All these practices are said to be bad and must be avoided at all cost. The more you insert these foreign materials into your ears, you stand at a very high risk of it entering deep into your ear canal putting you at risk of several ear complications.
When you have itchy ears, the best thing you can do according to GiftedEars Gh is to massage the small projection known as Tragus which is just at the entrance of your ear canal for relief but since that wouldn’t solve the problem, what you have to do next is to go see an ENT(Ears, Nose and Throat) nurse at the hospital for proper treatment.
It is quite rare to see people with itchy ears or dirt in the ears make arrangements to go see an ENT nurse but rather wait till there are serious complications before we even think of that option.
It’s a habit we need to cultivate in going to see an ENT nurse anytime we see or experience any itching or dirt in our ears. Going for checkups at least once every three months will help keep the ears in good shape in order to avoid being partially deaf in some time to come.
