Earplugs are special devices for the ears, which are designed to protect against extraneous sounds during sleep. In another way, they are called anti-noise inserts. However, it is very important to use earplugs correctly so as not to harm your he alth. This will be discussed further.

How noise affects human he alth

People have known for a long time that environmental sounds affect the body. However, some frequencies are capable of having a destructive effect on many living beings. Probably, it is for these reasons that mankind invents devices that help to avoid strong noise. These include earplugs.

In ancient times, the powerful sound of bells was used as a remedy for plague and other diseases.

Multiple studies by scientists have shown that every second inhabitant of the planet is constantly exposed to strong noise. Whether it's a huge metropolis or a small village. Because of this, the number of accidents and accidents on the roads is increasing. Since man is habitually incapable of timerespond to the sounds of addressing him or signals of danger.

Earplugs during sleep: good or bad

Very often, people use ear plugs during their night sleep in order to have a better rest, not paying attention to extraneous sounds.

So, doctors say that they can be used throughout the night. Modern noise protection devices are made of soft materials that do not put pressure on the ears, unlike earmuffs for shooting or swimming.

Before going to bed, doctors recommend inserting earplugs shallowly into the auricle. This is necessary in order not to injure the ear from the inside. There should also be a free edge through which you can easily remove the earplugs. There are times when a person uses cosmetic tweezers to remove earplugs. This indicates the incorrect use of this device.

It is very important to get them out of your ears after sleep. A vacuum is created in the ear while sleeping with earplugs.

Therefore, you need to gradually pull out the earplugs. With a sharp movement, the eardrum may be stretched, which will lead to injury. If you remove your earplugs in this way frequently, there is a risk of infection.

Daily use of earplugs

Often, people who are constantly in noise cannot imagine their sleep without earplugs. With them, sleep is much calmer and better. But howDoes continued use affect he alth?

Important! Sleeping in earplugs every day is contraindicated for absolutely everyone! Small particles of dust, keratinized skin come out of the auricle along with sulfur. But her permanently closed ears during sleep interfere with this. Clearing tends to be most intense at night.

Scientists have found that the daily use of earplugs in the ears can lead to the development of bacteria. A particularly beneficial environment for them is a warm place under cotton or PVC liners. Rigid materials tend to be less "helpful" for the development and reproduction of pathogenic bacteria.

How to reduce the risk of injuring your ears

To protect yourself as much as possible from infection and, first of all, damage to the ear from the inside, you need to follow some rules:

1. After each use, protective earmuffs or ear plugs should be thoroughly washed (if the material from which they are made allows it). Otherwise, you can simply wipe the earbuds with alcohol.
2. Do not use earplugs if they are wet. It is better to wipe them with a towel and only then insert them into the auricles. Otherwise, there is a risk of creating a favorable environment for bacteria.
3. Also, don't use earplugs immediately after a shower, for the same reasons that you shouldn't put wet earplugs in your ear.

The absolute benefit of earplugs

She, as it turns out, definitely is. We list the useful properties of earplugs (for aircraft in particular) and other similarearbuds:

1. Protection against environmental noise. This is especially important for those who are often on the road, flying by plane. Also, earplugs can save when neighbors often make repairs and interfere with a good rest. For office workers, earplugs will help you concentrate on the right thing without being distracted by the rigmarole around.



2. High-quality rest is one of the criteria for good human he alth. Earplugs in this case serve as an indispensable assistant in protecting against extraneous noise that interferes with sleep. According to scientists, sleep in complete silence is much better and more fulfilling.
3. Protect your ear from powerful sounds that can injure your eardrum. So, earplugs are used by musicians, builders and those who often fly in an airplane.

How to create perfect silence at home

Good rest is the key to good he alth. The use of earplugs in this case, of course, can be a panacea. But you can enhance the effect of these devices by creating the most comfortable conditions for sleeping at home. To do this, you need to tightly close all kinds of cracks. Often they are found on wooden windows. Such defects can be eliminated with building foam, or it is much better to replace the windows with plastic ones with sound insulation.

Use noisy household appliances during the day. At night, any noise interferes with quality sleep, which will further affect he alth. It is also important not to fall asleep at the computer or TV. The phone must be turned off or put on silent mode.
