Why Hearing Health Matters

Good ear and hearing health is important to people of all ages and helps us to get the most out of life.

When our ability to hear deteriorates it requires more energy for us to listen and participate in daily life, which can lead to becoming socially isolated as people find it harder to engage with loved ones.

Whilst it is common for certain people to attend routine health check-ups such as eye and teeth procedures on a regular basis, our ears are often left forgotten. This should not be the case.

Hearing loss has huge social implications on our quality of life. Hearing loss, if left untreated, can lead to increased risk of falls, social isolation, and is also known to be the single largest modifiable risk factor for the prevention of dementia. Not only that we are often unaware of what we cannot hear, that’s why regular ear and hearing health check-ups are essential

Highland Hears Aural Health Clinicians use the Tympa system which is the world’s first all-in-one ear and hearing healthcare assessment device.

It brings together three different diagnostic and treatment systems into one hand-held portable system. The Tympa allows our clinicians to perform; high-definition digital otoscopy (to capture HD image and video), micro suction wax removal (the industry gold standard), and carry out a hearing screening, all in a single 30-minute appointment.

During an appointment your clinician will be able to assess your ears, and if wax is present, gently remove it with micro suction. Micro suction is the gold standard of wax removal and is considered safer than other methods such as irrigation. Once wax has been removed a hearing screening can be performed. This will identify whether you have a level of hearing loss. If you do have a hearing loss your clinician may refer you to an audiologist for further investigation. However, in many cases, the initial problem could’ve simply been down to the presence of wax itself.
