Avoid using cotton swabs for Ears
Cotton swabs damage your ears:
Every time you push a cotton swab into your ear, you not only introduce new germs into your ear, you also push some of the wax back into your ear. This is the old wax that is on its way out, but by pushing it back in you send all the dirt and germs trapped in that wax back into your ear. While this is bad enough, it gets much worse. Your eardrum is a thin membrane at the end of your ear canal that is extremely delicate. When you are enthusiastically digging for dirt in your ear you could accidentally pierce your eardrum and rupture it. The eardrum can rupture with even the slightest pressure of a cotton swab, causing you a lot of pain and possibly even loss of hearing. While ruptured eardrums do eventually heal, they take a while and are extremely painful.
Tip ::
Your ears clean themselves:
Unlike most of the other parts of your body, your ears don't need to be cleaned. The ear is actually a self-cleaning organ, so it takes care of itself. There is an old saying, which says that nothing smaller than your elbow should ever enter your ear, and doctors have confirmed that this is true. Apart from cotton swabs,
people put all kinds of things in their ears to clean them, like hair pins, keys, paper clips, pens and pencils. All of these can do severe damage to your ears.
