Ear buds are very unscientific method of cleaning the ear. Our ear is a sophisticated self cleansing organ and most of the times routine cleaning is not necessary. If at all there is impacted wax it needs to be removed by ENT specialist under vision either by suctioning or syringing
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for more information about problem associated with ear bud usage
