5 ways we can keep our ears healthy?

Answer 1

Protect ears in the workplace from loud noise and dust with protective ear wear.

Protect ears from loud noise at concerts, nightclubs and from personal stereos or

MP3 players with earplugs or by taking regular breaks from the music.

Discomfort in the ears while flying is almost universal. However this can be

alleviated a number of ways including Chewing Gum, swallowing water or yawning while landing.

To keep your ears clean, wash the visible part of the ear and behind the ear with slightly soapy fingers. Then wipe the soap away with rinsed fingers and dry with a thin towel. Do not poke the corner of the towel or flannel into the entrance to the ear canal.

Don't put anything smaller than your elbow down your ear! This old adage should still be adhered to, and people should not try to remove wax using a cotton bud. The ear canal has a self-cleaning action. Some wax may appear on a cotton bud if one is used to clean the ear, but the majority of the wax will have been pushed from its normal position, backwards down the ear canal.

Rinse hair in fresh water when bathing. Lying down to rinse hair can cause an infection to develop as there are always body bacteria in the bath water and these can become trapped behind any wax in the ear canal.
