How to remove earwax deep inside the ear

In life, when we walk in the streets and alleys, we often see many men, young and old, sitting together and chatting, often using ear picks, cotton swabs or matchsticks to clean their ears. In fact, most of the time they are not cleaning out earwax, but they feel that cleaning their ears is particularly comfortable. Earwax deep in the ear is also difficult to dig out. The following is a detailed introduction on how to clean out earwax deep in the ear.

It turns out that the skin of our external auditory canal is relatively thin, closely connected to the perichondrium, has less subcutaneous tissue, and poor blood circulation. Earwax, medically known as earwax, is the secretion of the cerumen glands in the external auditory canal. It has a certain protective effect on the skin of the external auditory canal, but too much earwax will block the external auditory canal and affect hearing. Sometimes it will also irritate the external auditory canal and cause itching. Therefore, if there is too much earwax, you should take it out. However, if you use improper force when cleaning your ears, it is most likely to cause damage to the external auditory canal, infection and boils, causing ear pain, and in severe cases, hearing loss. Frequent ear cleaning can also cause the stratum corneum of the skin in the external auditory canal to swell, blocking hair follicles, which is conducive to bacterial growth and causes itching in the ear canal and yellow discharge. Long-term chronic congestion of the skin of the external auditory canal can easily stimulate the secretion of cerumen glands.

The eardrum is a thin membrane about 0.1 mm thick. If you use sharp tools to clean your ears, you may accidentally puncture or even perforate the eardrum, which may cause deafness in severe cases.

If there is too much earwax, the correct way to deal with it is to use a cotton swab rolled up with absorbent cotton to gently clean out the earwax. If there is too much earwax and it is difficult to remove, you can go to the hospital and ask a doctor to treat it.
