ENT Doctors Debunk 11 Ear And Nose Myths | Debunked
Published 18 Jul 2021
Otolaryngologists Erich Voigt and Jacqueline Jones debunk 11 myths about the ear and nose. They talk about how to properly stop a nosebleed, clean your ears, and protect yourself from hearing loss. They also explain that earwax is good for your ears — it has antimicrobial properties that protect the insides of your ears. In fact, over-cleaning can cause swimmer's ear. Voigt is the division director of general otolaryngology at NYU Langone Health. He's been treating pediatric and geriatric patients for over 20 years and performs head and neck surgery.

When i literally couldn’t hear we went to EMT and they removed a block of wax from my ear, the doctor said q-tips are bad, but my mom yelled at me for not cleaning my ears. ... 875
I also do use q tips on the outside of my ear (often dipped in alcohol), something I was also worried I was doing wrong that is apparently okay lol ... 53
that was a terrible experience 476
Also;; to the people in the comments: (sorry in advance) literally a n y bug can get stuck in your ear if it can fit. Can include house bugs like ants and all that jazz :0 watch out! ... 11

Number 2. Yes, I was outside covering some blueberry bushes to keep birds from eating them. Then, all of a sudden, some small winged bug flew right in my ear and it was buzzing inside. That was truly a weird/strange feeling. At first I did not know what it was. I thought some bug was flying close to my ear several times but later realized it was right inside my ear canal. Yikes! Well, all I did was put some mineral oil in my ear and that killed it. Then I washed it out using an ordinary syringe filled with and warm water to wash it out. Syringes work a lot better than those ear bulb syringes sold at pharmacy's. Luckily, I did not freak out, knowing there was a buzzing bug inside my ear. I kept calm throughout the whole situation.
To conclude, just use your common sense and stay calm when it comes to your ears. BTW, just to let you know, if you are exposed to loud sounds, as this video talks about, the first thing you will lose are the high end sounds, not the deep base sounds. That means you will no longer hear crickets, cymbals or any other very high-pitched sounds. Always stay away from any area where you know there will be loud sounds like at a concert or gunfire. Gunfire close to the ear will have an immediate impact. That happened to me once and it took a couple of months for me to regain that lost hearing back. I was lucky that my hearing did come back. Take care of your ears and eyes because they are prone to a lot of damaging elements we are exposed to every day. ... 15
I wish someone have told the ant that bit and died inside my ear canal that... 78
Normal dogs don't have much debris in their ears, if we see debris in there it's almost always a sign of an infection. We also caution against using Q-tips, which can push debris in deeper, but I would never have an owner use something as harsh as alcohol or peroxide! Maybe dogs' ears are more delicate than humans'. ... 111
Fast forward ten years and a hearing test showed a big dip in the frequency response--right around the frequency of the jet engines on the helicopters I serviced. Coincidence? Even more annoyingly, in recent years I have developed tinnitus which is at almost exactly the same frequency so I can hear those engines whining in my ears 24/7.
Protect your hearing! If you are in noisy environments, wear the appropriate protection and don't take short cuts! ... 4
Lesson learned: swat them away from you, not into you
✨Good day,🙂 60
Like bugs can't fly, drop from the ceiling, or climb the legs of the bedframe. 63
So glad you debunked the "pinch the bridge and tilt back" concept. Leaning back only gives the blood a route to flow - right into your throat and down to your stomach. To promote clotting, stop the flow. Simple as that. The other one that made no sense was lean forward. Yeah, at least it's going into a tissue and not your throat, but why have it flow in the first place? Get a neutral attitude (the position will change depending on where the bleed is - is it low in the nostril or deeper in the nasal cavity) and hold it there. Minimal routes for the blood to flow, clotting is quick, and you don't have a dozen bloody tissues or an upset stomach from swallowing all that blood. ... 32
That way I can still hear the music and adjust the volume by shifting it around a bit. And if ur wondering, others can hear it but not clearly and its not too loud since they r a distance away. ...
I might actually have to go beyond and use braces (im 32) but just by removing the wisdom teeth, a lot has improved. ...
