Spring Cleaning Your Ears: The Dos & Don’ts 🌸
Spring cleaning is for your house, not your ear canals! Before you reach for the swabs, make sure you’re cleaning your ears safely.
Here is the quick guide to keeping your hearing clear this season:
✅ THE DOs (Safe Ear Care)
• Do clean the exterior only: Use a warm, damp washcloth for the outer ear only.
• Do let wax do its job: It’s a natural barrier that protects your ears from dust and infection.
• Do use softening drops: A few drops of mineral oil can help stubborn wax move out naturally.
• Do see a professional: In Alberta, Hearing Aid Practitioners are specifically trained for safe, professional cerumen management.
❌ THE DON’Ts (Put the Swabs Down!)
• Don't use Q-tips: These push wax deeper, leading to impaction and muffled hearing.
• Don't try "Ear Candling": Health Canada warns this is ineffective and dangerous.
• Don't use sharp objects: Never use pins or clips; they can easily puncture your eardrum.
• Don't ignore muffled hearing: If your ears feel full, skip the "home fix" and see a pro.
