New Delhi, 19 September (IANS). There is a deep connection between the nose and the ear as the two are connected through the Eustasian tube among themselves. This tube works to maintain the balance of moisture and pressure between the nose and the ear. If the nose remains more dry, it can also affect the ability to listen directly.
There are many reasons for drying nose. The main among them are long-term dust, smoke and pollution, lack of moisture in winter or summer, allergies or colds, fungal and bacterial infections, excessive use of some drugs, lack of moisture in the body due to aging and lack of fluids in the body. Apart from this, diseases like diabetes or autoimmune disease can also increase the problem of nasal drying.
The direct effect of drying the nose can lead to the Eustacean tube block. This worsens the air balance in the middle part of the ear and may cause pressure or pain in the ears. Many times fluids also start accumulating inside the ear, causing difficulties in infection, ears flowing or hearing. In this case, a person may complain of whistle -like voices, dizziness or temporary deafness in the ear.
It is necessary to maintain moisture to prevent dry nose. For this, taking steam, using saline water, drinking enough water throughout the day and applying pure ghee or sesame oil on the nose is beneficial.
Ayurveda is mentioned of molecule oil and conspiracy oil, which not only maintains moisture in the nose but also protects against problems like allergies. At the same time, wearing masks and dust should be protected while going to crowded or polluted areas.
If the listening ability to hear is being affected due to dry nose or there is constant pressure and pain in the ear, then the ENT specialist should be checked immediately. For this, tests like audiometry or endoscopy can be done. This problem can be increased and serious if not treated on time.
Therefore, it is very important to understand that drying of the nose is not only the discomfort of breathing, but it can also be a sign of danger for your ears and hearing ability. It can be easily avoided by taking caution and treatment at the right time.
