Ears have self-cleaning function and generally do not need special cleaning. Moreover, earwax generally only appears in the external auditory canal, and cleaning with a cotton swab will only push the earwax deeper and cause obstruction. So don't pick your ears often. When the earwax is obvious, you can use a cotton swab to clean the overflow earwax and around the ear hole, and don't insert it into the ear canal. When there is a lot of earwax, you can use this professional equipment to drip liquid into the ear canal for cleaning. If you are worried about the inconvenience of operation, you can go to the hospital for cleaning.

Precautions:

Ear care: use or disable drugs harmful to auditory nerve with caution. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are ototoxic drugs that have the greatest damage to cochlea, so avoiding abusing these antibiotics is an important measure to reduce drug-induced deafness. Those who have a family history of ototoxic drug allergy should be more cautious in using such drugs.

Don't dig your ears. If the ear is pulled out improperly, it is easy to cause injury and infection of the external auditory canal, leading to swelling, inflammation and ulceration of the external auditory canal. If you are not careful when pulling out your ears, pulling out your ear spoon will also hurt the eardrum or ossicles, causing perforation of the eardrum and affecting your hearing.
