Most of the time our ears can get on with what they need to do, and we don’t have a problem with them. However, some of the things that our ears do naturally can sometimes cause problems. For example, ear wax is something that is produced by the ear to help keep it clean and to help stop infection from getting in but can sometimes cause a problem.
When the wax builds up and hardens it can block the ear which can be very painful for the person suffering from it. When this happens, you should go to a professional like this ear wax removal Moreton in Marsh based company https://www.earwax.co.uk/ear-wax-removal-near-me/moreton-in-marsh to get the wax removed.
Another issue that many people experience with the ears is when they fly. With summer just around the corner and lots of us looking forwards to holidays, there will be more people flying, and some will experience issues with the ear.
The reason that some people experience an issue when flying is down to the Eustachian tube. This is what connects the inner ear which is behind the drum to the back of the nose. This tube is normally closed, but as a plane goes up or down, the air needs to be of equal pressure in both parts of the ear. Because air pressure is higher at ground level, many people find that when the plane descends this causes them pain.
To open the tube and relieve the pressure, you can yawn, swallow or chew. People with smaller tubes or an infection in them may have more issues getting the tube to open fully and relieve the pressure. If you are prone to having problems, taking an antihistamine or a decongestant spray before you fly can help.
