In the public perception, Chinese ear inflammation is as if it were always closely linked to swimming, and many wrongly believe that it is “swam-induced”. In contrast, the causes of ear disease are complex and varied, and while swimming may be one of the triggers, it is by no means the only cause.
Mid-ear inflammation is mainly due to the fact that when water enters the ear, if it is not cleaned up in a timely manner, the bacteria or viruses in the water may breed and breed in the middle ear, causing inflammation. This risk is higher, especially in the case of a number of under-sanitary swimming pools or where the swimmer has his or her own ear-wire impairment. However, in addition to swimming, there are many other factors that can lead to ear inflammation.
The flu is one of the most common causes of ear inflammation. Inflammation in the nasal cavity and larvae can spread to the middle ear through the larvae when the human body has a cold. The larvae tube is a pipe that connects the mid-heart cavity to the nose and throat, and normally regulates the balance of the pressure of the mid-heart cavity. However, during colds, the piston mucous membranes are filled with blood and swelling, resulting in functional impairments, making bacteria, viruses and other pathogens in the nasal larvae more accessible to the mid-heart cavity and, in turn, causing ear inflammation. For example, children often suffer from ear pains and lower hearing symptoms after a cold, because of the relatively short, wide and straight strokes of the children ‘ s larvae, which make it easier for pathogens to enter the medium ear.
Snotlout may also cause ear inflammation. When snotting with force, the pressure in the nasal cavity rises sharply, forcing snot to enter the mid-heart through the larvae, bringing in bacteria or viruses together, thus placing a risk of earitis. For example, when people catch colds, they do not have the right snotlout method, and frequent snortings are prone to mid-ear infections.
Long-term exposure to smoking is also a risk factor for earitis. Harmful substances such as nicotine and tar in cigarettes stimulate the nasal cavity and mucous membranes in the throat, resulting in mucous membranes filled with blood, oedema, affecting the normal functioning of the larvae, and making the mid-ear cavity vulnerable to pathogens. Studies have shown that children who are chronically passive smokers are significantly more likely to suffer from ear disease than those who are not.
In addition, sharp changes in air pressure on board aircraft can trigger ear and ear inflammation. During the take-off and landing of the aircraft, the external pressure changes rapidly, while the pressure within the central ear cavity is not adjusted in time, which results in an imbalance between the centre ear and the external pressure. If the tube is not open in time to regulate the air pressure, it may cause mesmericity and osteoporosis. This is more common among people suffering from nasal cavity diseases such as nasal inflammation and sinus inflammation, which leads to poor larvae.
Certain systemic diseases are also associated with the occurrence of ear disease. For example, diabetes patients are vulnerable to a variety of infections, including ear and ear disease, due to high levels of blood sugar and reduced physical resistance. Also, diabetes patients tend to suffer from acute and more difficult conditions when they have an ear and ear disease, as high blood sugar conditions facilitate bacteria ‘ growth and reproduction.
In the case of actual cases, many persons with medium-earitis do not have swimming experience. At the hospital’s ear, nose and throat clinic, patients who come to the clinic with ear and ear symptoms following a cold are frequently diagnosed with Chinese ear disease, and others who work or live in a smoking environment for a long period of time are found to be suffering from Chinese ear and ear disease. These amply demonstrate that the incidence of ear disease is not solely due to swimming.
In order to prevent ear inflammation, we do need to be careful to take a number of protective measures when swimming, such as wearing ear plugs to avoid water entering ears; and to clean ears in a timely manner after swimming, without overdrive. However, this is only part of the prevention of ear disease. In our daily lives, we should also be active in preventing colds, and we should have the right methods of snotting, i.e., the lightness of the nostrils by the pressure side. The other side of the nasal cavity, which is then exchanged; avoid being in a smoking environment for as long as possible; when travelling on an aircraft, the opening of the pipe can be facilitated by chewing gum, swallowing, etc., and balancing the middle ear and external pressure. For people with whole-body diseases such as diabetes, strict control of blood sugar and increased physical resistance are needed to reduce the risk of ear disease.
All in all, the causes of Chinese ear disease are multiple, and we cannot be one-sided about swimming. Our ear health can be better protected only by a comprehensive understanding of the causes of the disease and the corresponding preventive measures.
