First of all, it is false to say that "if you eat earwax, you will become dumb"! There is no scientific justification.
Secondly, is it better to dig out earwax or not? This is a case-by-case analysis. Generally speaking, earwax (scientific name ceruen) accumulates to a certain extent and falls off on its own and out of the ear canal.
In this case, you don't have to dig it yourself. Because it is very blind to dig it yourself, it is easy to damage the external auditory canal**, and the external auditory canal** is very thin and delicate, so if you don't get it right, it will lead to infection of the external auditory canal**. Therefore, it is not advisable to pluck your ears frequently.
However, some people, the cerumen gland secretion of the external auditory canal is very vigorous, and it will form a lump of cerumen in a few days, and after a long time, it will form a black and hard cerumen like tempeh, blocking the external auditory canal, when taking a bath and washing hair, after accidentally entering the water, it is easy to soak the cerumen and swell and form a cerumen embolism, and even complicate inflammation of the external auditory canal, granulation, etc., which not only affects hearing but also causes severe pain. In this case, it must be removed for the inflammation to be relieved. Cerumen like this is generally not something that can be taken out by oneself and can only be solved by a specialist.

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.

The earwax in the eyes of the human ear is commonly known as "earwax", which is called cerumen in medicine, and the cerumen is generally light yellow, wax-like crumbs, and there are also oily or relatively hard and 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.

1.For smaller or flaky ones, you can remove them with tweezers.
2.Cerumen hook removal method.
3.External auditory canal irrigation. Before rinsing, cerumen should be expanded, ear drops with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution, and after 3 or 4 days, it should be fully or partially expanded, and then rinsed.
4.Aspiration.
5.Co-infected patients should control the infection first, and then remove the cerumen after the infection is controlled.
6.Currently, departments with otoendoscopy can aspirate cerumen through the otoendoscope under a monitor.
-
1.It is best to use a cotton swab and gently rotate it in the external ear canal and then the ear is facing down, so that the cerumen can come out on its own.
-
Don't dig too much or too hard, and if you can't handle it, go to the hospital to deal with it.
-
If you can't handle it yourself, go to the ENT department to deal with it.

Earwax generally does not need to be artificially removed, mainly determined by the physiological characteristics of the ear canal, the epithelium of the external ear canal has the physiological function of self-cleaning, and the ear wax and desquamation in the ear canal will be discharged from the body with the swing of the ear hair.
When the earwax secretion is relatively viscous and not easy to be discharged from the body by self-cleaning, you can use a cotton swab to gently wipe the ear canal opening, and the cotton swab does not need to go deep into the ear canal, because the cerumen gland that secretes earwax only exists outside the ear canal, that is, the cartilage of the ear canal, so it is easy to clean. When earwax accumulates in the ear canal and cannot be drained cleanly, causing blockage, it cannot be treated blindly, and it is very easy to damage the external ear canal** and cause infection. Special tools are required to remove the buildup in the ear canal under the supervision of a doctor.
-
Under normal circumstances, the ears do not need to be cleaned regularly, everyone has cerumen glands in their ears, and the cerumen glands will secrete earwax, which is a normal secretion, which has a certain protective effect on the external ear canal and eardrum, and can block insects, water, dust and other foreign bodies from entering the ear canal. If it is repeated ear picking, it may destroy the normal function of the ear, damage the external ear canal** and cause infection, resulting in otitis externa, boils and eczema of the external ear canal, so do not deliberately pick the ear. When the ears are uncomfortable, you can use a cotton swab to gently turn around, and for the harder and deeper earwax, you need to go to the hospital to clean up.
-
Earwax, medically known as cerumen. Most normal people are yellowish flakes, and they do not need to be deliberately cleaned up, and they will be eliminated through the external auditory canal. But there are also a small number of people, especially children and the elderly, who, for various reasons, can collect in the external auditory canal and form tan cerumen emboli that block the external auditory canal.
At this point, you need to clean them up with the help of a doctor. Some patients can remove them directly with tools such as rigid ear endoscopes. In a small number of patients, cerumen emboli are too hard or bulky, and ear drops with 5% sodium bicarbonate (commonly known as cerumen water) need to be soaked in an ear bath and allowed to soften before being cleaned.
-
Earwax should be cleaned up, which will make people feel more refreshed, and if you love to be clean, it is not easy to get diseases, but be careful not to use metal tools to clean up to avoid hurting the eardrum.
-
Normally, our ears will clean and remove themselves. We don't need to clean it up. Earwax in the ear can clean the ear canal and protect the eardrum and eardrum.
It is best not to clean the earwax from the ears too often. In order to avoid causing damage to the ** in the ears and causing bacterial infection.
-
The external auditory canal of a normal person has cerumen glands, which can secrete cerurumen, also called earwax.
A small amount of cerumen does not need to be cleaned, a small amount of cerumen has a protective effect on the ear canal, but if there are more cerumen and clumps, it may block the ear canal and cause conductive hearing loss, so it needs to be cleaned. In addition, some patients will have oily cerumen secretion in the external auditory canal due to hereditary factors, so cerumen is best to take a bath every time, or regularly clean up the oily secretions in the ear canal with a cotton swab, otherwise oily cerumen will block the ear canal, cause inflammation of the outer ear, or cause conductive hearing loss.
-
Under normal circumstances, earwax will be discharged naturally and does not need to be cleaned, but if too much earwax affects hearing and the ear is itchy and painful, then earwax needs to be cleaned. It is recommended to use a solvent to soften the earwax in the ear before you can start the cleanup.
-
A small amount of earwax does not need to be cleaned, and it can also play a role in protecting the ear lining if there is not much earwax, if the ear canal really has too much earwax, you still need to pick earwax.
-
Generally, it is not necessary, earwax has the effect of protecting the eardrum of the ear canal and cushioning. Moreover, if there is too much earwax, it will fall off on its own with the movement of the person. Unless it affects hearing, you can clean it up by yourself or go to the hospital for examination and cleaning, and generally do not need to clean it.
-
I think I still need to clean the earwax in my ears, because it is clean, and I can hear the sound more clearly. And there will be no itching sensation.
-
The earwax in the ear does not need to be cleaned as often, and it also has the effect of preventing external dust from entering the headphones.
-
1. Earwax has a special smell, which can prevent small animals such as small flying insects from entering the ear;
2. Earwax can protect the external auditory canal and adhere to foreign objects, such as hair, dust, water, etc. Under normal circumstances, earwax can be excreted by chewing and talking without treatment.
-
A small amount of earwax does not need to be cleaned, it has a protective effect on the ear canal, if there are more, clumps, it may block the ear canal, then it needs to be cleaned.
-
It varies from person to person, I have hardly ever picked out my ears since I was a child, because the old man said that it is easy to be deaf, although I didn't pick my ears, but I have earwax, which usually falls out on its own.
-
Should the earwax be cleaned from the ear? Personally, I don't think that earwax needs to be cleaned frequently, and if you clean it too often, it may cause some damage to your ears.
-
There is no need to clean it very clean, so as not to hurt your ears.
-
Proper cleaning, if done too much, can also cause otitis externa. ,
There is a cerumen gland on the surface of the cartilage on the outside of the external auditory canal, which secretes a yellow and thick mucus, which forms yellow and thin chips after drying in the air, like snowflakes, called "ceruen", commonly known as "earwax". In a small number of people, cerumen does not dry up and becomes liquid, which is generally called oily ear or soup ear, and should not be regarded as a disease. >>>More
There's nothing to do, many people are like this, I'm like this, earwax is not dry, often with muddy water, and it's particularly difficult to dig, on the periphery, or wipe it with a wet towel, buckle it, inside, it's hard to get rid of, it's especially difficult to get rid of, don't care, it's like this from childhood to adulthood, basically it can't be cured, this is called oily ears, basically 80% of oily ears will be accompanied by fox odor, fox odor and oily ears are basically twins, and they will definitely appear together, If you're a woman, this may be rare, but it usually does.
