Many people enjoy having clean ears, and the process of cleaning their ears can be very enjoyable. But have you ever wondered if this should be done at all? As it turned out, there is absolutely no need for this procedure.

If you think your ears are producing too much wax, or you think you have wax plug, then you need professional ear cleaning.

Do you use chopsticks ?

Check out the recommendations of specialists, which they simply must convey to everyone:

STOP USING THE STICK IMMEDIATELY!

We are serious about this. This is a very bad idea. Inserting a stick into the ear canal can push earwax and other debris deeper into the eardrum, which can further impair sound perception.

IN ADDITION TO THIS, WE HAVE MORE THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN YOU.

Earwax forms in the ear canal and travels naturally to the exit from the ear. But if you clean your ears with chopsticks, then there is a risk of pushing the wax deeper into the area of ​​the ear in which it should not be.

In this case, the sulfur with all the debris and microbes will be transferred to the area of ​​the ear canal, in which the skin is very thin and delicate. Although cotton swabs look soft, they can actually injure the delicate skin deep in the ear canal.

In addition, if the sticks are used carelessly, there is a risk of damaging the eardrum.

Okay, so how do I get the earwax out ?

You don’t need to take any action. Your ears will remove the wax from the ear canal on their own. The main task of earwax is to capture and remove all foreign matter from the ear canal. This conveyor-like process is fundamental to maintaining hygiene inside the ears.

• The skin inside the ear is renewed towards the exit from the ear canal. Thus, it removes sulfur, skin particles and everything else stuck in the sulfur from the ear.

• Chewing and yawning helps flush wax out of the ear canal

• As a rule, our ears give off as much sulfur as they need to maintain internal cleanliness.

Is it possible to remove the sulfur even a little bit with chopsticks ?

Inserting something into the ear to cleanse the ear may push the wax deeper into the ear canal. Sulfur is secreted at a certain point of the passage equal to one third of the total length and is located near the entrance to the ear. Pushing wax deeper than this area is very dangerous because it can no longer be removed from the ear in a natural way.

• You run the risk of pushing the wax through the “natural conveyor” that is required to effectively remove wax from the ear

• Ear sticks can damage the delicate skin inside the ear, increasing the risk of infection in the wound.

• Pushing the wax deeper into the ear canal can cause blockage and temporary hearing loss. Inaccurate use of sticks can cause injury to the eardrum

I want to have clean ears free of earwax!

It is worth noting that earwax is essential. Our ear produces sulfur and this is one of its main functions. This process is absolutely normal and everyone needs it. Earwax is needed for several things at once:

• Earwax is a kind of sticky barrier that prevents germs, fungi, dirt and other things from getting deep into the ear canal to the eardrum

• Sulfur traps hairs, dead skin, dust, and more, and then pulls them out of the ear

• Earwax is acidic *, which helps protect us from fungi and bacteria that cause infection

• Sulfur softens the skin to avoid itching and tickling

That’s right, we need sulfur. But what if there is too much of it ?

Sometimes our ears produce too much sulfur:

• Hearing aid wearers and in-ear music lovers may experience increased wax emissions caused by the ear canal blockage, which interferes with the natural removal of wax from the ear

• Some people produce more sulfur than others – this may be due to genetics *

• If the skin in the ear has been irritated with cotton swabs, the wax will be released profusely for some time to restore the necessary amount of wax in the ear.
