5. Proper Ear-Cleaning
The ears and ear canal do an amazing job of keeping debris and dust away from the inner-ear canal, but it’s true that this isn’t always the case. Many people experience a build-up of ear wax that later leads to temporary deafness and can lead to ear infections or permanent hearing damage over time, and it’s usually easy enough to treat with proper and regular ear cleaning.
Clean your ears regularly, and be sure to do so after a bath or shower when wax deposits are more likely to have softened up: Never dig in your ears with anything, it can only be more dangerous to your health – and this is more true if you scratch or poke anything inside your ear deeper than you should.
If hardened wax becomes a regular issue, make an appointment with your doctor: Sometimes a proper cleaning by a specialist is needed to fix the problem.
