Our ears are an important organ that help us to enjoy the sounds around us, but here are three common causes of problems with the ears…
Earwax – Wax is there to help the ears and to clean it out. However, too much or too little wax can cause problems and lead to ear infections. When ear wax builds up, it can become impacted, and this makes it difficult to move along the ear canal. As well as causing an infection it can lead to loss of hearing and pain in the ear.
If you suffer from impacted ear wax, go to a professional like this ear wax removal Sutton Coldfield based company www.earwax.co.uk/ear-wax-removal-near-me/sutton-coldfield/ to have it removed.
Loud Noises – If you spend a lot of time in a noisy environment, such as working with loud tools or in a factory for example where there is a lot of machinery, or you like to go and listen to loud music at gigs and nightclubs, then you are at risk of tinnitus if you are not using hearing protection.
Tinnitus occurs when loud noises damage the tiny hairs in the inner ear and cause them to vibrate, however sometimes they don’t recover afterwards, and some tinnitus sufferers are stuck with the condition for a long time or even permanently.
Poking in the Ear – If you poke things into your ear, you may well be doing it with the best of intentions however you could be causing problems that could cause damage to the ear itself. Poking things in the ear can be another cause for impacted ear wax, as well as the fact that you could poke in too far and cause damage to the eardrum and other parts of the ear.
