People who like to pick out their ears should correctly understand the role of earwax. Earwax is actually not dirty. It is a substance secreted by the ear, which can play a role in sterilization and protection of the ear canal. All cleaning will be harmful to the ears.
5. Pay attention to protect your ears
First, avoid water in your ears. When swimming, bathing and washing your hair, be careful not to let water into your ears, which may easily lead to ear inflammation. If you accidentally enter the water, you should put your ears down and empty the water hard. Then gently wipe it with a paper towel or cotton swab, especially for children. Parents should pay special attention to protect their ears when washing their hair to avoid water.
Second, cover your ears when there is noise. Cover your ears when there is a lot of noise around, such as airplanes taking off and setting off firecrackers, so as not to affect your eardrums. Although many people don't take things seriously, it will still do some harm to their ears after a long time.
Third, don't pick your ears often. It is a bad habit to pick out your ears too often. If you are not careful, you will hurt the ear canal and even the eardrum. Many people feel comfortable pulling out their ears, but pay attention to the frequency, use cotton swabs, and don't use anything too sharp.
Fourth, if there is inflammation such as fever, you should take anti-inflammatory drugs in time. Many people don't take colds and fever seriously, and they don't take anti-inflammatory drugs on time when they are sick, so if the body's resistance is low, it will induce otitis media, which is not good for the ears. Pay special attention.
5. Don't wear headphones for a long time. Nowadays, more and more people like to walk and listen to music with headphones at work, which is bad for their ears after a long time. In particular, high-volume audio sounds will cause fatigue and damage to the hearing organs, leading to hearing loss and even deafness.
Six, eat less high-fat food. If you often eat high-fat food, the concentration of cholesterol in the blood is too high, which will cause atherosclerosis in the blood vessel wall, reduce the blood supply to the ears, cause malnutrition in the hearing organs, and lead to hearing loss or deafness. Usually we should eat less animal meat and more fruits and vegetables.
Seven, check your ears regularly. If you feel uncomfortable with your ears, you should go to a professional doctor for examination regularly, and you should not blindly handle it yourself. Especially for the elderly and children, the incidence of cochlear dysfunction in the elderly with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is high, so it should be treated in time to prevent circulatory disorder and delay the hearing loss.
