Is it normal to qtip your ears all the time

I do it all the time, on an average of 5 times a day. Sometimes it hurts especially when I swallow food. Like how swallowing something relives the pressure of your ears in an airplane.

Its like I'm addicted and it itches like crazy if I don't stick a Qtip in there. And it feels really good! I don't even have earwax anymore.

    A little earwax is good and you might have problems if you clean your ears too often because ultimately human ears were not made to be cleaned as much as 5 times a day (in my opinion). As long as you don't go in too deep you should be ok I guess.

    I dip my q-tips in alcohol and clean my ears with them.

  • Q-tips do nothing. As someone mentioned earlier, all they do is push the earwax back further in the ear.

  • Don't do it too often, the wax is there to protect your eardrums.

    Using them like that isn't a good idea because ear wax keeps getting pushed in.

  • I use qtips, but you do know that earwax practically eliminates itself? Also it works as a water repellant so you might want a little... But it is annoying when you can't hear for shit
