how often should you have a hearing test if you can't hear well?
we can do hearing tests as often as necessary. but usually not. once you have a hearing loss, if can fix it, unless there a determination in hearing, you may not need another one. see more...
hi wl
<br/>
<br/>all you can do is make the ear cleaning a positive experience. initially touch the ear without trying to medicate the ear and at the same time give a positive reward such as a treat...this is going to take a period of time before you can eventually put the medication in.
<br/>
<br/>the other thing that you should note is that the ears are probably painful and it might be advisable for the clinician to give you some pain relief...this will cost extra. in addition it might be a good idea to put on prednisolone / antihistamine to reduce the inflammation
<br/>
<br/>generally the most important thing is to constantly check the ears to see if they are dirty before the development of clinical signs. ear problems can be associated with skin allergies such as food anditmight be a good idea to put your dog on a novel protein diet for 10 weeks to see if there is an improvement.
<br/>eventually you should clean the ears on a regular basis with a good quality ear cleaner - i use epiotic/otoclean..it appears to give the best results.

<br/>i hope this is helpfull hi, thank you for your question. headaches are a common problem among our population. your headaches that causes you to hardly do anything can be a terrifying experience for you. furthermore, the earache that accompanies your headache must be troublesome for you.
there are 2 main types of headaches which are primary headache and secondary headache. primary headache is only due to the headache itself without other causes. examples are tension headache, cluster headache and migraine. secondary headache is due to underlying health conditions, such as sinusitis, meningitis, trauma, tumour, bleeding and medications. some of these conditions are life-threatening and needed to be treated seriously.
it is helpful for your to keep a headache diary which keep tracks on the onset, duration, timing and progression of the headache. this helps the doctor greatly to establish a diagnosis. doctor may also need to know any associated symptoms such as fever, weight loss or history of cancer. this is important to rule out the secondary headaches. for a primary headache, the headache is normally predictable tiggers, stable pattern and individual is feeling fine in between headaches.

discuss your symptoms with an ear, nose and throat(ent) specialist for their expert advice. i am 26 years old and have the same problems, i have had all the testing, let me know what you hear.thanks! after 8 week u can go for scan Sometimes yes. But let your doctor know. A.Insomnia is no joke. Not getting sufficient [sleep](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/sleep/) at any age, but especially as a teen, is serious business. Sleep disorders can cause [depression](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/depression/), [anxiety](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/anxiety/), diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. According to a poll done in 2005 by Sleep in America, people who were diagnosed with depression or anxiety were more likely to sleep less than six hours at night. A study done in 2007 showed that people with insomnia are 5 times as likely to be depressed as those who got sufficient sleep. At your age “sufficient” means 8 – 9 hours a night.

I urge you to go back to your medical doctor for more tests. I’m alarmed that you were drinking enough but not staying hydrated. There’s more to that than sleep deprivation. I’m also alarmed that apparently you were given a “diagnosis” but not then given a treatment plan to regulate your sleep.

If your primary care physician isn’t able to help you, get a referral to a sleep medicine clinic for a sleep study. Such clinics do a thorough evaluation of how much sleep a person gets and how often and for how long the person is awake. You may be sent home with a monitor to wear. More likely, you will be asked to spend the night at the clinic where they will monitor you throughout the night. You will sleep in a comfortable room in a comfortable bed. You can usually even bring your own pajamas.

Don’t be scared. A sleep study isn’t painful. Doctors or technicians will monitor you while you sleep. Little disks called electrodes will be temporarily glued to your head and attached to an EEG (*electroencephalogram*) machine. This will monitor the electrical impulses in your brain while you sleep and will show the technician how you are moving through the stages of sleep. It will measure possible interruptions in the pattern of your sleep. The technicians will also measure things such as eye movements, oxygen levels in your blood, heart and breathing rates, who much you snore, and how your body moves as you sleep.

The data from your sleep study will be evaluated by your doctor. You will then have a follow up appointment with your doctor to discuss the results and what may need to be done to help you have more regular and restorative sleep.

Please share this response with your parents. I don’t think you are lying or faking. I think you have an untreated medical condition that left untreated will only make things worse.

I wish you well.

Dr. Marie

 

How Do I Get my Parents to Believe I’m Depressed? this may sound strange, but i have heard that it works, especially if you're still fairly young. tape your ears to your head at night. try not to use a tape that may cause irritation on your skin if you have sensitive skin. tape them every moment that you're not in public (when you're home). that sounds rough, i am sorry you aren't feeling well. my advice is just go to a different hospital to get a different view on your situation. please don't hold off on it, this problem really needs to be taken care of. i have been in your shoes & am sorry to say it hasn't gotten better but... what i will tell you is don't waste time. it sounds like you are ahead of the game at least unlike myself. go get that referral to see a neuro asap - no matter what it is believe me it's better to no because my bosy is still trying to fight the unknown. i too, had a total hysterectomy (11/04) except i was exposed to dirty elevator hydraulic fluid which was on the instruments used internally/externally on me during my surgery. since these surgery my body has fallen apart.i no it's a different situation but you sound just like me about work and how you don't have time to be sick. that's more the reason to get it all taken care of now. i never even had one headache until the hysterectomy, then came the infections all over, flu-like symptoms, joint pain, fatigue, tingling in the hands, burry vision, numbness  then came in 2007 (although they said it was missed on the 2005 mri) brain lesions. apparently i had a few in 2005 that they wrote off as being sinus & miragranes, but then they got a little bigger & spread to different areas. at first with the symptoms & brain lesions they were sure it was ms but the spinal tap & mri on my spine showed no lesions so they were unsure. i was treated with a week of iv steriods because the pain & symptoms were so severe though. depending on the weather my symptoms came & went. i finally began seeing doctors at unc only & at john hopkins in maryland. i was hospitalized for the first time in july due to seizures, which i have never had before. i am currently trying to get the right doctor, medicine, diagnosis for that. so ... this is so much more then u wanted to no but no-one seemed to be proving u with any feedback either so i think i would try.go do what you need to do, please! t Hello Aftonilman,



  

Thank you for the question.











Abnormal discharge from the ear, accompanied by ears such as stuffiness, dizziness, and pain are indeed typical of inflamed ears. Inflammation of the ear can occur only in the external ear (otitis externa), or it can also extend to the middle ear (otitis media). Depending on the location and severity of the inflammation, this condition can be treated differently, there is enough to be given medication, extracted earwax, or in more severe cases, surgery can also be done (for example if inflammation causes the eardrum to tear or the mastoid bone becomes infected) .



  

If your condition has previously been checked by a doctor, given medicine, but it does not improve, we recommend that you check yourself again to the doctor or ENT doctor. If the ENT doctor is on leave, the general practitioner is actually competent in handling ear problems as you experience them. Not only that, so that complaints get better faster, you also need to do the following steps:







Do not put anything in the ear, including water, cotton bud, wire  

Rest and drink more water  

Stay away from substances that might make you allergic  

Don't swim, dive or go to the highlands yet



Hope this helps ...
