Hi my name is Sonya. I was born hearing, but got bad ear infection at 2 years old. I got my first hearing aid at 4. I was in speech therapy until i think 1st grade. I was in normal public school. I do not sign and im good at lip reading. I speak normal. I am over half deaf. I'm hoping i sort of kinda fit in here.

My issue is...the inside of my ears, where my ear mold sits..i have really dry skin. Like, patchy almost. i can literally scrape away dry skin. I do have a bad addiction to qtips. My dr told me to stop wearing my hearing aids for two weeks. (Really?). I wipe down my molds and hearing aids with alcohol wipes every night. At this time i am trying to cut down the qtips. and i put thick lotion in my ears at night. If i am home alone i rarely wear my hearing aids...

Any one ever have this? how did you fix it? and how am i supposed to live without them for two weeks?
Thanks!!
 
First off, WELCOME!. In regard's to your problem, have you asked your DR or Audio for a cream? I cannot remember the name, but know there is a specific cream for this. And are you using a Dry and Store (or equivalent)?

Believe this problem was addressed by Botti not too long ago...I forgot the name of the cream...(since I don't wear HA's).....

I would cut back on the alcohol too as it dries the skin.....and q-tips in the ear is a big NO-NO...any ENT will tell you that.
