First and foremost:NEVER EVER AGAIN ATTEMPT TO CLEAN YOUR EAR CANALS EVEN USING COTTON BUDS! Remember that there are two important design features in your ears which forbid you from doing it.
1. Your ear canal skin gets sensory innervation from four different nerves. Every square millimeter of ear canal skin has 16 times the number of sensory nerve endings when compared to skin elsewhere. This means that even a gentle touch sends 16 times the signals causing sensory overload - Excruciating pain sensation! Equivalent to putting electric fencing to tell you DO NOT TOUCH!
2. Your little finger thickness is always at least 2mm thicker than diameter of ear canal....another NO ENTRY sign!
So if you feel your ears blocked or itchy or aching, please go to a professional - ENT Specialist to help you.
