La cera del o\u00eddo desempe\u00f1a un papel importante como barrera para impedir que los residuos, el polvo y las bacterias penetren profundamente en el canal auditivo y el t\u00edmpano. Tambi\u00e9n previene la inflamaci\u00f3n y las infecciones.<\/p>\n

\u201cMucha gente cree en la idea err\u00f3nea de que el cerumen (cera de los o\u00eddos) es sucio, cuando en realidad es una parte muy importante para mantener los o\u00eddos sanos\u201d, dijo el Dr. Nikolaus Sneshkoff, <\/a>otorrinolaring\u00f3logo certificado por la junta de especialistas y miembro del equipo m\u00e9dico de UCHealth Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic<\/a> en Steamboat Springs. \u201cLa cera es normal. La cera es algo saludable. La cera debe estar ah\u00ed\u201d.<\/p>\n

La cera de los o\u00eddos es una barrera de protecci\u00f3n natural<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Si bien el cerumen es el guardi\u00e1n perfecto del cuerpo para que los g\u00e9rmenes entren en el o\u00eddo, algunas personas tienen como misi\u00f3n eliminarlo. El viejo dicho: \u201cNo se ponga nada m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o que el codo en la oreja\u201d es en realidad correcto cuando se trata de mantener sus o\u00eddos sanos.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlgunas personas se vuelven tan adictas a los hisopos de algod\u00f3n y a tratar de mantener sus o\u00eddos impecablemente limpios cuando, en realidad, est\u00e1n haciendo m\u00e1s da\u00f1o que bien”, dijo Sneshkoff. “El uso de hisopos de algod\u00f3n puede empujar la cera hacia el interior del canal auditivo, hacia el t\u00edmpano\u201d.<\/p>\n

Algunas personas pueden tener una producci\u00f3n excesiva de cerumen, lo que puede ser una molestia, mientras que para otras puede causar problemas m\u00e1s graves. Por lo general, un sonido amortiguado en el o\u00eddo o una audici\u00f3n disminuida son signos reveladores de que su o\u00eddo necesita alguna valoraci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de las personas que atendemos con cerumen impactado son adultos mayores, pero vemos algunos pacientes m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes que simplemente son gen\u00e9ticamente propensos a padecerlo”, dijo Sneshkoff. “Los aud\u00edfonos complican las cosas porque pueden empujar la cera m\u00e1s profundamente en el canal\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ya sea causado por canales auditivos estrechos, una lesi\u00f3n o una producci\u00f3n excesiva de cera, el alivio suele ser f\u00e1cil de obtener.<\/p>\n

Remedios para tratar la sobreproducci\u00f3n de cera<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Si usted o alguien bajo su cuidado presenta un exceso de cerumen, Sneshkoff recomienda el uso ocasional de los siguientes remedios seguros de venta libre:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Kits de lavado de o\u00eddos.<\/li>\n
  • Una soluci\u00f3n al 50\/50 de agua y per\u00f3xido de hidr\u00f3geno, aplicada en los o\u00eddos una vez a la semana.<\/li>\n
  • Las personas adultas mayores pueden beneficiarse de unas pocas gotas de aceite mineral, una o dos veces por semana, para ayudar a lubricar la cera seca y\/o descamada.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Si estas medidas no resultan \u00fatiles, Sneshkoff sugiere acudir a un m\u00e9dico de atenci\u00f3n primaria para que realice un lavado de o\u00eddo. Si los pacientes requieren asistencia adicional o necesitan tratamientos m\u00e1s frecuentes o programados, un especialista en o\u00eddo, nariz y garganta (otorrinolaring\u00f3logo) puede llevar a cabo una limpieza especializada del o\u00eddo mediante un procedimiento de limpieza microsc\u00f3pica.<\/p>\n

    Un dispositivo que Sneshkoff desaconseja es la ”vela para los o\u00eddos”, la cual consiste en introducir en el o\u00eddo una vela hueca y encendida con el fin de extraer el cerumen.<\/p>\n

    \u201cRealmente no se deber\u00eda introducir nada en el o\u00eddo, ya que el conducto auditivo es muy sensible\u201d, afirm\u00f3. \u201cMiles de a\u00f1os de evoluci\u00f3n han perfeccionado la capacidad de nuestro organismo para mantener los o\u00eddos limpios; para la mayor\u00eda de las personas, la mejor manera de cuidarlos es simplemente dejarlos tranquilos\u201d.<\/p>\n
