What are Ear Plugs?

Soundproof earbuds (also known as noise-proof earbuds, sound-proof earbuds, noise-cancelling earbuds, sleep earbuds, and stationary earbuds) are generally made of silicone or low-pressure foam material and highly elastic polyester materials. After inserting the ear canal, it is in close contact with the external ear canal to isolate sound from entering the middle and inner ears (ear drums) to achieve the purpose of sound insulation, so that people can get a quiet rest or work and study environment.

Earliest

Scrub: Roll the earbuds into strips. The thinner the ear, the easier it is to wear.

Slow rebound effect

The elasticity is too large. When the anti-noise earplugs swell, they can compress the skin of the external auditory canal, which can cause discomfort such as ear swelling and ear pain.

Wash hands before use.

Clean the ear canal before wearing to reduce secretion residue.

Gently press the earbuds for 30 seconds until the earbuds are fully inflated.

Timely

Using earplugs can cause earwax to be pushed into the middle ear while the earplugs are inserted into the ear canal, which can cause tinnitus, weaken hearing, pain or bacterial infections. Users with excessive earwax should use the earbuds more carefully, and the earbuds should be washed frequently with water and mild soap. However, foam-type earbuds are usually disposable and can be discarded when used, and they may lose their slow rebound properties when soaked in water.

In addition, anti-noise earplugs may also be a trigger for otitis, because many bacteria will multiply more vigorously in a warm and humid environment, but the probability of this happening is very small, mainly because the patient has Caused by early symptoms of otitis. If earplugs are needed for patients with otitis, it is recommended to consult the relevant doctor first if they can wear them.

Therefore, it is safer to use anti-noise earplugs, but some potential dangers that may occur during long-term use must be prevented:

Inserting the earbuds causes the air pressure in the middle ear to rise, and pushing the earbuds causes pain, because the earbuds are inserted too deeply. To avoid this danger, first thin the earbuds and insert them into the pre-set ideal position, it is best not to push them in when the earbuds are fully inflated. The reverse is also true, in order to avoid the ear drum being squeezed when pulling out the earplugs, the earplugs should be slowly rotated out instead of being forced out.
