Most of us believe that using ear buds is an important part of ear hygiene. We couldn't have been more wrong. Our ears only get harmed with ear buds. The buds not only hurt the skin in the ear canal, they might also cause further trouble by pushing the ear wax in our ear further inside the canal and ultimately get them impacted. It is tougher to remove an impacted ear wax as it causes more pain and the patient also suffers from ear block. Here is an article to provide you with tips (not Q-tips) to help you maintain ear hygiene.
Clean your ears regularly
Protect your ears from loud noise
Avoid putting foreign objects in your ears
Get your ears and hearing checked regularly
Avoid self-medication
If you experience hearing loss or any other ear problems, consult an ENT surgeon as soon as possible.
