Earwax Removal Supplies
You may not think much about earwax until it becomes a problem. Earwax, or cerumen, is produced by the body to help protect the ears. It works as a type of lubrication and has antibacterial properties.

Normally, it requires nothing more than cleaning with a damp towel to remove excessive buildup. However, if buildup becomes significant and isn’t cleaned away properly, it can cause damage to the ears, including hearing loss, infection, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and pain.

For some people, the answer to excess earwax is with an earwax removal system.

When Does Earwax Need to Be Removed?
Not everyone needs to clean their ears because the ears can do this independently. As earwax develops, it pushes outward to be wiped away. It’s a type of ear cleaning process that’s simple and basic.

However, there are times when wax becomes impacted. This commonly happens when earwax is pushed into the ear canal and collects there. When this happens, it’s difficult to remove and can build up enough to cause problems with hearing.

It’s always important to refer to a doctor’s recommendation for proper removal if you have symptoms of an infection or any hearing change.

What’s the Best Earwax Removal System?
There is a variety on the market, so it depends on what works best for you. Learning how to use an earwax remover kit is essential if you plan to use this tool to remove excessive buildup.

How To Use an Earwax Removal System
The first step in using these products is to read the directions and follow them extensively. They can differ from one product to the next, so read them each time. Following the directions helps to minimize any risk to your ears.

One ear wash system typically has a flexible tube that allows a solution to stream into the ear. The tube connects to the spray bottle to make this more of a controlled process.

The fluid moves into the ear and picks up the earwax present, then drains out into a reusable washbasin. It only takes a few minutes to use.

Generally, these ear wash removal tools are easy to manage and are typically quite affordable when appropriately used. There are also replacement tips that allow you to continue to use the same product numerous times.

Another earwax removal system has a carbamide peroxide solution that you put in the ear and let sit for a few minutes to soften the wax. There is also a rubber bulb in the kit that you use to suction out the fluid and wax.

If, when using these removal kits or before doing so, you feel any pain or experience bleeding, it’s essential to seek out the care of your doctor right away. Failing to use these systems outside of the recommendations of the manufacturer may cause damage to your ears.

While it may not be as high profile as heart health, eye health is certainly important. Unfortunately, healthy eyes are something many people take for granted until a problem arises. What can you do to take good care of your eyes?

Protecting Your Eyes from Common Hazards
Learn to safeguard your eyes throughout your life. Here are some tips to get you started:
  • Wear sunglasses. Sunlight does more than make you squint — UV light from the sun can damage your eyes. For the most protection, choose sunglasses that protect from both UVA and UVB radiation; shades that block 99 to 100 percent of UV are ideal.
  • Use protective goggles or glasses. While they may not make a fashion statement, safety glasses or goggles are a must with some activities like home repairs or running a string trimmer. Goggles keep foreign objects out of your eyes. They’re also important during certain sports, where eye trauma is a possibility.
  • Take a break from screens. Spending too much time focused on your computer, tablet, or phone can lead to dry, irritated eyes and eye strain. Make sure your screen is at least 20 inches away from your eyes, that you blink often, and adjust the brightness of the screen or lighting of the room to minimize glare. Following the “20/20/20” rule will also help reduce the negative effects of too much screen time. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to stare at something 20 feet distant. This allows your eyes to relax.
  • Wash your hands before you touch your eyes — especially if you wear contacts. No matter how clean your hands appear, they’re probably harboring some type of microorganism such as bacteria, and some germs can cause eye infections like conjunctivitis (commonly called “pink eye”).
Healthy eyes are part of a healthy body, so care for them as you do the rest of you. Have an eye exam every year. And pay attention—if you notice any changes in your vision, make an appointment with your eye doctor.
