Teen age care for girls - 02. Ears

Just like other parts of your body, it is very important to take proper care of your ears.

Compared to other parts, it is relatively very easy to take care of your ears.

If you can just spare few minutes for it, you can have healthy ears both inside and out...

• Cleaning

• Every time you take bath, your ears also get washed automatically.
• Use a towel or cotton swab to wipe off water from the outer parts of your ears.
• You can also shake your head to remove the excess water.

• Pierced Ears

• It is a common practice to pierce ears to wear earrings.
• Once in a while, use a cotton swab or soft cloth to clean the hole in your ear lobe.
• If you have redness or itching sensation near the hole, that may be a sign of infection.
• Try to avoid wearing earrings till the infection goes away.
• It is also common that some girls are sensitive to earrings made of certain materials like plastic or metals.
• If you seem to have such sensitivity, avoid wearing earrings made of those materials.

• Hearing Music

• In this technology era, almost all teenagers seem to be listening music using headphones. While there is no major harm in listening to music using ear phones now and then, prolonged use might damage your hearing.
• So how can you avoid it?
• Try to keep the volume low...
• If a person who is standing next to you can hear the music playing in your ears then the volume is too high! Use this as a technique to find the normal / bearable volume levels.
• The above points also apply for girls who use ear phones for talking in mobile phones.

• Caring

• Never ever stick a pointy object into your ears... Not even a cotton swab!
• Using such objects might cause serious damage to your eardrums or canals.
• Ear wax:
• Interior of the ears have a yellowish stuff called Ear wax.
• Wax acts as a preventing layer, stopping dirt from entering your ear canal.
• But having too much wax can reduce your hearing ability.
• If you feel sort of plugged inside your ear, then it's time to consult an ENT specialist to clean up the wax.
