Never put anything smaller than your elbow in
your ear! Wax is not formed in the deep part of the ear canal near the eardrum,
but only in the outer part of the canal. So when a patient has wax pushed up against
the eardrum, it is often because he has been probing his ear with such things as
cotton-tipped swabs (such as Q-Tips), bobby pins, or twisted napkin corners. Such
objects only serve as ramrods to push the wax in deeper. Also, the skin of the ear
canal and the eardrum is very thin, fragile and easily injured. The ear canal is
more prone to infection after it has been whipped clean of the "good" coating type
wax. In addition, we have seen many perforated eardrums as a result of these efforts.
