Diary of a Hearing Aid Audiologist:
I've seen a client today who uses earbuds to 'remove wax'. Upon examining her ears, some wax had been rammed right up against the eardrum and there were visible signs of injury to the ear canal skin surface. This made it unsafe to take ear impressions. PLEASE DO NOT USE EARBUDS IN THE EAR CANAL. Consult your Doctor for safe removal of ear wax.
