It is only when our ears begin to hurt that we become aware of their presence
. Every one of us takes our sense organs for granted especially the ears. Unlike the eyes which plays an important role in our daily lives, as long as we can hear all the sounds around us whether they are sweet melodious or jarring and harsh we forget to pay any attention to the pair of organs called ears on the side of the head.
Many a time we fail to even see our ears, even when we look into the mirror, how many of us take time to examine our ears? Our ears are as important to us as our eyes and nose. If we cannot hear what others say then life would indeed be difficult. Without ears we wont be able to appreciate all the sweet sounds of nature like the bird calls and the rustle of the trees.
Care for the ears starts with protecting them. Loud noise can be harmful to the ears as they damage the eardrum. Cover your ears with your hands whenever you happen to hear any loud noise. Ear problems arise when we use a sharp object like pencil to be inserted inside the ear. This will lead to the puncture of the ear drum resulting in loss of hearing. It pays to use soft ear buds to clean the ears. Removal of ear wax is not recommended as the ear wax actually helps to protect the ear drum.
If you have ear infections its best to seek medical help. Ear disorders if detected in children should be brought to the notice of a doctor at once to facilitate early treatment.
