Probably you're a fan of cleaning your ears with Cotton buds. That feeling is awesome; you having your eyelids half shut, temporarily lost in oblivion, while having your senses been tickled. Well, that feeling is hazardous to your health.
Recent researches have come to help us understand that the body is one full system which works in full capacity and efficiency. When the body gets injured, it heals on its own accord. When something gets broken, sensory elements are secreted to help it get fixed. Same thing applies with our ears.
When the ear gets dirty, the most ideal thing to do is to get it cleaned (best with a soft tool like Cotton to ensure our drums do not get battered). Well, the ears do get cleaned..by itself. We don't need to assist the ear in doing its job, doing that only brings more harm.
This basically tells us that we need not bother ourselves doing the cleanup. Life is hard already..why make it harder?
