Dig your ear with paper, and you can't hear. Why?
Pay more attention at ordinary times, don't scratch your ears!

Also, if your ears itch in the middle of the night, it may be because of dryness. You should reduce the number of baths instead of washing them every day. If you are a northerner, lack of oxygen in your ears at midnight may be a precursor to frostbite. Keep warm! Always remember to apply oily skin care products to your ears.

In addition, the following is for reference only!

Earwax embolism, acute otitis externa and otomycosis are quite common in otological diseases.

The structure of the ear is divided into outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. What ordinary people can see is a part of the external ear, that is, the auricle and the lateral part of the external auditory canal. As for the inside of the external auditory canal, you need a professional otoscope or a headset to see it. The end of the external auditory canal is the eardrum.

Most people are puzzled as to whether the earwax should be removed. Earwax is the secretion of skin glands outside the ear canal, mixed with exfoliated epidermis and ear hair. There are yellow-brown sticky grease (commonly known as oily ears and wet ears) or dry lumps (commonly known as dry ears) mixed with ear canal skin debris. Earwax has the functions of lubricating the skin of the external auditory canal, sticking foreign bodies, preventing insects from invading, keeping warm and waterproof, and can be automatically discharged through the movement of the mouth and the growth direction of the skin of the ear canal. As long as the external auditory canal is not completely blocked, as long as there is a small crack, the ear can hear the sound without digging the ear. Therefore, it is best not to pick your ears. If you have to pull out your ear, please ask someone else to loosen the cotton with a fine cotton swab first, and then gently pull out the earwax, at most, when the earwax has run out of the mouth of the external auditory canal and is obviously easy to pull out.

Some people like to pick out their ears, but instead of cleaning them, they push the wax deeper into the ear canal. As time goes on, hard and big black earwax is formed again and again. One day, while washing your hair or swimming, water ran into your ears. As soon as the wax absorbs water, it expands and becomes bigger, and the external auditory canal is completely blocked. As a result, you can't hear the sound, and even press the skin of the external auditory canal, causing severe earache. Because the skin of the external auditory canal is very thin and there is little subcutaneous tissue, after the wax expands, it will be attacked inside and outside the bones of the external auditory canal, and the skin of the external auditory canal will be swollen and very painful, so you must find a doctor for treatment. If you are lucky, you can take it out completely on the spot. If you are unlucky, you can only take it out partially, add wax softener for three days, and then thoroughly clean it when you return to the clinic. As for the external auditory canal, if it is severely inflamed or even bleeding, it is necessary to add oral drugs. It should be noted that the ear drops should be stored at room temperature, not in the refrigerator, so as to avoid temporary dizziness after dripping into the ear when the liquid temperature is too different from the body temperature. In addition, it should be noted that dropping three to five drops of ear drops at a time is enough to melt the earwax, otherwise it will become like watering flowers if it is too little. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the follow-up visit as soon as possible after the earwax melts after three days of dripping. Don't wait until a few days after the liquid is dripped, so that the melted earwax will dry up and become a hard lump, wasting the earwax that has been painstakingly dripped a few days ago.

The causes of itchy ears may be earwax, mold, allergies or excessive dryness. Ear diggers often dig out earwax at any time. When the ear skin becomes too dry, it itches. If it itches, it wants to dig again, and then it itches even more. This vicious circle will become more and more serious.

When you accidentally dig into the external auditory canal, you may feel the pain at that time and then it will stop, so you don't know that your ear is hurt. After a day or two, my ears will become very painful. At this time, I have long forgotten the cause and effect of ear digging two days ago. Acute otitis externa can cause persistent ear burning pain, even ipsilateral headache and even severe pus discharge. Mild people can use drops or ointment, and severe people need antibiotics and painkillers to cure them.

If you get otomycosis, your ears will itch to death, and the earwax will grow very long, often covering the entire external auditory canal in a week or two. The causes of earwax can be environmental factors, secretions from ruptured eardrums and infections. The climate in Taiwan Province Province is warm and humid, and the external auditory canal runs into dirty water because of washing hair, getting wet in the rain and swimming. If you don't clean it for a long time, it will grow organically. There is chronic otitis media itself, and pus flows from the middle ear to the external auditory canal. If left untreated, it will grow moldy after a long time. People with beriberi (tinea pedis) pinch their feet with their fingers to stop itching, then dig their ears with their fingers without washing their hands, and then spread beriberi to the external auditory canal. I went to the barber shop for a haircut, but unfortunately I used an unsterilized public ear puller, so I was infected with otomycosis. The treatment of external auditory canal mycosis is time-consuming, because the earwax of external auditory canal mycosis will adhere to the epidermis and it is difficult to peel off. Even if the surface layer is peeled off, the residual roots will spread rapidly. Therefore, in addition to seeking treatment from an otologist, you should also order potions or ointments yourself every day, and you will be cured after patient treatment for at least two weeks.

Eighty percent of the symptoms of external auditory canal are caused by ear pulling. It's best not to pull it out. If you have to unplug it, you should use disposable cotton swabs carefully and gently, not reusable ear pluckers. Many unnecessary external auditory canal diseases can be avoided without picking your ears.
