How to clean earwax safely
Earwax naturally protects your ears but can cause blockage and hearing issues if excessive. Avoid inserting fingers, sharp objects, or cotton swabs, as these can cause injury and push wax deeper. Safe methods include letting the ear clean itself, using ear drops or oil to soften wax, cleaning only the outer ear, or seeking professional removal by a specialist.
