Young parents are very fond of cleanliness, almost giving their babies a bath and changing clothes every day, and paying great attention to their babies' personal hygiene issues. Some parents may also frequently clean their babies' ears, which is beneficial for their ear development but also has negative effects. Will digging out a baby's ears cause them to become deaf?
For babies, the stratum corneum of the ear canal skin is prone to swelling and hair follicles are prone to blockage, which is conducive to bacterial growth. Compared with adults, babies' ear canal skin is more delicate, and the natural connection between the ear and the cartilage membrane is tighter. There is less subcutaneous tissue, and if the ear is not cleaned properly, it can easily cause damage and infection to the external ear canal. In severe cases, it can affect hearing and even lead to deafness.
Many functions of the body can prevent infections and inflammations caused by various reasons, such as otitis media and otitis externa. Parents must be careful not to frequently clean their baby's ears. The eardrum inside a baby's ear is a very thin membrane, with a thickness of only about 0.1 millimeters, not much thicker than paper. If the ear is frequently dug out, it can inadvertently cause damage to it. It should be noted that chronic ear stimulation can also cause papillomas in the external auditory canal, so do not always clean your baby's ears.
In fact, many parents may experience adverse effects on their baby's development due to a lack of parenting knowledge. Therefore, if they want to take better care of their baby, they should learn more. Once problems arise, they can also know where they are wrong, so that they can provide better health care for their baby.
