Who knew ear wax could tell us so much about our health?!

Purbeck Ear Care - It's not just about ear wax removal

Earwax can contain valuable indicators to a person's health. Now scientists are analysing its chemistry in the hope of finding new ways of diagnosing diseases.

I had an interesting client this morning who is undergoing immunotherapy for their melanoma and came to me because their hearing in the left ear had greatly reduced, felt full, with the tinnitus increased.

I was worried that it may be a side effect of the immunotherapy where there is a rare risk of permenant hearing loss https://www.oncnursingnews.com/view/increasing-awareness-of-audiovestibular-adverse-events-from-immune-checkpoint-inhibitors

Upon observation I found the ear full of wax and when I removed the top wax plug revealed a suspected otitis externa (outer ear infection) for which I sent the client to the GP for diagnosis and treatment.

Even with the wax plug removed and wax/potential infected debris on the Tympanic Membrane (ear drum), their hearing was greatly improved but I still cautioned about the risk to hearing from the immunotherapy and to keep an eye out for it.

Purbeck Ear Care - It's not just about ear wax removal.

Oncology nurses play a critical role in identifying and managing rare audiovestibular complications associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors to prevent permanent hearing loss and improve patients' quality of life.

Just to make it absolutely clear that Purbeck Ear Care clinic is a safe space for ALL.

I am here to support your ear health and it is my priority that you feel safe, seen, and heard.

I support many diverse groups in Purbeck according to their individual needs, identity, and expression.

And I wouldn't have it any other way 😁
