Many people like to clean out the wax in their ears by using cotton swabs or ear buds, and while that gives a really good feeling, doctors say it is not advisable to use them as they cause more harm than good on the long run. According to the ENT Specialists in India, the wax in our ears called Cerumen is responsible for keeping out infections from our ears and also to keep it moisturized.
Also using earbuds may further push the ear wax in deeper or even rupture the ear drums and increase the likelihood of bacterial infections. As a matter of fact, we should avoid putting anything in our ears – keys, pens, even our fingers. If you must use an earbud, use it for cleaning dirt from the outer ear.
The proper way to clean your ears is to use a damp towel on the outside, the ear is a self-cleaning surface so dirt and anything else on the inside will fall out on its own. You can also use eardrops that can soften the wax and make them easy to flow out. Or you may decide to use warm water or saline solution from a syringe to rinse out your ears.
If you notice that the wax is clogging up your ears, then you should visit a doctor and let the experts do the cleaning, where they may remove it using a suction tool.
