⚠️WEATHER CLOSURE NOTICE

Attention Patients:

Due to severe weather conditions and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our patients and staff, our office will be closed today.

The safety of everyone in our care is our top priority, and current road and travel conditions make it unsafe to operate on a normal schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Our team will be contacting patients who had appointments scheduled to assist with rescheduling as soon as possible. If you need to reach us regarding an urgent (non-emergency) matter, please leave a message with our office, and we will return your call once we reopen.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Thank you for your patience. Please stay safe and we look forward to seeing you soon.

ENT JOKE:
The doctor said to stop using Q- Tips, but it went in one ear and out the other.

DON’T USE Q-TIPS IN YOUR EARS

Why Q-tips are not recommended
• Q-tips usually push ear wax deeper into the ear canal
• This can cause wax blockage (impaction)
• May lead to muffled hearing, ear pain, ringing, or dizziness
• Can scratch the ear canal or damage the eardrum
• Increases the risk of infection

Safe ear care tips
• Ears are self-cleaning — wax normally moves out on its own
• Do not insert cotton swabs, tissues, hairpins, or other objects
• Use ear drops only if recommended by a healthcare professional

When to seek care
Contact us if you experience:
• A feeling of fullness or blockage
• Decreased hearing
• Ear pain, ringing, or discomfort

Visit AOP for professional ear care
If you feel you may have ear wax buildup, the team at AOP can safely evaluate and remove wax when needed.

Protect your ears. Protect your hearing.

Wax build-up is one of the main causes that your hearing aid stops working. It is important to change your wax filter regularly because earwax can clog up the sound outlets in your hearing aids, resulting in weak or distorted sound. Here is a video that shows you how to change your filters.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
