Ear Care And Hearing 

The Importance of Correct Ear Care

The ear is incredibly delicate. Whilst it is more than capable of putting up with quite a bit of abuse (most of the body is!), it will eventually fail. As mentioned previously; if your ears start to fail then it is unlikely you will get your high quality hearing back. Most cases of hearing loss are 100% preventable. I am not going to talk to you about avoiding loud noises or wearing ear plugs. This is common sense, or at least it should be. What I want to talk to you about is ear wax removal.

Ear wax is designed to protect the inner ear from infection (it will catch anything as it enters the ear the stop it impacting the ear drum). For the most part the body should find it fairly easy to eradicate the ear wax build up. In some cases however the body is unable to get rid of the ear wax simply because there is too much build-up. This is where ear wax cleaning will come into play. Do not even entertain the notion of putting a q-tip (or anything else for that matter) into your ear though. This won’t help in the slightest. Instead you will want to look into techniques such as ear candling, regarded as one of the most effective ear cleaning techniques out there at the moment.

Ear candling will use something known as an ‘ear candle’. An ear candle is basically a cotton or linen cloth wrapped up into a candle shape. It is then soaked in wax before everything hardens together. An ear candle will often be paired with a special plate which will collect the wax dripping from the candle. This plate will be inserted into the ear canal.

The process of ear candling is rather simple. When the candle is lit, it is believed that a small vacuum will be created in the ear canal. It is said that this will draw wax and anything else in your ear up into the small candle. Most people will feel a great sense of relief after the process has been completed.

Whilst ear candling can be performed in the comfort of your own home, it is worth noting that the special care must be taken while performing ear candling process. If you are not comfortable with the notion of placing a burning candle into your ear then you might consider seeking professional help in order to have your ear cleaning carried out. You can of course purchase candles online to do it yourself. Do make sure you understand the process fully though or it won’t work.
