Most people have used Q-tips to clean their ears for years, but what seems like a simple cleaning habit may actually push earwax deeper into the ear canal instead of removing it. In this video, Dr. Alan Mandell explains what can happen when wax becomes impacted near the eardrum, how it may affect hearing, ringing in the ears, dizziness, irritation, and infection risk, and why even the warning on the Q-tip box says not to insert the swab into the ear canal. You’ll also learn how your ears are designed to naturally move wax outward and the safer way to clean only the outer portion of the ear. If you’ve been using cotton swabs inside your ears, this is important information you’ll want to know and share with your family and friends. If you have persistent ear pain, hearing changes, drainage, dizziness, or other ear problems, always follow up with a qualified healthcare professional.
