If you cannot hear in your ears after bathing, consider that it may be related to disorders such as fluid buildup in the ear canal, cerumen expansion, or otitis externa, and that you need to treat it by clearing the fluid and cerumen from the ear canal. 1. After taking a bath, if water soaks into the ear and blocks the eardrum inadvertently, it may cause hearing loss and other phenomena. Symptoms can be improved by turning the affected person face down and gently pulling on the ear to remove the residual watery fluid from the ear. 3. Cerumen is a secretion from the ceruminous glands of the skin in the ear canal that accumulates in the ear canal. When water gets into the ear, it will soak the cerumen and cause hearing loss, and the cerumen needs to be cleaned out of the ear in time. 3. When the unclean water from the ear bath enters the ear, it may induce otitis externa, causing the skin of the ear canal to swell and ooze out, triggering earache and even hearing loss, which needs to be treated with drugs such as ofloxacin ear drops to fight infection. After taking a bath, you can’t hear your ears, so you need to consult an ENT doctor to clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions.
