We need the picture of Zero with the handkerchief in both ears scrubbing his tiny brain!

I would get ear infections if I didn’t twirl a cotton swab deep in the ears to soak up moisture after showering.

Well goodness, you are not supposed to jam then all the way down in there as hard as you can! OK, here’s an idea. Idiots should not clean out their own ears...

I wish that there were improvements in dealing with tinnitus. To hear a ding-ding-ding constantly is nerve-whacking.

DETROIT – A study by Henry Ford Hospital shows a direct association between cotton swab use and ruptured eardrum.

And the cost of that study was how much? Doctors have been warning against Q-tips for at least 30 years........

Here is an idea, don’t punch through your eardrum with Q Tips.

“But if the cotton swab is pushed too far in the ear canal, it can cause serious damage, including ruptured eardrum, also known as tympanic membrane perforations (TMP).”

Well duh! What are these people doing, driving the swab in with a hammer? Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me. I’ve seen no less than three people over the years at work go to the hospital after pushing an ear plug into the ear canal.

The use of a Q-Tip has waxed stronger over the last few years.

The use of Q-Tips should be drummed out of the practice of ear cleaning.

Soap, glycerin, and a small squirt bottle or bulb are the only way to clean your ears.

For heaven’s sake..

It’s a cotton swap, not a drill bit. Don’t do it till it hurts.
