Hydrogen Peroxide in Ear Pros and Cons

On the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen peroxide in the ear
Everyone in the world, in the treatment of ear diseases, or the method of hearing hydrogen peroxide drops on the ear. However, the advantages and disadvantages of this move coexist, which cannot be ignored.

The advantages of hydrogen peroxide drops on the ear
One is that the cleaning power is significant. Cerumen and other filth often accumulate in the ear, and when hydrogen peroxide encounters it, it quickly reacts chemically, producing bubbles and loosening the cerumen, making it easy to discharge. Like a clear spring to remove scale, the ear canal is smooth, and the hearing may be slightly restored. For example, some people have a slight hearing impairment due to cerumen obstruction. After dropping the ear with hydrogen peroxide, the cerumen gradually emerges, and the ear feels refreshing and the hearing is also improved.

Second, the effect of disinfection and sterilization. If the ear canal is stained with micro-bacteria, it can cause inflammation, and hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidation, which can break the structure of bacteria and kill harmful bacteria. If the ear canal is red, swollen and painful, dropping hydrogen peroxide can kill bacteria, slow inflammation, and relieve the suffering of patients.

The Disadvantages of Hydrogen Peroxide Dropping Ears
However, everything has two sides, and hydrogen peroxide dripping ears also has drawbacks. Bear the brunt, irritation harm. The skin of the ear canal is delicate, and hydrogen peroxide is corrosive to a certain extent. If the concentration is improper, or if used too frequently, it is easy to hurt the ear canal mucosa, causing pain, redness, and even ulceration. Some patients have dripped their ears with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on their own, and felt severe pain. The posterior ear canal mucosa was damaged and healed difficult.

Furthermore, the worry of flora imbalance. The ear canal has its own flora ecology, which checks and balances each other to ensure health. When hydrogen peroxide sterilizes, or accidentally kills beneficial bacteria, it causes flora imbalance, making harmful bacteria more likely to breed, and inflammation is repeatedly difficult to heal.

To sum up, the use of hydrogen peroxide in the ear can help clean and disinfect, but it also has the risk of irritating and causing flora imbalance. Therefore, those who use it need to be carefully weighed, follow the doctor's advice, and do not make arbitrary claims, so as not to hurt the ear.
