worsen your symptoms. My recommendation would be to get a handle on your symptoms and determine if you have a vestibular (balance) disorder. You can do so by visiting an Audiologist who specializes in vestibular disorders. READ MORE

  • Is it possible to get ear drops over the counter?

    We wouldn’t recommend any OTC drops, however, you can use child-formula Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin to help alleviate the pain. Anything more than that, please call your pediatrician for advice. READ MORE

  • Why is my right ear clogged?

    Yes, given the proximity of the back of the jaw and the ear, tooth pain can often travel to the ear. This is caused by nerves misinterpreting the location of pain and a build up of fluid. Normally, as jaw swelling goes down, your ear clog should as well. However, since it has been four months, I would recommend you visit an Audiologist or Otolaryngologist (ENT Doctor) to determine the source of this problem. READ MORE

  • How can I treat son's ear infection at home?

    Although some people find success in treating their ear infections with home remedies, the chances of causing more pain is too high. And therefore not recommended. I would recommend you visit an Otolaryngologist (ENT Doctor). READ MORE

  • How often should I have a hearing test?

    Getting your ears checked every 3 to 5 years is a general best practice. Because hearing loss often occurs gradually, it can be difficult to recognize when you have it. READ MORE

  • Is a hearing test needed after a loud concert?

    Yes, I would encourage you to go see an Audiologist or Otolaryngologist (ENT). In general, sounds above 85 dB (decibels) are harmful, depending on how long and how often you are exposed to them and whether you wear hearing protection, such as earplugs or earmuffs. For reference, normal conversation is about 60 dB, a lawn mower is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about 120 dB. READ MORE

  • What's the normal hearing range for a child?

    General hearing loss should not start setting in until middle-age or later. Children should have full-range of hearing. However, if your daughter is having trouble hearing at a young age, then she might have some level of hearing impairment. READ MORE

  • Can conductive hearing loss be corrected?

    Conductive hearing loss occurs in the outer or middle ear where sound waves are not able to carry all the way through to the inner ear. Yes, it is possible for conductive hearing loss to be reversed through medical or surgical intervention. READ MORE

  • Why do I hear ringing in my ears?

    This ringing in the ears is called Tinnitus. It’s the sensation of ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds in the ears. For most people, Tinnitus doesn’t escalate to anything more than an annoyance and inconvenience. It can be a symptom of vestibular (balance) disorders.

Therefore, treatment varies based on the cause. It’s best to consult an Audiologist or Otolaryngologist (ENT). READ MORE

  • Why does hearing loss happen as you age?

    Age-related hearing loss is caused by degeneration of sensory cells. It cannot, unfortunately, be reversed. However, it can be treated effectively with hearing aids and other communication devices. READ MORE

  • Does hearing loss affect your speech?

    Yes, hearing loss can affect a person’s ability to speak clearly. This is because part of the speaking process includes vibration in your ears. Losing this sensation makes it a bit harder to feel what you’re saying. READ MORE

  • Why won't my ear infection go away?

    Middle ear infections can affect your hearing – muffling sounds and your overall ability to hear. This can be unsettling, but it's almost always temporary and doesn't result in any permanent hearing loss. I suggest visiting an Otolaryngologist (ENT) for advice. READ MORE
