ENT Doctors Debunk 11 Ear And Nose Myths | Debunked

Otolaryngologists Erich Voigt and Jacqueline Jones debunk 11 myths about the ear and nose. They talk about how to properly stop a nosebleed, clean your ears, and protect yourself from hearing loss. They also explain that earwax is good for your ears — it has antimicrobial properties that protect the insides of your ears. In fact, over-cleaning can cause swimmer's ear.

Voigt is the division director of general otolaryngology at NYU Langone Health. He's been treating pediatric and geriatric patients for over 20 years and performs head and neck surgery. You can learn more about his work here: https://nyulangone.org/doctors/1851315147/erich-p-voigt
