Hearing Test

Unread post by CN211276 »

Having reached the big 60 last month I was eligeble for a free test. I passed with flying colours but the testing was only up to 8khz so I wonder how relevant it was. I was advised to have my ears syrynged and have made the arrangements. Wonder if this will be my cheapest ever hifi upgrade. 8-)

Did they advise you to use any ear drops to soften the earway before the syringing ?

My doctors don't syringe anymore, they use an ultrasonic device to dispel excess earwax.

The olive oil is nothing special, have you any in the kitchen ?

Warm olive oil is preferable.

Asda do a tube of olive oil you can squirt it in your lug hole, works a treat. Once a week I was advised at Boots.
