Incorrect ear care leads to very serious consequences. Doctors advise not to use cotton swabs and other folk remedies under any circumstances! No less harmful to the ear canal are hydrogen peroxide, saline, vinegar, vegetable oil, sodium carbonate. Sophisticated cleaning methods lead to damage to the inner ear and brain, which in turn can be fatal.
Little is said about this, but in Italy last year 4 cases of death were recorded due to incorrect ear hygiene. The victims did not go to the doctor despite having inner ear pain, so the infection also spread to the brain.
Less dangerous are perforation of the eardrum and hearing loss, which can only be recovered by surgery. Incorrect concentration of vinegar can lead to burns of the middle and inner ear, oily solutions, on the contrary, clog the canal and lead to the formation of earwax plugs.

Not long ago there was another tragic accident involving cotton swabs. Due to incorrect cleaning of her ear, the woman ended up in hospital and almost lost her hearing, she was unable to recover it completely. We contacted the victim and found out all the details of what happened.
— Hello! How did it happen? Have you had ear problems before?
Good morning. I have never had any problems, I have never gone to the ENT specialist. I have always tried to keep my ears clean, using cotton swabs. At the time I thought they were useful, but then I discovered that, on the contrary, they are harmful to your health. After such a cleaning, I noticed itching in the ear and a slight deterioration in hearing, I had no time to go to the doctor. And then I could hardly feel anything... in short, hell began for me.
—Did you go to hospital? What did they tell you?
I went to the ENT specialist and discovered that my case wasn't the only one. I brought an infection during the cleaning, as a result of which my inner ear became inflamed and my hearing disappeared. I was prescribed a huge number of antibiotics, washings, and after 2 weeks even an operation. All this time I didn't feel anything, I had to take a long sick leave at work. I was very scared because I was afraid that my hearing would never come back.
— What happened next? Was the surgery successful?
Yes, but not completely... I had new complications, the antibiotics didn't work. I had to postpone the surgery. Thank God everything went well, but I haven't recovered my hearing 100 percent, now I wear a hearing aid. I was forced to change jobs due to unsuitability.
— What will you advise readers to avoid such a situation?
While I was in the hospital, my roommate told me that you can clean your ears with a special device. It's called LED Ear Wax Remover . It is a stick with a special silicone nozzle that removes earwax from the ear without damaging the eardrum. All doctors are against folk remedies and cotton swabs, because they were created for other uses, but not for cleaning the ears. Only for some reason they don't say it publicly, you'll only know when you find yourself in the hospital with a perforated eardrum.
This interview should become an example for those who still use cotton swabs to clean their ears. Don't put yourself in danger, buy special devices, as there are products approved by doctors. We publish a link on the official website of the company producing LED Ear Wax Remover. Good health!

I will never use folk remedies and fingers to clean my ears again. It is truly better to buy a medical device than risk your health.

I also had ear infections due to incorrect cleaning, it's not as scary a disease as the one in the article, but it's not a pleasant thing either. Good thing there's LED Ear Wax Remover .
