Doctors are now telling us what grandparents have known for decades - don't stick anything smaller than your elbow into your ears. An organization of ear specialists in the USA, the American Academy of Otolaryngology, has said cleaning your ears with cotton buds (aka Q-tips) can cause long-lasting damage to your eardrums and hearing. Dr Jennifer Caudle told Yahoo Beauty that cotton buds seem harmless objects but can cause significant damage. She said: "I know people want to stick things in their ears and they think it’s the right thing to do, but [cotton buds] can cause holes in the eardrum, irritation in the canal, and can predispose you to getting infections."

醫(yī)生們現(xiàn)在告訴我們一個祖輩們已經(jīng)知道了幾十年的事實——不要把比手肘小的任何東西放進耳朵里。美國耳科專家組織美國耳科學(xué)會表示，用棉簽清理耳朵會對耳膜和聽力造成永久性的傷害。Jennifer Caudle醫(yī)生告訴Yahoo Beauty，棉簽看上去是無害的物品，但是會導(dǎo)致重大傷害。她說：“我知道人們想要把什么東西放進耳朵里，認為這是正確的，但是棉簽會導(dǎo)致耳膜穿孔，刺激耳道，還容易造成感染。”

The Academy has also recommended that people change their image of earwax and think of it as an essential substance to keep our ears healthy. Dr Seth Schwartz said: "There is an inclination for people to want to clean their ears because they believe earwax is an indication of uncleanliness. This misinformation leads to unsafe ear health habits." Doctors say our body produces earwax for a good reason. It does an essential job of cleaning out the ears, stopping them from drying out, and helping them to sweat naturally. It also protects the inner ears against bacteria, bugs, dirt and dust. Using cotton buds can push earwax further inside the ear and cause blockages, which can undo all the good work of earwax.

該學(xué)會還建議人們改變對耳垢的看法，將耳垢視為保護耳朵健康的必須物質(zhì)。Seth Schwartz醫(yī)生表示：“人們有一種清理耳朵的愛好，因為他們認為耳垢是不干凈的標志。這種錯誤的信息導(dǎo)致不安全的耳部衛(wèi)生習(xí)慣。”醫(yī)生們表示，我們的身體產(chǎn)生耳垢是出于一個好的原因。耳垢可以完成清理耳朵的必須工作，防止耳朵干燥，幫助耳朵自然流汗。耳垢還可以保護內(nèi)耳免受細菌，昆蟲，污垢和塵土的污染。使用棉簽把耳垢推向更深入耳朵的地方，導(dǎo)致堵塞，破壞耳垢的所有益處。
