    De-waxing of eardrums?

    [QUOTE=tundramanq;1330492]I have avoided dry cleaning since I was a kid and some good family friends ran a mom and pop dry cleaning business in the 60s.
    They were both going deaf in their 40's. The doctor told them why and they added some good exhaust fans for the hanger rack room.
    The vapors were de-waxing their ears and scarring their ear drums. I


    As a research audiologist with >43 years of experience, I would be remiss if I did not state that for a number of reasons, this could not be so. Were a vapor to be so strong as to actually do this, the poor person would have far, far bigger concerns. I might also add that "de-waxing" would not cause hearing loss. All this said, I have GREATLY appreciated the information you posted as well as the other info in this thread.
