Disadvantages of picking ears: Some people have itchy ears and often use hairpins, matchsticks, ear pickers, etc. to pick their ears, but in fact, there are many harms in doing so. There is a cerumen gland on the surface of the cartilage on the outside of the human auditory canal, which can secrete a yellowish viscous substance, called cerurumen, commonly known as "earwax" or "ear cicada", which guards the door of the external auditory canal like a "sentinel".

Some of this substance is flaked when dried in the air, and some are like viscous grease. It is usually "hidden" in the external auditory canal, which has the effect of protecting the external auditory canal** and adhering to foreign substances (such as dust, small flying insects, etc.). The external auditory canal is more delicate, connected with the perichondrium closely, with less subcutaneous tissue, poor blood circulation, and if you use improper force when picking your ears, it is easy to cause damage and infection of the external auditory canal, resulting in boils, inflammation, ulceration of the external auditory canal, and even unbearable ear pain, affecting mouth opening and chewing.

The way to clean the periphery of the ear is to use a cotton swab or use a towel, wet wipes, etc. 1. Cotton swab: Cotton swab is a substance made of cotton, which can be applied to the cleaning of any dirt outside the ear and inside the ear.

Patients can use a cotton swab dipped in water to remove dirt or dust from the periphery of the ear. 2. Towel: You can use a towel dipped in warm water, and then wipe the excrement around the ear to remove it.

3. Wet wipes: Patients can use wet wipes to wipe and remove the dirt on the periphery of the ear. Because it has an alcohol component on it, it can play a role in sterilization and disinfection.

Cleaning the ears in life is nothing more than the outside of the ears and the inside of the ears, the outside of the ears is still relatively easy to clean, you can use a cotton swab dipped in some water to clean up, but the inside of the ears is a little troublesome, because there are often earwax, earwax is actually a yellow viscous liquid secreted in the human ear canal, and then it becomes solid and then it is what we know. Earwax can be cleaned up with an ear picker, or it can be done with the help of outsiders, but it is best to dig the earwax yourself, you have a feeling, the strength is not too big, outsiders can directly see the effect, and the ear picker can remove the earwax in the inner canal, so you must pay attention to the strength of cleaning the inner ear, don't use too much force. Cleaning up earwax can be solved by digging the ear spoon, and after cleaning, it should be disinfected with cotton swab alcohol.

Avoid infection. Daily protection of the ear: stay away from noise, noise can damage the inner ear, detect it early and**; Quit smoking and drinking, no ototoxic drugs, etc.; Maintain optimism: When a person is emotional, the secretion of adrenaline increases, causing the arteriole blood vessels of the inner ear to spasm, and the blood flow in the small blood vessels is slow, resulting in blood flow disorders, and the lack of oxygen supply to the inner ear is prone to sudden deafness.

Adjust the diet structure: Eat more foods rich in zinc, iron and calcium, which can effectively dilate the microvasculature, thereby promoting the blood flow in the inner ear** and preventing hearing loss. Avoid noise exposure:

Prolonged exposure of the ear to noise can lead to noisy hearing loss, so you should stay away from noise. Don't pick your ears casually: the external auditory canal ** is more delicate, has a relatively close connection with the perichondrium, has less subcutaneous tissue, and has poor blood circulation.
