[QUOTE="buddy, post: 493253, member: 12886"] NOT saying I dont ever use Q tips but it is true, there are horror stories and lots of just not nice stories with Q tips. they are really only to be used on the external ear, not in the canal at all. Too many things can happen. Can get too close to the ear drum and puncture it. Or the wax is connected to the ear drum and when you pull it out it also can pull the eardrum and rip it. Some times you scratch and irritate the skin around the outer ear canal and it can itch and cause infection. Some wax is needed to help clean out the ear canal and to keep it not dried out and itchy. Warm water, ear cleaning drops etc are better solutions. [/QUOTE]
