Why You Shouldn't Clean Your Ears

Do you clean inside of your ear with a cotton swab? Some experts say that people shouldn't clean the wax out of their ear. A natural process in human ears cleans out the wax without needing a cotton swab. Using a swab on the inside of your ear can cause wax to get backed up and accumulate inside rather than cleaning it out. Also, if the swab gets pushed in too far it can damage the eardrum.
