People who are deaf are lucky to be able to wear hearing aids whether they have oily or dry ears. Let you live in a society with sound like people with normal hearing.
Most of our ear canal secretions are dry and scaly, slightly yellowish crusts, called dry cerumen. A small number of people's secretions are always oily or mushy, dark brown in color, called oily cerumen (oily ears).
If oil ears need to be equipped with hearing aids, there is no problem with the behind-the-ear type, and the ear canal type should pay attention to the sound hole to prevent the cerumen from being blocked. Oily ears do not affect the wearing effect of hearing aids, as long as the ear canal is cleaned.
1. When choosing a customized machine or RIC hearing aid, you need to choose an oil-proof cerumen protective device to protect the receiver port of the hearing aid, and it is not easy to cause blockage.
2. Clean the ear mold or cerumen protective device in time to prevent the sound hole from being blocked. If the elderly choose BTE hearing aids as much as possible, the influence of oily cerumen on hearing aids can be avoided to the greatest extent. At the same time, it also reduces the difficulty of hearing aid maintenance. The elderly usually cannot see whether the mouth of the small receiver of the customized machine and RIC machine is blocked or whether it is clean. Difficulty in cleaning will increase the chance of the elderly hearing aid being idle, but it will not be compensated. the goal of.
3. Dehumidify hearing aids in time, use a drying box to dehumidify every day, and remove moisture from an electronic dryer 1-2 times a week.
1. Generally, it is best to clean the earwax once every two or three months. It is best to use a cotton swab to gently rotate the external auditory canal, and then turn the ear down to allow the cerumen to discharge by themselves. Avoid using nails, iron picks and other sharp objects to pick your ears.
2. If the external auditory canal is not cleaned for a long time, cerumen embolism may form, which may affect hearing. At this time, it is best to go to the hospital to ask a specialist to use special equipment to take it out. After taking it out, ear drops must be used for 2 to 3 days to prevent infection.
3. Do not dig out earwax indiscriminately every day. Under normal circumstances, earwax will fall off by itself, so there is no need to worry about ears being blocked. Because earwax will be shaken during people's daily chewing, mouth opening and other mandibular movements, and they will fall off and be excreted by themselves.
4. Even if water enters the ears due to shampooing, bathing, swimming, etc., there is no need to use cotton swabs to clean up. If there is a lot of water, just hop on one foot and gently shake the water out of your ears.
