The Harmful Habit of Ear Scraping: How It Can Lead to Moldy Ears and Infections

BANTENHAY.COM– Too often picking at the ears turns out to be a habit that can actually make the ears moldy.

The ear is one of the most important and influential organs in humans that functions as a hearing instrument.

Not only as a hearing tool, the ear also acts as an organ of balance along with the eyes, joints, muscles and skin.

The ear consists of three parts, namely the outer, middle and inner parts which are most susceptible to infection because they are difficult to reach.

Uniquely, besides the eyes and skin, the ear is also one of the organs found outside the human body, therefore the maintenance of this organ is actually quite easy.

Unfortunately, many people think that the habit of cleaning their ears by scraping can maintain cleanliness and be able to maintain healthy ears from various diseases.

But it turns out, fungus will easily grow in ear conditions that are too clean, which can also trigger an infection.

Why? Because when we dig our ears, it can actually make the fat layer and the acid layer that is on the inside will be wasted.

Even though the presence of a layer of fat and acid can prevent it from keeping the ear canal moist so it doesn’t cause itching.

In addition, the acidic layer in the ear also functions to regulate the pH of the ear so that bacteria and fungi do not grow in the ear.

So that if the ears are too clean, it can actually trigger the emergence of fungus which can also cause ear infections.

Quoted from TikTok @doktertht, cleaning your ears is actually highly recommended as long as you use the right tools and not too often.

Avoid cleaning your ears by scraping them directly with your fingers, especially if they are dirty and have long nails.
