Hearing aids are only part of the solution 👂🧠

Your brain also needs time and practice to adjust to hearing sounds and conversations more clearly again. That’s why hearing aids purchased from Wigan Hearing include access to LACE AI Pro—interactive listening and communication training you can complete at home.

LACE AI Pro can help you practise:

✅ Understanding speech in challenging situations
✅ Listening with background noise
✅ Memory and processing skills
✅ Communication strategies for everyday life

It’s another way we support you beyond simply fitting hearing aids.

Earwax, or cerumen, serves several important functions in the ear. Despite sometimes being seen as a nuisance, it plays a crucial role in maintaining ear health. Here's why we have earwax:

1. Protection

Barrier Against Foreign Particles: Earwax helps trap dust, dirt, and other small particles that could otherwise enter the ear canal and potentially damage the eardrum.

Water Repellent: It creates a barrier that repels water, helping to prevent moisture from entering the ear canal, which could lead to infections.

2. Lubrication

Moisturizes the Skin: The ear canal is lined with delicate skin, and earwax helps keep it moisturized, preventing dryness and itching.

3. Antimicrobial Properties

Fights Infections: Earwax has antibacterial and antifungal properties, helping to protect the ear canal from infections. Its slightly acidic pH can deter the growth of harmful bacteria.

4. Self-Cleaning Mechanism

Natural Cleaning Process: As earwax is produced, it gradually moves from the deeper parts of the ear canal to the outer part, carrying with it dead skin cells, hair, and debris. Eventually, it dries up and falls out of the ear naturally or is washed away during bathing.

5. Indicator of Ear Health

Earwax Consistency and Color: Changes in the color, texture, or amount of earwax can sometimes indicate underlying health conditions, such as infections or blockages, making it a useful indicator for doctors.

Overall, earwax is a natural substance that plays a critical role in protecting and maintaining the health of your ears. In most cases, it doesn't require removal, and the ear takes care of it on its own. However, if earwax buildup leads to blockage or discomfort, it may require medical attention.
