Earwax serves a purpose by keeping dirt and other irritants from entering your ear canal. While you may be tempted to use cotton swabs to clean your ears, it is not recommended. Cotton swabs can actually push earwax deep into your ear canal. Natural jaw movements such as chewing and talking will typically move excess wax out of your ear naturally.*
Clean the outsides of your ears with a soft cloth, not a cotton swab. If you feel like you have a buildup of wax that is impeding your hearing, try an irrigation kit. Irrigation kits soften earwax and can be used at home or conducted by a physician.
