I wouldn't be wrong if I say that we are all guilty of putting things in ears. From cotton buds to cotton wools to biro cover. Some even go as far as putting a feather. All in an attempt to clean the ears. Well, today, I'm here to burst your bubble.
Ear wax is not dirt.
Doing all that is in fact harmful to your ears. That gif is what happens when you try to clean your ears by yourself using a cotton bud. You may think you're removing the wax but you're actually pushing it in. Continuous insertion of these things into the ears will keep pushing the wax in till it becomes too much that it begins to block the ears. And this in itself is another huge problem. It could lead to ear infections. And of course the cost of going to the hospital and having it flushed out.
Leave your ears alone.
The wax is there to protect your inner ear and trap dirt. Removing it leaves your ears dry and prone to infections.
They that have ears should hear. Don't say I didn't do anything for you.
