Hygiene of Ear

The ear is made up of the outer, middle and inner ear. The hygiene of ear is only considered with the outer ear as the ear canal is cleaned through the wax that is produced by the glands. The wax not only cleans the ear but protects it from dust that can affect the hearing of a person. The hygiene of the car can be taken caring of by cleaning the outer ear and behind the ear. Using cotton buds can damage the canal as they push the wax towards the canal and cause blockages and other ear infections. Removing excess earwax is a careful process and one should protect their eardrums will removing it. Use warm water into the ear to allow the wax to dissolve. That will make it easier to remove the wax from the ear. If you have regular excess of wax immerging from the ear, then allow a doctor to take care of the problem.
