Earwax isn’t “dirt” — it’s your body’s way of protecting your ears.
It traps dust, debris, and even insects to keep your ear canal safe. Over-cleaning or using cotton buds might be doing more harm than good.

If your ears feel blocked, itchy, or uncomfortable, it’s best to let a professional check.

Book your next check-up with us to determine if gentle, safe wax removal is needed.

The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) has formally recognised fall risk assessment as part of the audiologist’s scope of practice. This means audiologists can now proactively assess fall risk, particularly in patients experiencing hearing or balance challenges.

💡 Why this matters:
- Hearing and balance are closely linked — untreated issues can increase fall risk.
- Audiologists are uniquely positioned to identify and support at-risk individuals early.
- Fall prevention can now be integrated into routine audiological care.

We’re also encouraged by the support from SASLHA as they equip professionals with training, workshops, and tools to confidently include this in their practice.

At Reneé Verson Audiologists, we’re proud to offer care that sees the whole person. www.reneeversonaudiologists.co.za

Have you ever felt pressure or discomfort in your ears while flying? This is called aeroplane ears - it happens when your middle ear can’t equalise the rapid changes in air pressure during takeoff and landing. ✈️👂

Your Eustachian tubes usually help balance this pressure, but sometimes they need a little extra help. Yawning, swallowing, or chewing gum can help ease the discomfort.

If you or your children often have trouble with ear pain during or after flights, please reach out to us — your hearing matters.
