Can wearing a hearing aid cause inflammation of the ear canal

Many netizens often ask me if wearing a hearing aid will cause inflammation of the ear canal, many suffer from hearing loss, but they think wearing a hearing aid will cause inflammation of the ear canal, so they dare not wear it, so will this happen?

First of all, on this issue, it can be clearly shown that the correct wearing of hearing aids will not cause inflammation of the ear canal.

If there is no inflammation in patients with hearing loss, wearing hearing aids is unlikely to cause inflammation. At the beginning, they will feel a certain discomfort. This is not a sign of inflammation, it is a normal phenomenon, which needs to adapt to a period of time. At the same time, in daily life, we also need to pay attention to the cleaning of the ear canal and hearing aids After bathing or swimming, the ear canal should be cleaned before wearing hearing aids.

Another situation is that the patients with hearing loss have inflammation. If the patients have inflammation, it is likely to cause the recurrence of the inflammation after wearing the customized machine in the ear. Because the customized machine is worn in the ear canal, the ventilation in the ear canal will not be smooth, leading to recurrence.

Therefore, if you are a hearing loss patient with a history of otitis media, you must talk to the fitting doctor when fitting the hearing aid to let them know your situation. For patients with a history of otitis media, we generally recommend them to use a better ventilated ear back machine, and this kind of patients should pay more attention to the cleaning of the hearing aid and the ear canal than the general people to prevent infection Inflammation.

When you wear it at ordinary times, you should ventilate your ears. When you take a bath or swim, you’d better take an earplug to prevent infection caused by water in the ear canal.

If our patients are not allowed to wear hearing aids during the onset of otitis media, wearing hearing aids at this time will allow pus to flow into the inner part of the hearing aids, resulting in damage to the parts of the hearing aids, so we should first treat the inflammation, and then wear hearing aids after the inflammation is eliminated.
