are cotten ear buds bad for your ears?

Question:

Answers:
Should only be used on outer area of ear, if at all.
If you push them too far in they irritate the inner ear causing more wax to be produced & can cause inflammation.
If you need your ears clearing see your practitioner.
To sum up, don't use them, a flannel is better and won't penetrate too far in to the ear.

Other Answers:
no but dont put them too far as can damage your eardrums

As my Mother said.'Don't put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow'.
No, I never understood it either.

Yes, I have never used them but I have used my finger to clean them but that is also bad apparently
