MSNBC's Kathleen Doheny reported the new scientific findings that the use of hearing aids could create some body function problems, ex. clogged ear canals. The basic function of ear wax is to lubricate the ear itself and keep anything out of ordinary.
The title of MSNBC article is "Leave That Ear Wax Alone". Its recommendation is the regular visit to the ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) specialists to clean out the excessive ear waxs twice per year. www.msnbc.com and type Kathleen Doheny on any ISP search engine.
Being totally deaf is a true blessing as compared to such troublesome hassles with the use of hearing aids or have a cochlear implant. That should be a beware sign for parents of deaf youngsters from audismizing their offsprings. Naturalistic approach of letting deaf children be deaf themselves like "Let Reagan be Reagan" or "Let McCain be McCain".
The recent news reportings about the spider lived in one young boy's inner ear docrum. Many people tend to be obsessive about cleaning out their inner ears on daily basis. That is very unhealthy thing to do is to interfere with the basic human function(s).
