Is cleaning earbuds harmful for ears?

By MindStick

Yes, using cleaning earbuds to clean your ears can be harmful for various reasons:

Cleaning earbuds can force earwax into the ear canal, creating blockage and symptoms such as hearing loss, pain, and discomfort.

The harsh plastic of cleaning earbuds can harm the ear canal, perhaps causing irritation, infection, and even piercing of the eardrum.

If used in high-volume use it can cause permanent hearing loss due to damage to the inner ear hair cells.

Earwax naturally falls out of the ear and can be cleaned gently by cleaning the outer ear with a moist washcloth.

If earwax buildup or infection concerns persist, consult a doctor for safe removal and treatment.
