Ear Hygiene – Tips for Safe Cleaning  
YUCK 

Tags: hygiene, ear, cleaning, health

Your external ear naturally produces oil and sheds skin tissue. While ear wax helps protect the delicate lining of your ear canal, excessive build-up over time may lead to blockage, hearing loss and the attraction of dirt, resulting in poor ear hygiene.

	Use clean hands to insert and remove earplugs.
	Clean your outer ear by gently washing it with a washcloth and warm water.
	Safely remove excess ear wax using over-the-counter ear wax removal solutions.
	Visit your ear, nose, throat (ENT) or otology physician for more extensive ear wax removal treatments or if you are experiencing ear pain, inflammation, blockage or hearing loss
