How to protect your ears

Don't wear headphones for too long

Nowadays, there is a very common phenomenon, especially for many young people, whether they are walking, waiting for a car, riding in a car, or eating, they always have a mobile phone in their hands and earphones in their ears. In fact, if you wear music headphones for a long time, you will always feel a faint pain in your ears. This is the warning that your ears are giving you!

 

Therefore, those who love to use headphones, try to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, take a break for about an hour to let the ears breathe. In addition, firecrackers, some noisy noises, shouting to the ears, etc. will cause damage to the ears. The louder the sound and the longer the contact time, the greater the impact on our hearing.

 

 

Try to dig your ears as little as possible

If we often use headphones to listen to songs or other things, the ears are more likely to produce more earwax, and occasionally accompanied by itching, always want to go to the ears, sometimes accidentally hurt the ears, more likely to dig Injure the ear canal or even damage the eardrum.

 

In fact, earwax is a mixture of dead skin with ear oil secretion. Generally, it does not need to be cleaned up and will be discharged by itself. Pushing it back will cause ear canal occlusion. At the same time, ear oil has a bactericidal effect, and earwax is like a small line of defense to prevent the invasion of dust. So don’t pick your ears. If there is indeed a lot of earwax, which blocks the ear canal and affects your hearing, you should go to the hospital to find a doctor for help.

 

 

Treat ear water in time

When taking a bath, washing hair, or swimming, we should pay attention to the waterproof of the ears. When water enters the ears accidentally, especially when the water is not clean, we must pay attention to clean it in time, otherwise it will be easy to get inflammation. . If water gets in the shampoo and bath, just suck it up with a cotton swab.

 

 

Maintain a good mental state

Being in a state of impatience and irritation for a long time will cause the autonomic nerves in the body to lose their normal regulatory functions, causing ischemia, edema and hearing impairment in the inner ear. Improper medication can affect hearing, especially some ototoxic drugs, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics.
