Ear Hair Growth

While not often a topic of conversation, and not something many like to hear about, ear hair growth is a genuine problem for many men. Believed by some to be an inherited trait, evidence is lacking to support this theory. Ear hair does have a function, but when it noticeably grows, some prefer to take action.

Significance

Ear hair screens and protects the body from harmful pollutants. As men age and their hormones fluctuate, ear hair growth can increase.

Considerations

The question on the mind of many men is how to get rid of ear hair. Shaving, ear razors, tweezers, lasers, and hair removers are ways to remove, trim, and clean up ear hair.

Effects

It is important to keep ears clean. Excess hair can cause earwax to get caught in follicles resulting in temporary hearing loss. Wiping outer ears with a warm and damp cloth helps.

Precaution

Every precaution must be taken when removing ear hair. Care and caution is necessary when tending to ear hair to prevent cuts, rashes, or damage that can lead to hearing loss.

Insight

Ear hair growth happens to most men. It can easily and successfully be removed. Hair today and gone tomorrow.
