Certain everyday activities can increase the risk of developing otomycosis. Activities that expose the ears to moisture, like swimming, require careful attention to ear care afterward.
Extended use of earphones and hearing aids can contribute to a moist environment in the ear canal. Users should ensure these devices are clean and allow time for the ear canal to air out.
Improper ear cleaning techniques can damage the ear canal and increase infection risk. Educating on safe cleaning methods is vital in reducing otomycosis occurrences.
Balancing lifestyle choices with ear health awareness is key. Individuals should be mindful of activities that could predispose them to otomycosis and take appropriate preventive measures. (7)
