In the planning meetings leading up to the event we had numerous, DETAILED discussions about ear wax, removal, and making sure there were enough supplies and tools on hand for the ENT's to use. <br /><br />After every discussion, we'd all look around at each other and laugh wondering what people would think when they read our meeting minutes years down the road.O-town Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462693501650732288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-27573649576742750102011-12-18T17:47:01.814-08:002011-12-18T17:47:01.814-08:00Have you had the battle of the batteries yet?

(Why is he the only one in recent memory who has only one hearing aid?) This invariably happens on Sunday at the beginning of the sermon. I have suggested that he change the battery every Sunday before we go to church. You can imagine how that goes over.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-5733826630606458612011-12-13T23:40:06.255-08:002011-12-13T23:40:06.255-08:001nana, a very interesting blog and very informativ...1nana, a very interesting blog and very informative.

I have no idea why we said that to each other. Now, I learn we should mind our ear wax to make sure it doesn't build up.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-34620140213225301642011-12-09T17:26:35.669-08:002011-12-09T17:26:35.669-08:00Ah, This was a great post!

Since I recently got hearing aids, for many of the same reasons your spouse did, I have noticed them not working so well lately. So, I am thinking I may have to make an appointment as well.<br /><br />Thanks for posting! You just never know who is going to be the one who needs it!<br /><br />Thanks also for your comments on my recent post. I appreciate your encouragement.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-13938226966918449652011-12-09T14:35:51.694-08:002011-12-09T14:35:51.694-08:00I have to have this done fairly often.

The theory is it loosens up and softens the wax. The reality is, it stinks to high heaven and stains the pillowcases! We never realise our hearing is impaired until AFTER having our ears syringed, it's a fact! All my adult life I've trotted along on an annual basis to have it done - up until moving here. It's ten years since my last one (mutter, mutter)!Shrinkyhttp://shrinky1.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643182421561288851.post-71190518356450027372011-12-09T05:47:36.331-08:002011-12-09T05:47:36.331-08:00I have to have my ears roto-rooters every five yea...I have to have my ears roto-rooters every five years or so, and I don't wear hearing aids. It just builds up and one day, I can't hear out of one of them. In Boulder, my doctor would put me in a room with the water squirter and told me to go to town myself. She came in and checked my progress and finished up what I missed. I wish more doctors would do that...DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
