    Just a habit. I do it sometimes, too, especially after a shower if shampoo is still in there. Go at it with a q-tip or cotton ball until it's gone. Does feel good. Used to stick things in my ears, too, sometimes until drawing blood. First time was an accident, though. Had a gnat fly into my ear, and went crazy trying to get it out. Ended up jabbing and poking so hard that saw blood on the end of the q-tip. Got the gnat, so was fine.

    Really dangerous for your ears, I suggest you do whatever it takes to stop and find a new habit
