Tips and healthy habits for your ears

The ear has a very important role in our lives: perceiving the sounds surrounding us. However, it is also a delicate organ that must be taken care of, especially over the years. Most of you have bad habits that harm them, so below are some ear care tips.

1. Be cautious of TVs and headphones.

Try not to put the television volume and music too high. On the other hand, it is not recommended to have several sound devices working at the same time. Be especially cautious if you wear headphones. On the other hand, don’t turn up the volume above 60% in this situation. Also, it is recommended not to use headphones for more than an hour a day, so try to respect these times as much as possible.

If you notice a beeping sound when you take off your headphones, you have been wearing them for too long. In such cases, you should use Rechargeable Bluetooth Hearing Aids.

• Keep away from loud noises.

Avoid loud noises as much as possible. However, you are aware that these noises cannot always be avoided. If you work in a factory, these will inevitably be part of your day-to-day life. However, you can use insulating helmets or Rechargeable Bluetooth Hearing Aids if you want to care for your ears. For this reason, ensure that your ears always perceive the most pleasant sounds.

• Take precautions with water.

Remember that humidity can cause some problems, such as otitis or fungal infections. In such cases, you should use earplugs for the duration of swimming in the pool. Also, do not forget to dry the area well after the shower.

• Never introduce foreign elements.

Some people scratch their ears with an object, such as a hairpin, but this should always be avoided because it can cause damage to the inner membrane. Using cotton swabs to remove wax is also not recommended for ear care.

• Clean your ears in the right measure

Cleaning the area has to be part of your grooming and ear care routine. Do not use cotton swabs, but use soap and water. On the other hand, it is good to wash and dry them well, but remember at all times to leave some wax, as it protects you from infections.

• Watch out for infections, colds, and flu.

Although you should always pay attention to ear care, you should take these precautions whenever you have a cold or flu. Because in these cases, you are more predisposed to contracting any infection. Of course, if you notice any discomfort in the ear, do not hesitate to see a specialist.

Conclusion: Go to a specialist you notice discomfort in your ears, do not self-medicate and go to your specialist. He will tell you what to do. It is also recommended that you begin hearing screenings after age 50 for good ear care. This is because age can bring hearing loss.
