Q-Tips vs Comb for Ear Hair

Q-tips or cotton buds are undoubtedly effective in wiping off the dirt and moist in the external surface of the ear. Although, almost everyone use them for cleaning the inner portions of the ears, what most of us do not know is this could be pretty harmful.

Earwax is produced to lubricate and protect the ears, but every now and again, it attracts dirt. A cotton bud may look as if it is the right tool to brush off all the gunk that was stuck into the earwax but in truth, it only pushes the earwax further into the ear canal because it was not designed for earwax removal.

Another thing to be worried about is ear hair. Most of us do not know that ear hair interferes with the functions of the ear. The travel of sound waves could sometimes get disrupted because of tangled and out-of-place ear hair. And no, don’t even think of cutting or shaving down the ear hair since this might cause irritations and sensitivity in hearing since the ear hair was designed to filter our environmental pathogens that includes fungus and germs.

Therefore, the best way to unravel the stubborn ear hair and occasionally scoop out the dirty earwax is by the use of a COMB FOR EAR HAIR.
