Learn how to safely remove ear wax
Sometimes your ears feel itchy or irritated because earwax, technically a substance called cerumen, sometimes builds up inside. It’s normal for your body to produce earwax, and it actually helps protect and lubricate your ears. If you didn’t have earwax, your ears would probably be itchy and dry. Earwax also has antibacterial properties, which means your ears are self-cleaning. Earwax is like a filter for your ears, keeping out harmful things like dirt and dust, and trapping them so they don’t go deep inside.
Why your ears make ear wax
Earwax acts primarily as a filter for your ear canal, preventing harmful things like dirt and dust from getting inside. It also acts as a moisture barrier and prevents the inside of your ear from getting dried out and itchy. It’s also possible that your body produces too much ear wax and it can clog or build up, but this usually doesn’t happen too frequently. If you get a large build-up of too much ear wax your ear canal can become clogged, or impacted, and you may need to visit a doctor to have it cleaned out.
Do ears clean themselves?
Ears usually do clean themselves; and earwax is how they do it. Your ear canals stay cleaner because earwax prevents dirt and dust from accumulating inside. The earwax naturally works its way out of your ear canal and falls out of your ear. Sometimes this process doesn’t work as planned and the earwax can build up, that’s where a digital otoscope can come in handy.
When should you clean your ears?
Most of the time you just have to clean dirt and dust out of your outer ear area. If you have been in a really dirty or dusty environment or you notice your ears feel clogged you should use a digital otoscope to see if you have a lot of earwax accumulating or dirt in your ear canal. Digital otoscopes also make excellent ear cleaners. Teslong digital otoscopes include soft silicone ear spoons to safely scoop out excess ear wax or other dirt from your ear canal.
