This hygiene product can be found in any store.

But at the same time, many people also use them to clean their ears. But this is still considered a bad idea, if you do not take into account some nuances.

In most cases, there is no need to remove earwax because the ears are self-cleaning.

But of course, sometimes people can suffer from its accumulation, which can lead to additional hearing problems.

But even in this case, you cannot use cotton swabs to clean your ears.
