Are you flying off somewhere hot soon?
For many travellers, pressure and pain in the ears during a flight can be extremely annoying and even painful. And almost as unpleasant is having to wait another 12 hours, or longer, before being able to hear normally again.
The pain is due to air pressure change when the aircraft climbs and descends which affects the inner ear. Any change in pressure can unfortunately cause the ear to produce more wax as a means of natural defence.
Many clients tell stories of stress and anxiety when they have been forced to seek medical advice in a foreign country where English is hard to find, or have spent their entire holiday in pain with loss of hearing.
Before you fly, we at Ear Suction Hawke’s Bay can offer you:
• A free ear health assessment
• Ear wax removal if required
• Advice on widely available products which may ease discomfort
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
