    Hello landlord. Many people will pick their ears as long as they have a little itch, and some people like to pick their ears when they are fine, in fact, these practices are not advisable, the ears are not suitable for frequent plucking, and often plucking ears is not only not conducive to ear health but also brings harm to the ears.

    A healthy external ear canal itself has a self-cleaning function, so there is no need to dig it out frequently. The scientific name of earwax is "ceruen", which is a yellowish viscous fluid secreted by the cerumen glands in the cartilage of the external auditory canal. Cerumen can block dirt entering the external ear canal from the outside world, adhere to dust and small insects, and protect the eardrum; At the same time, it covers the surface of the ear canal, which can maintain a certain humidity.

    Picking your ears can easily cause damage to your ear canal. If the method is not done properly, it will push the earwax deeper, block the ear canal, and affect hearing; If you use too much force when digging, you will damage the external auditory canal** or even the eardrum, and bacteria will take the opportunity to invade, and otitis externa will be formed; If the eardrum is perforated and bleeding is caused by the eardrum, it is very painful, and some people leave foreign objects such as cotton and match heads in the ear canal when picking their ears.

    In most cases, earwax will slowly move from the ear canal to the ear canal opening, dry in the air and form yellow flakes, through the movement of the jaw joint when chewing, it will continue to fall off and discharge out of the ear, there is no problem of blocking the ear canal, and it will not affect hearing due to the amount of earwax.

    The subcutaneous tissue of the external auditory canal is relatively small, and the cartilage structure is relatively tightly connected, and there are few blood vessels, so the blood circulation is poor.

    When picking the ears, some people like to use cotton swabs, and it is a very bad habit to pick the ears with cotton swabs, because the end of the cotton swab is relatively round and blunt, and when picking the ears, it is easy to push the cerumen in the ear to the part of the eardrum, which causes hearing to be affected.

    It is important not to pluck your ears too often, because sometimes we clean the outside and inside of the ear canal. Let's say we have other dust or water in our ear canals. Without these, it is impossible to keep these dust and water out, and we will face the inability to discharge them in time, which will definitely affect our ear canals, and even reduce and malfunction our hearing.

    Especially when we often pick our ears, we can't avoid touching or scratching the ears, which will cause a lot of damage, and it will affect the surrounding ear canals for a long time. There may be times when we have an itchy ear or something. This is what happens when there is otitis externa.

    Sometimes, when we use ear picking tools, we will accidentally touch the inside of the ear canal. This can cause damage to the inner ear canal, including the rupture of the eardrum. and other conditions of otitis media.

    Once you have otitis media and otitis externa, it is easy to have repeated attacks, and it is certain that hearing loss may occur in the long run. So I have a suggestion, I also understand that sometimes the ear has not been cleaned for a long time, it is indeed a little itchy or the area around the external auditory canal is not clean, at this time, you can enter the external auditory canal through a cotton swab to clean, and then enter the inner auditory canal to clean, in this process as gently as possible, and not many times, the less times the better. Usually, you can stretch out the time to pluck your ears, such as once a month, two months, or every three months.

    This is also beneficial for the hygiene of our ear canal. Finally, it is recommended to wash the ear picking tools frequently, also for the sake of ear health and hygiene.
