Question of the Month
Jane from Long Island, NY, asks:
Sometimes, without reason, my ear starts to ache. I have to remove my hearing aids for about 4-6 hours, and then it's ok. Why does this happen?

Sometimes an in-the-ear hearing aid rests on a bony part of the ear, which is quite uncomfortable but easily corrected. I would suggest that you ask your hearing specialist to make an adjustment to the hearing aid. If that does not solve the problem, a new impression will be needed to remake the hearing aid.
