Friends, in today's modern era, most people listen to music on their mobile phones with earbuds, especially at high volume, which is harmful to our ears. Continuous listening to music has led to ear problems like itching, pain, and earwax buildup. To get quick relief, many people put oil in their ears – this is an age-old practice based on home remedies. But did you know that putting oil in the ears can lead to several other health problems? Let's learn about them:
1. Risk of Eardrum Rupture
Applying oil to the ears to relieve pain can be extremely risky. If the eardrum is weak or damaged, the oil can seep inside and cause it to rupture.
2. Risk of Permanent Hearing Loss
Putting oil in the ears can cause otomycosis—a fungal infection that can result in permanent hearing loss.
3. Further Ear Damage
If someone already has a ruptured eardrum, applying oil can worsen the condition. This can cause inflammation, swelling, and further damage to the eardrum.
4. Itching and Discomfort
Oil can accumulate dirt and moisture inside your ears, causing itching, irritation, and pain. Instead of soothing your ears, it can worsen the problem.
5. Fungal Infections
Unnecessary use of oil increases the risk of fungal infections in the ears. These infections can be painful and require long-term treatment.
