Improper cleaning of the ears leads to very sad consequences. Doctors warn: do not use cotton buds and other traditional methods to clean your ears! Hydrogen peroxide, salt water, vinegar, vegetable oil, soda are no less harmful to the ear canal. Sophisticated cleaning methods lead to injuries to the inner ear and brain, which in turn can be fatal.

Few people talk about it, but there were 4 deaths due to improper ear cleaning in our country last year. The victims did not go to the doctor in time and the infection spread to the brain.

A ruptured eardrum and hearing loss are some less dangerous cases. They can be resolved with surgery. The wrong amount of vinegar can lead to burns of the middle and inner ear, while oil-based solutions, on the other hand, clog the canal and lead to the formation of an alveolar plug.

Ear drum

Another tragic event that happened not long ago. Due to improper cleaning of the ear with cotton swabs, a woman almost lost her hearing. He went to the hospital, but doctors were unable to fully restore his hearing. We contacted the woman to learn more about the incident.

- Hello! Could you tell us how this all happened? Have you had problems with your ears before?

Hello. I've never had any problems with my ears. I always tried to keep them clean and used cotton buds. I thought they were useful, but I was wrong. They do more harm than good. One day I felt an itchy sensation in the ear and a slight hearing problem, but I didn't have time to see a doctor. After a while, the situation got worse, I almost lost my hearing... It was a nightmare.

— Did you go to the hospital? What did they tell you?

I went to an ENT, it turned out that my case was not isolated. My ear was injured during the cleaning, which caused inflammation in the inner ear and my hearing went away. I was given a large amount of antibiotics, washes and in 2 weeks I had to undergo surgery. I had to take a long sick leave. I was very afraid of the fact that I would never be able to hear again.

- What happened next; Was the business successful?

Yes, but not enough... There were new complications along the way, the antibiotics didn't work. The operation had to be postponed. In the end, everything went well, but my hearing is not perfect and I have to wear a hearing aid. In addition, I had to change my job because of this disability.

— What would you advise our readers to avoid this situation?

When I was in the hospital, my roommate told me about a special device. It's called LED Ear Wax Remover . This device is a stick with a special silicone tip that removes the wax without damaging the drum. All doctors are against classic cleaning methods and swabs. But for some reason, they don't talk about it publicly, but you learn about it when you go to the hospital with a ruptured eardrum.

This interview is intended to be an example to those people who still use cotton buds to clean their ears. Do not put yourself at risk, use only special tools approved by doctors. Here is the link to the official website of the manufacturer of LED Ear Wax Remover. Stay healthy!

I will never use classic cleaning methods again. I would rather buy a medical device once to avoid any risks to my health.
