What is the proper care of the ears?

Proper ear care includes keeping the ears clean and dry, avoiding the insertion of objects like cotton swabs, which can push wax deeper or cause injury. It's important to monitor for signs of infection, such as pain or discharge, and consult a healthcare professional if any issues arise. Regularly check and maintain ear hygiene, but do not over-clean, as some earwax is natural and protective. Additionally, protect your ears from loud noises and wear ear protection when necessary.
