Lately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people are wearing them for longer periods of time during virtual learning and \u201cZoom\u201d meetings. While they are convenient for hands-free and private listening, improper use can lead to ear problems.<\/p>\n<p>Ears produce wax to protect the ear canal from infection and to help clear out dust and dirt. Wearing earphones for a prolonged period of time can cause wax to be pushed in and obstruct the ear canal leading to hearing loss or infection. Additionally, prolonged noise exposure, especially at loud volumes, can lead to hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing) over time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWireless earphones are often worn for large spans of time, especially now as the COVID-19 pandemic has switched school and work to virtual spaces. Any object that blocks the wax from its natural pathway out of the ear or pushes it in can lead to build up and obstruction,\u201d says Donald Solomon, MD, Director of Pediatric Otolaryngology and Adult Otology at Cooper University Health Care. He recommends that you do not push ear buds too deeply into the ear canals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you block up the ear canal with wax it can cause a temporary hearing deficit as well as trap water after swimming or showering,\u201d continues Dr. Solomon. \u201cThis can lead to an ear canal infection which, if left untreated, is painful and has the risk of complications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outer ear infections, often called swimmer\u2019s ear, or otitis externa, occur when the skin of the ear canal becomes inflamed and infected from water trapped behind wax or from the act of trying to remove wax and damaging the skin of the ear canal. Symptoms of swimmer\u2019s ear or otitis externa, include ear pain, ear redness and swelling, fluid draining from the ear(s), fever, and hearing loss.<\/p>\n<p>In many cases of middle and outer ear infections, antibiotics are necessary. It\u2019s important to get treatment for an ear infection. If left untreated, an ear infection can lead to more serious conditions, including infection of the bone around the ear canal, a ruptured eardrum, permanent hearing loss, or problems with speech and language.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Solomon advises that earphones should be cleaned using alcohol every day to help prevent the spread of bacteria. To properly clean the earphones, dip a cotton swab into isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and wipe the bud mesh to disinfect and remove any residue that remains. Do not oversaturate the cotton swab with alcohol to avoid ruining the earphone. \u201cIt\u2019s important to give your ears a break from earphones so they can clean themselves, so if you do need to use earphones for long periods of time because of virtual school or work, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, try an over-the-ear headphone alternative,\u201d says Dr. Solomon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists in the Division of Otolaryngology \u2013 Head and Neck Surgery at Cooper University Health Care are experts in diagnosing and treating ear infections in patients of all ages.

Si bien son convenientes para la escucha privada y con manos libres, el uso inadecuado puede provocar problemas de o\u00eddo.<\/p>\n<p>Los o\u00eddos producen cera para proteger el canal auditivo de infecciones y para ayudar a eliminar el polvo y la suciedad. El uso de auriculares durante un per\u00edodo de tiempo prolongado puede hacer que la cera se introduzca y obstruya el canal auditivo y provoque una p\u00e9rdida de audici\u00f3n o una infecci\u00f3n. Adem\u00e1s, la exposici\u00f3n prolongada al ruido, especialmente a vol\u00famenes altos, puede provocar p\u00e9rdida de audici\u00f3n y tinnitus (zumbidos) con el tiempo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLos auriculares inal\u00e1mbricos a menudo se usan durante largos per\u00edodos de tiempo, especialmente ahora que la pandemia de COVID-19 ha cambiado la escuela y el trabajo a espacios virtuales. Cualquier objeto que bloquee la cera de su camino natural fuera del o\u00eddo o la empuje hacia adentro puede provocar acumulaci\u00f3n y obstrucci\u00f3n\u201d, dice Donald Solomon, MD, Director de Otorrinolaringolog\u00eda Pedi\u00e1trica y Otolog\u00eda de Adultos en Cooper University Health Care. \u00c9l recomienda que no introduzca los auriculares demasiado profundamente en los canales auditivos.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Si bloquea el canal auditivo con cera, puede provocar un d\u00e9ficit de audici\u00f3n temporal y atrapar agua despu\u00e9s de nadar o ducharse&#8221;, contin\u00faa el Dr. Solomon. &#8220;Esto puede provocar una infecci\u00f3n del canal auditivo que, si no se trata, es dolorosa y tiene el riesgo de complicaciones &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Las infecciones del o\u00eddo externo, a menudo llamadas o\u00eddo de nadador u otitis externa, ocurren cuando la piel del canal auditivo se inflama e infecta por el agua atrapada detr\u00e1s de la cera o por el acto de tratar de eliminar la cera y da\u00f1ar la piel del canal auditivo. Los s\u00edntomas del o\u00eddo de nadador u otitis externa incluyen dolor de o\u00eddo, enrojecimiento e hinchaz\u00f3n del o\u00eddo, drenaje de l\u00edquido del o\u00eddo (s), fiebre y p\u00e9rdida auditiva.<\/p>\n<p>En muchos casos de infecciones del o\u00eddo medio y externo, se necesitan antibi\u00f3ticos. Es importante recibir tratamiento para una infecci\u00f3n de o\u00eddo. Si no se trata, una infecci\u00f3n de o\u00eddo puede provocar afecciones m\u00e1s graves, como infecci\u00f3n del hueso alrededor del canal auditivo, ruptura del t\u00edmpano, p\u00e9rdida permanente de la audici\u00f3n o problemas del habla y el lenguaje.<\/p>\n<p>El Dr. Solomon aconseja que los auriculares se limpien con alcohol todos los d\u00edas para ayudar a prevenir la propagaci\u00f3n de bacterias. Para limpiar correctamente los auriculares, sumerja un hisopo de algod\u00f3n en alcohol isoprop\u00edlico (frotando) y limpie la malla de botones para desinfectar y eliminar cualquier residuo que quede. No sature el hisopo de algod\u00f3n con alcohol para evitar arruinar el auricular. \u201cEs importante que sus o\u00eddos descansen de los aud\u00edfonos para que puedan limpiarse solos, por lo que, si necesita usar aud\u00edfonos durante largos per\u00edodos de tiempo debido a la escuela virtual o al trabajo, debido a la pandemia de COVID-19, pruebe con un -Auriculares alternativos\u201d, dice el Dr. Solomon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Los especialistas en o\u00eddo, nariz y garganta (ENT) de la Divisi\u00f3n de Otorrinolaringolog\u00eda &#8211; Cirug\u00eda de cabeza y cuello de Cooper University Health Care son expertos en el diagn\u00f3stico y tratamiento de infecciones del o\u00eddo medio (otitis media) en pacientes de todas las edades.
