To help CPR practitioners to remember the order of the procedural steps, the acronym ABC was taught to stand for Airway, Breathing, Circulation. In 2010, the order of the steps was changed to Circulation, Airway, Breathing, so the acronym is now CAB.
Dry Skin. When your ears donât produce the right amount of ear wax, the skin in your ear canal is unprotected. This can lead to dry skin in your ear canal. Dry skin can be VERY itchy, especially if/when it starts to flake. A lack of ear wax may be the reason you have an itchy inner ear. Otitis media and otitis externa (swimmerâs ear) are two common ear infections that may be the cause of your itchy ears.
How Does an Ear Infection Cause Hearing Loss? An ear infection affects important parts of the ear that help us hear. Sounds around us are collected by the outer ear. Sound then travels to the middle ear, which has three tiny bones and is filled with air. After that, sound moves on to the inner ear. The inner ear is where sounds are turned into electrical signals and sent to the brain. An ear infection affects the whole ear, but especially the middle and inner ear. Hearing is affected because sound cannot get through an ear that is filled with fluid.
