" thought I was cleaning my ears…”
A patient attended with reduced hearing in one ear.
The cause wasn’t wax.
It was a cotton bud tip completely blocking the ear canal.
Once safely removed using specialist instruments, their hearing improved immediately.
Cotton buds don’t clean your ears — they often push wax deeper and can even break off inside the ear.
Your ears are self-cleaning.
