Silicone ear spoons are a common everyday item used to clean wax from the ears. However, many people have encountered such a problem when using silicone ear spoons: it is easy to break when digging. The problem is not only an inconvenience to people, it can also cause damage to the ears. So, why do silicone ear spoons break easily? How do we solve this problem?
First of all, we need to understand the material of the silicone ear scoop. Silica gel is a common plastic material with good heat resistance, cold resistance and corrosion resistance. However, the hardness of silica gel material is low and easy to deform. When we use the silicone earscoop, if the force is too large or the Angle of the earscoop is wrong, it is easy to cause the silicone earscoop to break.
Second, we need to understand the properties of earwax. Earwax is an oily substance with strong adhesion. When we use silicone ear scoop to clean earwax, if the contact area between the ear scoop and earwax is too small, it is easy to cause the ear scoop to break. In addition, if the earwax is too dry, it is also easy to cause the silicone ear scoop to break.
So, how do we solve this problem? First of all, we can choose to use a material made of higher hardness, such as metal ear spoon. The metal earspoon has a strong hardness and is not easy to break. However, the disadvantage of metal ear spoons is that they are heavier and less convenient to use.
Secondly, we can choose to use an earpick with a magnifying glass. The scoop helps us see the ear canal more clearly, thereby avoiding friction between the scoop and the wall of the ear canal. In addition, an earpick with a magnifying glass can also help us better clean out earwax and prevent earwax from becoming too dry.
Finally, we can choose to use some auxiliary tools, such as earwax softeners. Earwax softeners can help us soften earwax and make it easier to clean. To use earwax softener, we need to drop the softener into the ear canal and wait a few minutes for the wax to soften. After that, we use the earpick to clean the earwax, which can avoid the problem of the silicone earscoop breaking.
In short, the silicone ear scoop is easy to break when digging is a troubling problem. To solve this problem, we can choose to use an ear scoop made of a stiffer material, or use an ear scoop with a magnifying glass, and use auxiliary tools such as earwax softener. Through these methods, we can avoid the problem of silicone ear scoop breakage while cleaning earwax and protect our ear health.
