Ear health advices

The two-headed ear chops are specially made for the difficult anatomy of the ears, removing the wax without pushing it into the ear canal. They have double cleaning action. First use the spoon-shaped end, which removes excess wax to the outside of the channel, then use the wool-wrapped end to clean the area. Slowly insert the cup-shaped end into the external auditory canal, as you turn the chisel, carefully removing any trace of wax.

Bath Ear Care was set up and is run by Emma Brown, a registered general nurse with over 25 years experience in community and practice nursing. It’s this expertise (and Emma’s numerous qualifications) that mean you’re in safe hands, and can be easily referred if required. Microsuction is a safe wax-removal technique using specialised a high magnification binocular operating microscope allowing depth-perception and magnification to look directly into the ear canal. The clinician then uses a very fine sterile suction device at safe low pressure to remove the wax buildup. See more details at Ear cleaning in Bath UK.

We are all aware that we must take care of the health of the ears, but we do not all know how sensitive they are and how carefully they must be cleansed. For example, cotton swabs are used by most people, but most of the time the limit is exceeded and the skin inside the ear is irritated from too much rubbing.

Specialists argue that therapeutic candles can be more dangerous than ear sticks. This method used to clean the ear wax with a candle involves the introduction of a cone covered by a layer of beeswax or parsnip and its ignition at one end. It is assumed that once the heat is released, the wax is drawn outward. People who used ear candles were chosen with burns, obstruction of the ear canal and ear injury.
