The right ear is blocked and the hearing is reduced

Good living habits are very important for a person. Nowadays, many young people wear headphones to play with their mobile phones, listen to music, play games, etc. These bad living habits can easily affect the hearing of the ears if they continue for a long time. Some people usually have stuffy ears and hearing loss. What is going on?

What is the reason for the right ear to be blocked and hearing loss?

Common causes of ear stuffiness include deep earwax obstruction in the external auditory canal, sensorineural hearing loss, secretory otitis media, and Eustachian tube dysfunction. It is best to go to the ENT department of a hospital to check the condition of the external auditory canal, rule out external auditory canal lesions, and then consider audiometry and Eustachian tube pressure measurement to confirm the diagnosis and treat the cause.

What acupoints should be pressed for blocked ears?

1. First, use your index finger and thumb to gently massage the Tinghui point (located in the front and lower part of the auricle, flush with the small notch, the concave area when the mouth is open) for about 5 minutes, about 350 to 400 times.

2. Beat the Heavenly Drum 50 times. Rub your palms together to warm them up, cover your ears with the palms, and press your ten fingers on the back of your head. Then put your index finger on top of your middle finger and tap the area below the occipital bone so that you can hear a drum-like sound in your ear.

3. Cover your ears with the palms of your hands that have been rubbed warm, completely closing your palms and ears. Then suddenly release your palms. Repeat this 30 times.

4. Then use your index finger and thumb to press and pinch the auricle from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top. Repeat this process until both ears feel warm. Press and pinch the auricle 100 times in total.

5. Massage Hegu point (extend your arms, put your palms down, put your thumb and index finger together, and find the point at the highest point of the muscle) 80 times.

Patients who use acupoint massage to treat tinnitus can massage once in the morning and once in the evening every day. In addition, if you can massage in time when tinnitus occurs, the effect will be more obvious. If the patient can persist in this way for a long time, the tinnitus phenomenon will definitely be significantly improved.

What to do if your ears are blocked

1. Stuffy ears may be caused by Eustachian tube inflammation. Once inflammation occurs in the body, it will cause a variety of diseases. Generally speaking, if there is inflammation, the first thing to do is to reduce inflammation and fight inflammation. However, you must be cautious in choosing anti-inflammatory drugs. It is best to take the medicine according to the doctor's prescription, so that you can prescribe the right medicine and cure the disease.

2. In addition to medication, you should also pay attention to diet control, especially avoid eating spicy food, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.

3. It is taboo for the ears to get stuffy and water to enter the ears, so during the treatment period, you cannot swim, and you cannot let water flow into the ears when washing your face or taking a bath.

4. Avoid listening to any noise or sound that irritates the ears, as this will make the ears more uncomfortable.

5. If the condition is serious, you must not be irritable. Being irritable and upset will only make the condition worse. During the treatment, taking more walks and listening to the sounds of nature can effectively alleviate the condition.

6. During the treatment period, it is best not to clean the ears. If the ears feel itchy, just gently clean them with a cotton ball. Do not use force and do not clean your ears in public. If others accidentally touch them, it will cause unnecessary damage to the ears.

7. In addition to ear congestion caused by inflammation and getting angry, there is another external factor, which is foreign matter entering the ear. In this case, you must go to the hospital for treatment. If you handle it yourself, it is easy to damage the eardrum.
