CELEBRITY HEALTH – Kaye Adams has revealed she rushed herself to hospital after being convinced she had a tumour.
The Loose Women star, 61, filled in fans on her ‘traumatic’ health scare in an Instagram post on Sunday as she admitted she was left fearing the worst after losing all hearing in her ear.
She revealed that she was left ‘absolutely terrified’ after putting in her earpiece for Friday’s panel show and not being able to hear anything, recalling: ‘I thought, ”Oh my god, what has gone wrong?”‘
While she managed to get through the show, she was ‘panicking’ throughout and after looking up her systems online she headed to her local A&E.
She praised the nurses at hospital for helping to calm her down and who sent her for an audiogram at a nearby Boots hearing centre, where the cause of her hearing loss proved to be incredibly simple.
Her Confession
Kaye confessed: ‘I am embarrassed to say this because, honestly, my head was going to some terrible terrible tumour, I am very melodramatic.
‘[Audiologist] Paula pulled out the biggest bit of wax you have ever seen.’
The removal of the wax helped restore Kaye’s hearing in full.
Her Most Traumatic 2 Days Ever
Kaye captioned her post: ‘I’ve had the most traumatic 48 hours. Here’s where happened…
‘And a big thank you to @bootsuk and @nhsggc – Anita and Paula you were truly incredible with this melodramatic 61 year old woman!’
For most people, wax moves out of the ear naturally over time, however 2.3 million people a year in require their ear wax to be removed by a professional.
If left untreated, ear wax build-up can lead to temporary hearing loss, tinnitus, earache, a greater risk of infections or dizziness.
