Sometimes tinnitus can be caused by ear wax blockage so maintain a regular ear hygiene routine is crucial

Unfortunately, for the majority of us here, ear wax has nothing to do with it.  It is a main ingredient along with hearing loss for those who fight this battle every day.

I decided to go to the doctors straight after my tinnitus research it was only a ear wax blockage so the doctor just said its crucial I maintain my ear hygiene because many people don't realise it can lead to other more serious problems, so now I have a selection of ear hygiene treatments - [mod edit]

possibly you can make your batteries prone to getting empty so so0n...!
Zinc air hearing aid batteries use oxygen to produce energy to run the hearing aid. Since zinc air batteries contain tiny air holes, certain environmental factors like water vapor can affect battery life. Normally, the concentration of zinc air eloectrolyte will cause the cell to have an internal humidity of 50-60 percent. At lower humidity levels, the cell will lose water, concentrating the electrolyte. Eventually, at this lower humidity level, the cell will lose its effectiveness. When the ambient air has a higher humidity level, the cell takes up water, which dilutes the electrolyte and floods the cathode. Again, the battery cannot function.

This is why the best way to make your hearing aid battery last longer is to minimize water transfer. All zinc air cells have a tab that covers the air holes to insure freshness prior to use. Once the tab is removed, water transfer begins. You can try re-tabbing the cell when the hearing aid is not being used. The effect of re-tabbing will vary based on the ambient environment the battery is subjected to. Re-tabbing will have little effect if your typical battery service life is less than five days, or if the ambient humidity conditions are around 50 percent. Re-tabbing could be very beneficial if your typical service life is longer than 10 days, or if the ambient humidity conditions are either to low (northern climate winters) or too high (non air-conditioned summers).

I have never heard of this before today and I'm not actually going to do it, I'm just curious about the technology. It's like somewhere between a HA and CI, at least to me it is based on my super limited knowledge of it.

Anyone?
