There’s A Lot We Can Do For You!

Ear Wax Removal

Ear wax becomes a problem when excess amounts accumulate. Extra production can be complicated by use of ear buds, sound attenuating ear plugs, foreign objects inserted into canals like bobby pins and Q-tips. These items can cause impaction, hematoma, or ruptured ear drum, (tympanic membrane). Excess wax (cerumen) production can lead to outer ear infections, (otitis externa), discomfort, buzzing or ringing, headaches, balance issues, feeling of pressure, and hearing loss.

Bauer Hearing safely, comfortably, and effectively removes foreign material and excess wax from affected auditory canals. Visiting a capable, trained professional for cerumen management can provide you with strategies to avoid excess wax production and remedies to avoid future physical intervention. The ear canal is a self-cleaning organ that should require little effort to maintain if proper methods of treatment are employed.

Did you know having ear wax is natural and this substance serves an important function. We produce ear wax to trap dust, pollen, and pathogens from entering our ear canals and affecting our delicate inter-workings like ear drum, middle ear bones, and hearing organ, called cochlea or organ of cordi. Wax, (or cerumen), provides a form of lubrication to help with dryness and itchiness.

Video Otoscopy

See for yourself, what our experts see. The value of visualization should not be overlooked. It is vital in providing peace of mind and transparency.

Occluding wax, canal growth(s), foreign object(s), ear drum abnormalities, middle ear dysfunction, fluid or drainage issues, and ear infection(s) can all be visually observed and confirmed using this specialized tool. All this, part of the education and comprehensive experience at Bauer Hearing.

Hearing Tests

Because we know your hearing is important, hearing tests are always free at Bauer Hearing. A hearing test can demonstrate many aspects of overall health. Often issues of hyper-tension, high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, complications with diabetes, nerve legions and tumors can be detected initially through a hearing test. Changes in hearing function, even slight, can be an indication of other health issues. Because the hearing test helps to monitor overall health, it is recommended on an annual basis.

Often a hearing clinic is the first line of detection for outer, middle, and inner ear infections, middle ear complication and dysfunctions, and retro-cochlear pathology. A comprehensive, detailed explanation of hearing thresholds, and any concerns are clearly discussed at time of testing with recommendations and strategies to accommodate individual needs. Bauer Hearing sets forth a plan for continued supportive follow up for all hearing issues, to your hearing aid cleaning and repairs, quality programming, on-going service, and recommendation for ENT consult.

With Sars and Covid-19 we have seen a marked increase in labyrinthitis, inner-ear-infections. This type of infection requires immediate medical attention to avoid a permanent and disabling hearing deficit.
