Will earwax clog the ears? Be careful

I believe that everyone has removed earwax in daily life. Earwax is a secretion in the ear canal, and its main components are oil and dust. If earwax is not removed regularly, earwax will block people's ear canal and affect people's hearing. Let's take a look at how to remove earwax in daily life.

"Some people like to be clean and think that the ears are clean only when there is nothing in them. In fact, this is a misunderstanding." In fact, there is no need to clean the ears. A small amount of earwax can protect the ear canal. The environment inside the ear canal is slightly acidic. Taking out all the earwax will destroy the microenvironment of the ear canal. If cotton swabs and other ear cleaning tools are not strictly disinfected, fungal infection can easily occur.

If I don’t clean my ears, will earwax clog my ear canal? A healthy external auditory canal has its own self-cleaning function. Through the movement of the mandibular joint when chewing, earwax will continuously fall off and be discharged from the ear without blocking the ear canal at all.

Pulling the auricle when cleaning your ears, of course, does not mean you can't clean your ears. The otolaryngologist professor said that it is helpful to clean the ears properly after taking a bath or swimming to prevent water from entering the ears. For some people with excessive oil secretion, regular cleaning can also prevent ear canal blockage. However, when cleaning your ears, you must be sure to choose a cotton swab of appropriate thickness, and use a softer one, the thinner the better. In sufficient light, the auricle is pulled backward and upward to make the ear canal relatively vertical, making it easier to dig deep. If the earwax is too dry, you can also put some water on the cotton swab.

Going to the hospital to see a doctor is the most thorough way to remove earwax, but you have to go to a regular public hospital. If you go to a private hospital, you may be easily fooled. A condition that is actually not serious may be described as serious. Therefore, I suggest not going to a private hospital.
