Dangers of removing ear wax yourself

Ear wax, or cerumen, is a natural substance produced by the body to protect and clean the ears. While it usually clears itself naturally, some people experience excessive build-up, leading to discomfort, hearing loss, and even infections. In such cases, professional ear wax removal is the safest and most effective solution.
Why You Should Avoid DIY Methods
Many people attempt to remove ear wax at home using cotton buds, ear candles, or other DIY methods. However, these approaches often do more harm than good:
Cotton buds: Instead of removing wax, they push it deeper into the ear canal, potentially causing blockages and impaction.
Ear candles: There is no scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness, and they pose a risk of burns and injuries.
Oil drops: While olive oil or hydrogen peroxide can help soften wax, they don't always clear the blockage entirely and may require professional intervention.
