Are Itching Ears Driving You Crazy?
Believe it or not, hearing and ear specialists believe the new rash of itching, troubled ears is caused by over cleaning.
By over using cotton swabs as well as over-the-counter ear solutions that contain harsh drying ingredients like alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and mineral oil, people both disturb the ear canal wall and dry out its delicate tissues. Your ear canal tissue is more sensitive than regular skin because it has only three layers. Regular skin contains seven layers. This is why the ear canal is more easily disturbed and damaged.
Healthy ears are self-cleaning. How this self-cleaning process works is tied to a little known substance in ear canal tissue called keratin. An important protein, keratin shields your ear canal from the growth of bacteria, fungus, yeast and other parasites. Keratin helps maintain your ear’s pH environment and mixes both ceruminous and sebaceous secretions into what we call “earwax.” It allows living cells to grow beneath it. These cells grow outward from the top of the eardrum (or tympanic membrane) to the opening of the ear canal.
This gentle growth pattern moves debris out of the ear canal, thus “self cleaning” the ear. Healthy ears, therefore, are not in need of mechanical “cleaning” per se, unless of course, one gets impacted wax. Actually, over cleaning can start an “unhealthy” cycle for ears.
Recently a new product called MiraCell has been introduced for ear health. MiraCell is an all-natural, safe, mildly antibacterial, antifungal and anti-yeast solution, which comforts itching ears immediately, when dropped into the ear canal.
People plagued by itching ears are choosing MiraCell over other formulas because it immediately relieves the itch. Continued use of MiraCell promotes healthy, trouble free ears gently and safely. Patients and hearing professionals alike say MiraCell is their most useful ear product. Soothing, it lubricates their ears without harsh drying effects.

Soothing, Safe Ear Support from MiraCell
Max Sanley Chartrand, UHS Director/Research and Professional Training, Has Found A "Must Have" Product For All Hearing Aid Users
Max Sanley Chartrand reports that MiraCell, a blend of highly concentrated natural plant extracts, can effectively replace Oto-Eze and Eargene plus a host of other products. He notes that some make fair lubricants, but offer no anti-bacterial or tissue-friendly properties. Others are harsh to the tissue, can cause elicit lymphatic reflex (swelling) and also feed yeasts and fungi that often harbor in the disturbed ear canal.

Good Ear Care Rules to Follow
Max Sanley Chartrand
Never insert Q-tips more than 1/3 into the ear canal. Never scrape the sides of the ear canal with Q-tips Avoid using boric acid, hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid solutions in your ears as much as possible. Ask for a video otoscopy exam by your doctor or healthcare professional periodically. To get water out of the ear, simply pull back and downward on the outer ear (pinna) (rather than use Q-tips.) Use MiraCell botanical solution to prepare ears for new hearing aids, After surgery or after ear was has been removed. Use MiraCell to soften earwax before removal. Maintain ears by using MiraCell once per week (at night) if you swim, wear hearing aids or change altitudes often.
