Today is National No Smoking Day 🚭

A couple of lesser-known facts:

Smoking can increase ear wax buildup. The chemicals in cigarette smoke can irritate the lining of the ear canal and affect the glands that produce ear wax (cerumen). This irritation may lead to excess wax production and a higher chance of blockages.

Smoking can interfere with the ear’s natural cleaning process. To***co smoke damages tiny hair-like structures called cilia, which help move debris and wax out of the ear and through connected passages like the Eustachian tube. When these don’t work properly, wax and fluid can accumulate more easily, increasing the risk of ear discomfort, infections, and temporary hearing issues.

Often my clients thank me, but the truth is I should be thanking them.

I absolutely love what I do and feel very lucky to meet so many wonderful people through my work. Every appointment is a chance to chat, help someone feel more comfortable, and make a real difference to their day.

Receiving this lovely thank you card today really made my day – it’s always so nice to feel appreciated.

Collingwood Ear Care has now been part of my life for one year, and while ear care is at the heart of what I do, it’s not always just about ears. Over the past year I’ve also been able to help by making referrals and pointing people towards the right support when needed, helping them stay safe and supported in their own homes. That part of the job is the most rewarding.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me over the past year – it really means a lot 🥰👂

🦻 Hearing aids & ear wax

Hearing aids can be life-changing, but they can also make ear wax build up more quickly.
Because the hearing aid sits in the ear canal, it can stop wax from moving out naturally — instead, wax gets pushed further in and compacted.

I often see people who feel their hearing aid “isn’t working properly anymore”, when actually the issue is blocked ears rather than the device itself. This can lead to muffled sound, whistling, discomfort, or feeling like your hearing has worsened.

As a nurse, I always look at the bigger picture — hearing, balance, safety, and quality of life. Something as simple as checking and clearing ear wax can make a huge difference, especially for those who rely on hearing aids day to day.

If this sounds familiar for you or someone you care for, an ear check can be a simple first step before assuming the hearing aid is the problem.

Call 07716451597 or email collingwoodearcare@outlook.com if you think we can help.

Today I spent the day at the Copthorne Hotel with InSync Physiotherapy completing our statutory mandatory training. Ensuring I remain fully up to date with current guidance, best practice, and professional standards., as a CQC-registered service, ongoing training is an essential part of maintaining safe, effective, and high-quality care.

Thank you to everyone who continues to place their trust in Collingwood Ear Care — it really is appreciated.
