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!
