Can you see at a glance if there is earwax?

When there is too much earwax, roll it into a cotton swab with absorbent cotton to gently clean out the earwax; You can also use an ear canal spoon to gently pull out the earwax.

Usually use a cotton swab dipped in 75% alcohol to clean the external ear canal frequently to reduce earwax.

If the earwax has formed a hard lump and it is difficult to remove it by yourself, you can go to the ENT outpatient department of the hospital to ask a doctor to pick it up.

The cerumen gland of the external auditory canal secretes a yellowish, viscous substance, commonly known as earwax, which is medically called cerumen. There is no scientific basis for earwax to become dumb after eating.

The Han people also have taboos about earwax (earwax). Thinking that one's earwax (commonly known as "deafness") should not be thrown around, it is not good for one's body to let others step on it. If you swallow your own earwax, you will become dumb or deaf.

In short, although earwax has left the self, it can still have a magical effect on the self, so avoid taboos.

What are earwax made of? In terms of physical properties, earwax wax is usually a pale yellow waxy dry flake substance, bitter in taste, insoluble in water, alcohol or ether; According to chemical analysis, earwax contains oil, stearin, fatty acids, proteins, and yellow pigment, as well as water, and a little chalk, potassium, sodium, and other elements.

Because earwax is rich in oil, it moisturizes the fine hairs on the ear canal**, which block dust particles blown in from the outside. Earwax and fine hairs also protect the ears from insects and other microorganisms. The insects that occasionally break in encounter dense fine hairs and are blocked in their way; The taste of earwax is bitter, and when the insect tastes the bitterness of earwax, it will "know the difficulty and retreat".

In addition, oil-rich earwax keeps the ear canal at a certain temperature and humidity, especially for the eardrum deep in the ear canal, so that the eardrum is always in optimal motion.

Fatty acid-rich earwax forms an acid film on the surface of the ear canal**, which puts the external ear canal in an acidic environment and has a mild bactericidal effect. It has been shown that the chemical components in earwax can inhibit the growth and reproduction of several types of bacteria.

Earwax and fine hairs can not only absorb dust and microorganisms entering the ear canal and keep the ear canal clean, but also make the ear canal cavity slightly narrower, filter and buffer the incoming sound waves, so that the eardrum will not be injured by strong sounds.

It can be seen that normal earwax is not a waste product, and it still has a certain contribution to the protection of hearing organs.

Probably due to lack of sleep the night before, I also experienced this.

It may be the sound of touching the eardrum, so if you feel uneasy, go to the hospital.

Of course, it acts like a boogia, preventing the ears from being too sensitive and fragile and vulnerable to external damage, and protecting the inner ear canal while also protecting the cochlea.

Earwax has existential significance. First, the ear canal can be cleaned, secondly, the eardrum can be protected from damage, and finally it can be sterilized.

Of course, earwax has the meaning of existence, it can prevent foreign bodies from flying into the ear and reduce the damage to the eardrum, so we usually don't often dig the ear piercing, which has a certain impact on the eardrum.

The earwax in our body actually has a sense of existence, it can prevent insects from entering our ear canal and prevent infection, so don't dislike it in particular.

1. Lubrication and moisturizing.

Due to the presence of lipids in the earwax, greasy earwax can also prevent itching and burning sensation caused by dryness in the ear canal, which has a very good effect on lubrication and protection of the ear canal.

2. Bacteriostatic and sterilization.

The fatty acids in earwax keep the external auditory canal in an acidic environment, and at the same time, earwax contains immunoglobulins and lysosomal bacteria, which can not only inhibit bacteria, but also have a good bactericidal effect.

3. Protect the eardrum.

Earwax can block foreign objects from entering the ear, such as water droplets, gravel, dust, and small bugs.

4. Protect hearing.

Earwax can also narrow the cavity of the ear canal, cushioning strong sound waves and making the eardrum less susceptible to vibration.

"Earwax", medically called ceruen, cerumen is generally light yellow, wax-like crumbs, but also oily or relatively hard, large pieces. So, how did Javenid come about? It turns out that there is a section of the ear and eye (L 3 cartilage segment outside the external auditory canal) that is different from the ** elsewhere in the body, that is, there is a variant of the sweat gland called the cerumen gland, and its structure is somewhat similar to the sweat gland.

The external auditory canal**, like the rest of the body**, has a sebaceous gland that secretes a type of oil. From a physiological point of view, these secretions in the cerumen gland are expelled from time to time through the opening. At first, the secretions that have just been spit out from the cerumen glands look a bit like melted wax, and they mix with the oil excreted by the sebaceous glands to form a thin layer attached to the surface of the **.

These primitive earwax are mixed with the dust in the ear canal and the debris that fall off, and after drying, they become a small piece of pale yellow loose flake cerumen and accumulate in the ear canal. Some people secrete a lot of cerumen glands and sebaceous glands, and the discharge is brownish-yellow, oily viscous substance, which has accumulated in the eyes of the outer tract before drying, and some even flow out of the ear, and some condense into a clump, which is collectively called soft earwax, commonly known as "oily ear", and is called oily cerumen in medicine. There are also some people who have particularly strong cerumen gland secretion; The earwax cannot be discharged again, and gradually dries and gathers into dark brown hard lumps, sometimes hard like stones, tightly blocked in the external ear canal, commonly known as hard earwax, medically called cerumen embolism.

If you find that there is cerumen embolism, especially after the ear canal is flooded, the cerumen swelling causes ear stuffiness, hearing loss or even ear pain, you should consult a specialist for treatment, and do not dig indiscriminately, so as not to cause ear canal inflammation.

What we ordinary people call earwax is a substance secreted by the dingding glands, which is called dingding.

Analysis:

Hello, earwax is a substance secreted by glands in the ear, which has the effect of protecting the ear, and will automatically come out if you don't dig yourself.

Guidance: You can't dig the ear wax often, it is easy to damage the ear canal, and the earwax will fall out when it is full, so you can clean it with a light digging with an ear spoon. I hope you find the above answers helpful.

Earwax is a substance secreted by the glands in the ear, which has the effect of protecting the ear, and it will come out automatically if you don't dig yourself. It is recommended not to dig the ear wax often, it is easy to damage the ear canal, if you feel that the ear is itchy, you can use a cotton swab to dig gently.
