Ear health recommendations

Another way you can take care of your ears from the outside is to avoid listening to loud music for long periods of time. Although it does not seem important, more and more young people are suffering from hearing problems because of this habit. What is the ceremony? Many people have the impression that ear hygiene only involves removing the wax. After all, this substance is sticky, unpleasant and unhygienic. However, this conception is wrong. The cerumen has the role of protecting the skin inside the ears against infections. Therefore, do not look at the ceremonial as something harmful, which must necessarily be removed. It provides the eardrum with protection against the outside world, stopping the access of dust, foreign objects and residues to the interior.

Currently Emma’s microsuction ear wax removal clinic’s are at Fairfield Park Health Centre, 47 Tyning Ln, Bath, BA1 6EA. Emma does clinics on a Friday, and sometimes other days in the week, please call to check when there is availability. Microsuction is safer, cleaner and requires less preparation than syringing. It is far safer than syringing because no water is being forced into the ear. The clinician uses high magnification to see the minute detail of your ear and clear it.

Why your ears eat: This is usually a sign of eczema or psoriasis. Your doctor should prescribe an ointment that will make you feel better. How to treat an ear infection: There are two types of infections and both need the attention of a doctor. Infections of the outer ear most often occur after exposure to dirty water. It swells and hurts, being blocked by pus. It is treated by suction of pus and antibiotic.

It is a misconception that the ears should be washed daily. The cerumen has a protective role for the auditory canal and must be allowed to perform its function. You can wash the outer surface of the ear canal with warm water once, twice a week, and then wipe thoroughly. You can use the corner of a handkerchief or a clean towel, soaked in warm water, to rotate around the ear flag. Source: https://www.bathearcare.co.uk/.
