However, if you suffer from certain diseases, an additional infection may occur.

The same threat exists if there is damage to the skin of the external auditory canal.

According to otolaryngologists, conditions for the appearance of infection may be eczema, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis, diabetes.

In addition, such conditions also include skin damage.

Those that are caused by scratching or attempts to remove earwax with cotton swabs.

Such conditions, doctors warn, create microtraumas.

It is through them that an infection from the surface of headphones or fingers can penetrate inside.

In order not to expose yourself to danger and protect yourself from infection, experts have a simple but effective recommendation.

They advise treating headphones with antiseptics on a regular basis.
