Proper ear care plays an important role in preserving the sense of hearing, which is of great importance in communicating with others, and in preserving cognitive abilities.

Ear, Nose and Throat doctor, German Professor Thomas Klinsner, said that the auditory canals have the advantage of self-cleaning;

So the ear does not need to be cleaned except when necessary.

He added that the earwax, which is visible in the front of the flap of the ear, can be removed by means of a cotton swab, taking into account not to penetrate into the auditory canal or forcefully press with a cotton stick, or any other sharp instrument such as a pin or file.

If this is not adhered to, small wounds may arise that help germs penetrate, and then infection in the auditory canal and eardrum.

In the event that you feel itching and pain in the ear, then you should go to the doctor to determine the real underlying cause of these symptoms, which may be due to infection or allergy.

Also, some inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and neurodermatitis cause an itchy sensation in the auditory canal or ear pinna.

For his part, the German otolaryngologist Bernhard Jung-Hulsing stressed the need to protect the ear from constant exposure to loud noise;

It may cause damage to the ear if the noise level exceeds 85 decibels is continuously exposed.

If the nature of the work requires exposure to this high level of noise, then ear protectors should be worn.

Yongh-hulsing also stressed the need to consult a doctor if the first signs of hearing impairment are noticed, such as setting the television on too high a volume, and asking to repeat the speech while chatting.

The earlier hearing impairment is diagnosed, the greater the chances of treatment and preservation of the sense of hearing, bearing in mind that a good sense of hearing prevents the deterioration of cognitive abilities and reduces the risk of developing dementia.

In general, care should also be taken to follow a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals to maintain a healthy ear.
