Ear canal cleaning
Ear canal cleaning. Cotton bud with ear wax (cerumen) on its tip.(centre, brown). Ear wax is secreted by the ceruminous glands, it helps to prevent micro-organisms from entering the ear. A build-up of wax, caused by poor personal hygiene or infection, can impair hearing. The use of cotton buds to clean the ear canal (auditory meatus) is discouraged by doctors. They may impact ear wax or even perforate the ear drum (tympanum)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the delicate process of ear canal cleaning. At the center, a cotton bud is depicted with a visible accumulation of ear wax or cerumen on its tip, displaying shades of brown. Cerumen is naturally secreted by the ceruminous glands and serves as a protective barrier against micro-organisms that could potentially invade the ear. However, an excessive build-up of wax due to poor personal hygiene or infection can lead to hearing impairment. The image emphasizes how doctors discourage using cotton buds for cleaning the auditory meatus or ear canal. This common practice can inadvertently impact and push ear wax deeper into the canal, causing potential harm such as perforation of the eardrum (tympanum). The female subject in this photograph has pierced ears adorned with a stud earring, highlighting her connection to personal hygiene and care. Through this visually striking composition, Science Photo Library raises awareness about both risky practices and proper methods for maintaining auricular health. It reminds viewers that while cleanliness is crucial, it should be pursued cautiously without endangering one's well-being. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that our bodies possess intricate systems requiring careful attention and informed decision-making when it comes to their maintenance.
