there's an old joke about this:
man goes to doctor saying "I keep farting, doc; my farts aren't smelly and luckily they are also silent but I am worried because I fart all day long. Even now, as I was talking to you, I kept farting the whole time".
"I see", says the doctor. "I will prescribe you this pill, to be taken twice a day for a week".
"And will that help with the farting?"
"No, but it should help you with your sense of smell. Then come to see me after one week and we'll try to fix your hearing"
