MYTH BUSTED! Cleaning your ears with cotton buds is NOT safe!
It's a habit many of us have, but those little cotton swabs are actually doing more harm than good to your ears. Don't fall for the myth!
Here's the FACTS you need to know:
❌ They Push Wax Deeper: Instead of cleaning, cotton buds shove earwax further into the ear canal, causing painful blockages and hearing loss.
❌ They Can Injure the Eardrum: A simple slip can seriously damage or even rupture your delicate eardrum.
✅ Earwax Protects Your Ear Naturally: Earwax is your body’s natural defense mechanism, trapping dust and bacteria. Your ear is designed to clean itself!
If you feel you have blocked ears, do not attempt to clean them at home. Consult an expert.
