The Definitive Guide to Ear Health

As the old saying goes, ‘you should never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear’. It sounds reasonable until you consider the size of cotton buds, biros, Earpieces and pinkie fingers. If you think about it, there are a lot of things we put into our ears - and all of them, by default, are smaller than our elbows. ...But those things are all safe, right? I mean, how much damage could the corner of a towel really do? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot. In fact, most earwax blockages actually result from the improper use of a simple cotton bud. That got your attention, didn’t it? Cotton buds are not actually designed to go inside your ear canal (or anybody else’s for that matter – this isn’t limited just to you). More often than not, shoving a cotton bud into your ear simply compacts the wax that’s already in there. Making a kind of, I don’t know, SUPER WAX, which then needs to be removed by professionals. So, if you are, shall we say, ‘delving too deeply into the unknown’, the wax you are trying to get OUT of your ears can slide even further INTO your ears. Pushing against the tide of migrating cells, where it all compacts and accumulates like, um, a great big ball of ear wax (I didn’t have a good simile there. Sorry). Anyway, that’s how regular use of cotton buds and other ear-bound items can actually have a fairly bad effect on the health of your ears Even going as far as to effect the quality of your hearing. So you see, there is a lot of truth to that old saying about elbows and ears!
