Many people use cotton swabs to clean their ears every time they take a shower or feel uncomfortable in their ears. However, many domestic and foreign experts have repeatedly reminded us that it is not necessary to use cotton swabs to clean the ears, and it may cause damage to the ears!
A few days ago, there was related news that a Chinese woman often used cotton swabs to clean her ears, and as a result, the secretions in the ear canal were pushed to the eardrum. It took a two-hour operation to successfully remove the unknown hard object in the ear canal!
In fact, many doctors have been reminding everyone not to use cotton swabs to clean ears. In fact, it is best not to use other objects to dig ears except cotton swabs. This can push the earwax deep into the ear, causing hearing loss and even damaging the eardrum.
In addition, many people always feel that there is a lot of earwax in the ear that needs to be cleaned, but in fact, earwax is a substance secreted by the ear, which can sterilize and protect the ear canal.
The ears are self-cleaning, and many people don’t need special cleaning for a lifetime. Because earwax is naturally expelled over time. Earwax generally only appears in the external ear canal. But because people always clean with cotton swabs, it pushes the earwax deep into the ear, causing a blockage and causing more problems.
