Your ears are delicate organs — small habits can make a big difference in protecting your hearing.
1. Don’t use cotton buds inside your ears.
They push wax deeper and can hurt the eardrum. Instead, clean only the outer ear gently.
2. Keep your ears dry.
After swimming or showering, gently dry your ears with a towel to prevent infection.
3. Avoid loud noise.
Use ear protection or reduce volume when using headphones or being around loud sounds.
4. Treat ear pain or discharge early.
Delaying treatment can worsen infections or cause hearing issues.
5. Get your hearing checked regularly.
Routine ear checkups help detect early signs of hearing loss or wax buildup.
