• epideromidalnye - the hardened plug of particles of dead epidermis, sulfur and pus.

Why is formed cerumen

Generated ear glands substance lubricates the wall of the auditory canals, to protect them from infection, insects and bacteria to grow.

By formation of cerumen which are able to swell significantly affecting hearing acuity, can lead to the following factors:

1. When overactive glands that emit sulfur, she can not leave the ear canal in a timely manner and firmly attached to its walls. This phenomenon may be caused by congenital auricular viscosity patient sulfur or one of the signs of impaired functioning of organs and systems. For example, the risk of traffic jams increased in excess of cholesterol in the blood.
2. Too long, curved and narrowed ear canal is not able to purify themselves. In this case it is necessary to periodically remove accumulations of sulfur manually.
3. If a person works in conditions of high air pollution, it stands out the ear lubricant. The fine dust floating in the air in construction, cement manufacturing plants, bakeries, gets into the inner part of the ear and connected to the sulfur, forming a seal.
4. When diving water dramatically pushes a secret inside, so people who are professionally engaged in swimming, often suffer from clogging the ear canals.
5. A common reason for the formation of traffic jams - illiterate care. Continuous washing ears causes hypersecretion sulfur and dive into the ear tightly twisted cotton swabs and chopsticks, compresses the secret area of ​​the eardrum.
6. Due to the failure of lipid metabolism, sulfur is able to become more viscous, quickly turns into a dense clot.
7. In elderly patients, as well as people suffering from otitis media, eczema or dermatitis, a process of natural removal secretion slows down.
8. Frequent use of a mobile headset or hearing aid, does not allow the passage ushnomu cleaned.
