Not only is it ineffective (it pushes wax into the ear instead of pulling it out), but it can also damage your ear in more ways than one.<\/p>\n<p>Below are three reasons you must desist from this act:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. YOU CAN BREAK THE AUDITORY OSSICLE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>* ossicle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>noun<\/em>\u00a0| os\u00b7si\u00b7cle\u00a0\\\u02c8\u00e4-si-k\u0259l\\<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a small bone or bony structure (as the malleus, incus, or stapes)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The malleus, incus, and stapes each belong to the auditory ossicle. Simply put: together, these 3 bones make up the small bony structure that lies right behind your ear canal. Moral of the story &#8212; the bones behind the ear drum are the\u00a0<em>smallest<\/em>\u00a0bones in your entire body, and simply pushing on them with a cotton swab can break them! This can lead\u00a0to dramatic effects&#8230; even hearing loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Again, please refrain.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0THE COTTON SWAB DOESN&#8217;T ACTUALLY REMOVE EARWAX<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/info.earwaxmd.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/bubble-burst.jpg?t=1518801373874&amp;width=495&amp;height=285&amp;name=bubble-burst.jpg\" alt=\"bubble-burst.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sorry to burst your bubble, but the cotton swab does not actually remove earwax from the ear canal. It is a completely ineffective method for earwax removal.\u00a0Cotton swabs actually push the wax further into the ear canal, making the problem worse.<\/p>\n<p>The main point &#8212; These guys cause more harm than good, and can\u2019t be trusted.<\/p>\n<p>3.<strong> HEARING\u00a0<\/strong><strong>LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The inner ear controls your hearing and balance.<\/p>\n<p>By pushing against the ear drum with a cotton swab, you risk causing hearing and balance complications. The eardrum is very sensitive and is easily reached by using a cotton swab.<\/p>\n<p>The problem? Too much pressure can cause a puncture as mentioned before, but can also lead to conductive hearing loss.<\/p>\n<p>source: http:\/\/info.earwaxmd.com\/blog\/avoid-cleaning-the-ear-with-a-cotton-swab<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chances are, we\u2019re all guilty of the notorious cotton-swab-clean, attempting to remove unwanted earwax or simply dry the ear canal.
