Is pulling out ear mucous membrane injury symptom?

The common understanding of the eardrum is that once the eardrum breaks, there is no hearing. In fact, it is not so. The injury of tympanic membrane is quite common in daily life. Many people dig too deep when they dig out their ears, and they feel painful when they touch the eardrum, which is likely to be a small hole in the eardrum. The function of tympanic membrane is to expand the volume and enhance hearing. The damage or even rupture of tympanic membrane will only affect hearing, but it will not completely lead to deafness. Most people accidentally break a small hole in the eardrum when they pull out their ears. Generally speaking, they can recover themselves in about 3 months.

If the ear is sore or injured by using a clean ear stick, you don't need to drop anti-inflammatory drugs in this case.

Chen guangui said that oil ear and dry ear are inherited and there is no way to change them. Once people with oil ears feel the oil is flowing out, it's OK to clean the visible external auditory canal with ear stick. However, the normal person's earwax will automatically fall off, under normal circumstances will not be blocked. Whether it's oil ear or dry ear, the frequency of cleaning earwax is about once a month. On the one hand, the growth rate of earwax is not so fast; on the other hand, earwax also has a certain protective effect, so don't "strangle it in the cradle".

Our ears have two sections. The outer section of the external auditory canal is covered with skin, and it doesn't hurt if we accidentally touch it. But the surface of the invisible section is thin mucous membrane, which will hurt when touched. When cleaning, it is better to use soft and clean cotton swabs and hard ear pulling tools, such as ear scoops, which are not good.
