Pawns ears? The trouble is fixable

With everyone can happen such a misfortune, when he lays his ears. Not everyone is paying attention to this, but still many are beginning to worry and worry. The most optimal way out of the situation - to determine the cause, why pawns ears.

Imagine, at least simplistically, a diagram of the structure of the ear. Between the external auricle and the middle ear - an air filled cavity - is the auditory canal, terminating in the so-called eardrum. The pressure in the outer and middle ear should always be the same, and then there are no unpleasant sensations. There is another organ that helps maintain the pressure in a normal state - it's the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear and pharynx, and by the principle of communicating vessels, air can move freely, balancing the pressure. If this tube becomes too narrow or a blockage occurs, the pressure difference affects the eardrum, which causes unpleasant sensations and even pain in the ears.

Usually this is the main reason, when lays the ears with a sharp descent or ascent, for example, on an airplane, a high-speed elevator or a ski lift in the mountains. When lifting, discomfort in the ears, as a rule, disappears without additional intervention, because the Eustachian tube begins to stabilize the pressure, but when descending it is better to help the process and try to swallow saliva or make chewing movements. If the situation allows, you can still inflate the ball or blow it through the straw. This simple method helps to open the Eustachian tube, and in a short time the problem will disappear. If the ears begin to ache, then you need to make movements that allow the air to be pumped into the Eustachian tube - clamp your nose and try to exhale the air through the closed nose. Then the air from the crowded lungs through the pharynx will go into the middle ear, and when you open the nose, the ears stop pawning and pain will pass.

Another reason that the ears pawns can be a cold, perhaps, recently transferred. In this case, excess fluid from the nasopharynx can accumulate in the ears and create a sense of congestion. Of course, first of all you need to blow your nose as carefully as possible, and also to use special drops, narrowing the vessels, to increase the effect. Then you need to do special exercises for the ears and nasopharynx. Experts advise several types of such exercises. First, the tried and tested way of squeezing the nose and exhaling air through the closed nose until a sensation similar to "cotton" comes. Then you need to make a few movements that mimic swallowing. Zalozhennost can pass at once, and can and in five or ten minutes.

In addition, there is another way to cope with the situation when it lays the ears. It is necessary to push forward the lower jaw and try to rotate it, making both lateral movements and movements down and up, pushing the jaw as far as possible. After a while you will feel claps or clicks, which means that the cork is eliminated. With such movements, excess fluid returns from the ears to the nasopharynx. But, of course, you need to be careful not to dislocate the jaw.

It happens that the pain in the ears and the unpleasant sensations are caused by sulfur fines. After all, the ears, during their normal functioning, secrete sulfur, which in the course of time is deposited in the ear canal. If the sulfur is too much and the water gets into the ear, sulfur can swell, and then there will be no free space or too little left. This can cause hearing loss. If this happens, it is better not to try to rinse your ear or clean it with cotton wool, but directly contact the doctors who will remove the cork professionally.

Often pawns ears due to diseases such as eustachitis or otitis. Inflammation of the eustachian tube that connects the middle ear and the nasopharynx can lead to blockage of this tube, and then the tympanic membrane seems to be drawn inwards. As this occurs in a cold disease, a person often blows his nose, and the excess pressure created while doing this causes a feeling of stuffiness. When the ear "departs" and the pipe "falls apart", you can hear a characteristic crack. If at the same time the above exercises on normalizing the pressure do not help, you need to go to the ENT. After all, people's ways do not replace medical care, they only complement it, and it's not worth taking risks.
