Active Webinar
Hearing is one of the most fundamental senses. We use it to communicate, absorb information and process what is happening around us. In addition, the structure of our ear is also responsible for our balance. Protecting this organ is therefore vital to sustaining our wellbeing.

Hearing helps us to remain aware of our surroundings, communicate with others or enjoy certain art forms. Sometimes, however, it happens that our ears start to fail, or cause other problems that affect our quality of life. It is therefore worth being aware of what affects our ears.
If you decide to participate, you will receive:
The ears are a complex organ, made up of three parts: the outer ear, which we see in the form of the auricle, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each of these parts has a concrete function, vital to the proper working of the sense of hearing. The outer ear, especially the ear shell, collects and concentrates the sound. The middle ear intensifies the collected vibrations and the inner ear translates them into electrical impulses. These are then interpreted by our brain, so that we are able to understand the vibrations picked up by our ear and assign meaning to them.
The inner part of the ear also has an additional function. The finder placed in it is the tool by which our body orientates itself in space in addition to visual cues. This small pouch is filled with liquid and covered on the inside with small hair. Sensing their movement, our brain receives information about where our head is located in relation to the earth's surface.
Like many other organs, our ears also have their own protection mechanisms and safeguards. In this particular case, we are talking about earwax. Although it is not the most pleasant topic of conversation, it performs an incredibly important function. Wax removes minor dirt, protects against damage and also moistens our ear canal.
However, wax can also be a source of problems. If our ear starts to produce too much of it, our ear can become partially or even completely blocked. The consequences are unpleasant, as they can include pain, dizziness, and hearing problems.
Some hearing problems can occur during our lifetime due to a number of factors. Some of them depend on us. The way we clean the ears, for example, can contribute to mechanical damage to the ear. On the other hand, taking care of our ears and training our hearing helps us stay fit longer.
On the other hand, some changes or problems are independent of our choices. Some people lose their hearing as a result of an accident, or are born with a hindered or completely non-functioning sense of hearing. Hearing problems are not the end of the world, however. The availability of tools and facilities to improve the comfort of life is growing every year.
Ear problems can manifest themselves in many ways, such as poorer hearing, discomfort, or even pain or dizziness. For many people, the first reaction may be to reach for cotton buds, but this may not be the best solution if there is excess ear wax. Rough cotton and a hard stick can not only mechanically damage the eardrum membrane, but worsen the problem by pushing the wax even further.
