1. They can sometimes cause MORE problems (yes, MORE) as cotton swabs may push the blockage further down into the ear canal, risking even more damage to the ear.

2. Cotton swabs themselves can also be accidentally inserted too far into the ear canal and can compact wax further or puncture your eardrum.

3. It’s not just us audiologists. Physicians, those MD people everyone trusts so much, generally agree that cotton swabs are a bad idea for removing earwax and should only be used on the outer portions of your ear. You should never insert cotton swabs or any small object into your ear canal.
