OK, just for those that don’t realize this, this is a joke.
You don’t want to stick a q-tip up your ear canal because it can pile up ear wax and create a big pile and close it off to hearing… also making natural processes of removing ear wax not work. In extreme cases damage your hearing.
You can use an ear wax softener and a warm shower or have your doctor use a warm ear wax removal tool. I guess there are some on the market like a water pick. But be careful, you are playing with a very delicate and possibly irreparable sensor.
