Stop Using Cotton Buds to Clean Your Ears!

Using cotton buds may feel satisfying, but it can actually do more harm than good:
⚠️ Pushes wax deeper
⚠️ Increases risk of eardrum perforation
⚠️ Can cause infections or injury
👂 Your ears are self-cleaning—no need to poke inside!

If you have a wax problem, see an ENT specialist.

Protect your ears. Skip the cotton buds!

🩺 As an ENT, I always emphasize the importance of ear health, and this message from the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (PSO-HNS), perfectly highlights how to protect your delicate eardrums!

Your eardrums are delicate—protect them with simple habits:
✅ Don’t insert anything into your ears
✅ Avoid loud noises; wear ear protection
✅ Keep ears dry after swimming or bathing
✅ Consult an ENT Specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment

Healthy ears = better hearing. Protect them daily!
Your hearing is precious!
