Are cotton buds dangerous?
The regular use of cotton buds in the ear canal may actually push earwax back into the external auditory canal, which can encourage the development of wax plugs and associated disorders. Problems that may be associated with the use of cotton buds in the ear include: external otitis, chronic earwax plugs, eczema, fungal infections, accidental perforation of the tympanic membrane (eardrum), itching and inflammation of the external auditory canal. AUDICLEAN has been designed to work with your body’s natural cleansing process to gently flush wax from the ear instead of pushing it further into the canal.
