How do you clean your ears? Like many other people, you probably use cotton swabs.
How exactly do you use this device?
Are you inserting into the external auditory canal? Know: you are making a very serious mistake!
How not to use cotton swabs
It turns out that these personal hygiene items can only be used to clean the outer part of the auricle.
The device must not be inserted into the external auditory canal.
By the way, the relevant information is probably also on the product packaging: if you look carefully, you will most likely find a corresponding warning label or icon.
By inserting a cotton swab into the ear canal, a person does not free it from earwax, but, on the contrary, moves it even deeper.
As a result, the mass becomes denser. The risk of earwax plug formation increases.
How to clean your ears
You need to do the following: soap your hands, carefully insert your little finger into the external auditory canal and begin to very carefully rotate your finger.
Next, you should rinse the soaped ear with water.
The cleaned auricle should be dried with a towel.
