Are cotton buds great for cleaning the inner part of the ears?
If you insert gently with cotton bud it is fine. Don’t overdo cleaning your ears. You may end up with pain in ears. If they are inserted deep in ear, they can cause ear infection, tearing of eardrum,thus can make you deaf also. Don’t press or put pressure otherwise cotton may get struck in ears.
The medical profession do not recommend sticking anything into the ear canal, it only pushes the dirts you’re trying to remove inside. Cotton buds used after a bath move the ear wax and water further into the ear causing infection in some cases and pushing the ear wax into the ear can compress against the ear drum making sound transmission harder to the inner ear.
