right i have to clean my ears with cottonbuds like at least 4 times a day, they never have wax on them but i still have to do it, i dont know of its the feeling of it or what but i always make sure i do it, does anyone else do this or is it just me? x
It's very bad to clean your ears out every day, and you should never stick the q-tip in very far. Over cleaning with a q-tip can actually push wax FURTHER into your ear, causing a huge, disgusting plug of wax. If you clean your ears out a lot, and you have trouble hearing, this is probably the case. This happened to me, but after I had my ears irrigated at the doctor's I could hear so much better. Now I am more careful with q-tips.
Shouldn't do it. Ear wax is there to keep out bacteria that causes sickness. Yes clean them. Excessively? No
It is an addiction, I used to do this a lot and had loads of bad ear infections as a result. It feels good but is not a good idea.
My tip : get some that are really big that won't squeeze right in your ears and that will put you off. Worked for me. Only trouble then is you can end up rolling up toilet paper tissues and using them !
Go to a psychiatrist. This is clinically OCD and he/she will help you find an alternative coping mechanism because this is really unhealthy. You could puncture your eardrums.
if u keep on doing this more dirt will end up on ur ear drums cuz the wax is only der to stop any dirt or anything from damagin the ear drums
You may want to be careful with your ear cleaning, or you could damage your eardrums...just a little health advice.
its probably some kind of minor hygine related obsessive-compulsive disorder, nothing to worry about at all i get the same way but not with me ears but with washing my hands, if it gets worse like if you start gettin obsessive over other or more serious things go to see your local docter to make sure it doesnt become a large problem
Actually If You Were To Go To Your Doctors They Wouldn't Reccomend Excessive Cleaning Such As That. You Shouldn't Put Anything Smaller Than An Elbow In Your Ear!
