Per my ear specialist: Just never use q-tips. At least not for your ears. There's actually a saying about never putting something smaller than your elbow in. Go to the doctor and get them cleaned out in the event they actually clog.

Although, I bet that would be expensive in the US. Hmm, I wonder what the play is down there.

Couldn't you use water yourself? It doesn't look that hard, although I don't know what I don't know there.

I probably could, I was just feeling a bit ornery. Hope you're having a good one out there!

Doctors use a special tube and basin with sterile water to unclog grave wax obstructions. Tweezers (also sterilized) for solid objects. Otherwise the average person should really just rub the outside with a towel to keep it dry. Very rarely people require special care, and the doctors will give precise instructions on what to do and how.

My ENT said to get a single tissue on my pinky finger and dry out the main ear space. Works super well after shower.

Interesting. Mine suggested packing it with vasoline and cotton to keep all water out. I actually just wore a shower cap kinda sideways.

Did you need surgery too?

[-] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thankfully no surgery, he just saw my ear canal and said "you shouldn't use qtips"

Yeah, that was the first thing mine looked for too. ENTs must dream about the things, haha.
