It doesn't but you may develop swimmer's ear. As for putting cotton in...that is only going to increase the chance of bacteria grownig.

Other Answers:
You're kidding, right? I LOVE getting a stream of water to shoot up against my tympanic membrane. It cleans out the wax and just FEELS good. The water drains out easily enough if you just c0ck your head to one side. Afterwards, just use a cotton swab to dry the canal. No biggie.
