We often overlook our ears when it comes to personal care. But just like brushing your teeth or washing your face, keeping your ears clean and healthy is essential for overall well-being. At Hear Now, we help people across the DY postcode take control of their ear hygiene & health with mobile appointments and expert guidance.
Here are some easy tips and useful facts to help you maintain excellent ear hygiene at home:
🔊 1. Don’t Over-Clean Your Ears
Contrary to popular belief, ear wax (cerumen) is actually beneficial. It traps dust and debris, and it has antibacterial properties. Cleaning too often, especially with cotton buds, can remove too much wax or push it deeper into the ear canal.
Instead:
- Wipe the outer ear with a damp cloth
- Never insert objects into your ear
✨ 2. Let Your Ears Breathe
Make sure your ears get proper air flow:
- Avoid wearing headphones or earplugs for extended periods
- If you sweat a lot (e.g., during workouts), wipe your ears afterward
💧 3. Avoid Water Trapping
Excess moisture can lead to infections like swimmer’s ear. After bathing or swimming:
- Tilt your head to drain water
- Gently dry the outer ear with a towel
🔬 4. Watch for Signs of Trouble
Be aware of these early signs of ear issues:
- Muffled hearing
- Pain or itching
- Ringing (tinnitus)
- Unusual discharge
These could be signs of wax buildup or infection. If you’re unsure, book a professional check.
⚖️ 5. Regular Ear Health Checks
Just like eye or dental exams, an annual ear check-up can help detect and prevent issues before they worsen.

- ✅ HD digital otoscopy

All done in the comfort of your own home anywhere in the DY postcode area.
