When it comes to picking ears, I believe many people don't understand. Actually, picking your ears is what we are talking about.

Ear-plucking actually means ear-plucking, which originated from the people. But unlike ear-plucking in peacetime, ear-plucking consists of many tools, about a dozen of which are provided by special personnel. Ear-plucking is an ancient craft, which generally requires professional training to take out a lot of garbage deep in the ear without hurting the ear.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, people began to dig their ears for a living, mainly because it can make people comfortable and promote sleep, so it was very popular with court adults at that time. Even in the Ming dynasty, there were articles written specifically for digging ears. "The witnesses are comfortable, alert and wise, and everything in the world seems ethereal. A spoon, a brush, a shovel, freely retractable, pushed, pinched and dusted, all gentle and sincere. Really a little comfortable. " It can be seen why ear digging was so sought after by the ancients, but ear digging was a commercial craft in ancient times.

Nowadays, Chengdu is the popular place to pluck ears, and basically you can see craftsmen who specialize in plucking ears for a living when you walk in the alleys of Chengdu. Of course, this kind of service has appeared in many cities, especially in the health care industry. Like some health stores, they all provide ear-plucking services, and even some places have special ear-plucking shops to meet the demand. Ear picking has gradually been endowed with the function of health preservation from the initial craft, and it has been sought after by people more and more.

Picking ears means picking ears. People who pick their ears should sit or lie comfortably. Tilt your head to one side and get plenty of light. Performers should wear reflective forehead glasses and place ear amplifiers in the external auditory canal of patients. If the ear knot is too big, the ear can soften and stare for a few minutes. Take a picture of a large piece of earwax with a sterilized camera. If earwax adheres to the ear canal, scrape the ear canal with a sterilized screwdriver. Scrape off a small piece of earwax with a sterilized ear swab. Blow off fine dust with a rubber airbag and clean the ear canal with a hairbrush. After cleaning the ear canal amplifier, perform ear * * *. When operating, the technique should be particularly gentle to avoid scratching and causing pain and discomfort. If there is inflammatory exudate in the ear, it is forbidden to pull out the ear.

The ear is divided into three parts: outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. The external ear includes auricle and ear canal. The surface anatomy of auricle has been introduced to you in auricular point therapy. You must know the anatomical knowledge of external auditory canal before cutting your ear. The main purpose of ear removal is to clean up the earwax. The main component of earwax is hearing, as well as the condensation of sebum, sweat, dust, debris and inflammatory secretions. Regular cleaning of earwax is of great significance to protect the ear canal and improve the hearing function of the ear.

What does spa mean by ear-picking?

Just picking your ears.

Picking your ears, as the name implies, is picking your ears. Ear plucking, originated from the folk, is a simple tool, usually based on local materials. Bamboo sticks and thin sticks are simple ear plucking tools.

Ear pulling originated from hairdressers, who invented professional ear pulling tools and professional operation methods. Extended data:

Picking out ears is a habit of many people in life. The numbness coming from the ear canal makes people feel very comfortable. In the past, old hairdressers were very good at removing earwax.

However, in the eyes of otologists, such a small move as ear-plucking hides great risks. If it is not particularly necessary, it is best not to dig casually. Most people pick out their ears to clean up the wax. Wang Wuqing, chief physician of the Otolaryngology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, pointed out that earwax is medically called stare, which is the secretion of cerumen gland of external auditory canal.

Theoretically speaking, people don't have to pull out their ears, because the earwax in the external auditory canal can be discharged in the form of thin slices through mandibular movements such as chewing and opening their mouths. Moreover, earwax is not useless waste, it has a certain protective effect on the skin of external auditory canal, which can prevent the infection of harmful bacteria such as mold and stick to the dust entering the ear canal, and the special smell of earwax can also prevent insects from approaching.

There are also many people who cut their ears because the external auditory canal itches, or simply to enjoy the pleasure of cutting their ears. No matter what the purpose, it is easy to cause ear canal injury by digging tools into the ear canal.

Wang Wuqing explained that the skin of the ear canal is delicate. If the ear is pulled out improperly, it is most likely to cause external auditory canal injury and infection, causing earache, and in severe cases, hearing loss. Frequent ear plucking will also swell the cuticle of the external auditory canal skin, block the hair follicles, but promote the growth of bacteria, leading to itchy ears and yellow water, which will make the external auditory canal skin chronically congested for a long time, easily secrete cerumen glands, and the earwax will be more.

In addition, because the ear canal is deep, the tool will touch the eardrum if it is not properly controlled after it goes deep into the ear canal. Tympanic membrane is a very thin membrane with a thickness of only 0.1mm.

Once the eardrum is punctured, people will lose their hearing. Sun Jianjun, director of the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Navy General Hospital, said that ear removal is really necessary only when some people have too much earwax, which leads to earwax embolism and blockage of the ear canal.

But it's best to go to the hospital and ask an otologist to help clean the ear canal. With the help of otoscope, the doctor will use glycerin to soften the earwax and clean it without hurting the ear canal.
