Q-Tips Are a NO NO…Best Way to Clean Your Ears! Dr. Mandell

I’m scared now I was just using skme

Why do old ears itch so much?

Why do old ears itch so much?

Thats why i turn it

Using warm water & soap when in the shower always feels cleaner than just a qtip. I don't use a qtip to get wax out I use it to dry any extra water That's in there that feels like it's pouring out, or it'll start a tickle that drives me insane. My mother got a qtip stuck in her ear after years of her telling me never sick anything smaller than my elbow in it. I said but my elbow won't fit in my ear. She'd look at me & say exactly. She had ear problems for years & never went to the doctor until she got that qtip stuck. She saw him once after years & years of on again off again ear drainage. He told her she had a yeast infection (makes sense she'd put sum liquid in her ear then a cotton ball to keep it there making me environment even wetter and darker which they love). He squirted what looked like baby powder in her ear, told her to get a blow-dryer w a cool air setting & let it gently blow in there for so long each day and my mother's decade or longer battle with her ear problems were all gone.

Ah ok so that explained those high pitch ringing sounds i hear sometimes

I cold shower...

If you are disgusting and never clean your ears, ok. But I use it daily, and done it the last 40 years. Go figure.

Please what are your takes on AirPods? Do they affect the ears in any way (push wax deeper etc).

Ear canals are so itchy have to use with a bit of oil

People:with that im still gonna use tha-

Oh my God it’s so pleasurable 🤤

This is helpful! Thanks!😀

I go to a gas station and pump regular unleaded gasoline in my ear it works every time 🙌 🎉

I watch audiologist cleaning ear wax. Love it

You helped me. I am afraid of anything going in to my ears.

What if the water and soap get suck in your ear like in the pool ?

my family:We do not care. proceeds to still use cotton buds

I still use a q-tip, but I put rubbing alcohol on it to "melt" the wax, I'm not.sure if it works, but it is what I dp

I damage my ear with Qtip , after antibiotics now I have ring in my ears 😤 , can clean my ear with peroxide?

I broke the swab off in my ear. 😢

I heard from my doctor that soap in ear is bad.

I used q-tips on my ears all of the time and nothing happens!

Dumb. Water in the ears causes issues. Use peroxide or the stuff they sell at the store and a bulb

putting the qtip in your ear is like a mini orgasm, only way to feel that feeling

when i first heard of it, i thought using a qtip smaller than your ear canal would work since i would be using it like a spoon

Johny sins?

But I like it

My earwax is always has water in so it melted 😂❤ but ty doc!😊

Okay

This d.r Like my colonel in army

Im trying to convince my dad to stop putting these in his ear, and he complains about it itching. My ear canals dont usually itch, figure it might have something to do with the fact that he doesnt have wax to protect his ear from debris with.

guys. this is not a joke. I was once a doctor and I know all about this.

What if I already have pain and the headaches? Am I gonna die? And I’m saying it in a funny way but I’m actually scared now

American standards I’ve been getting my ears clean by my grandma since I was a kid and I still do it to myself to this day. And I have perfect hearing. I’m 40 years old

Oh that's why my ears were hurting

I had an earache last week and used oregano oil. It went away within an hour. Amazing.

Me who takes cold showers…

Cold water in ear or hot water?

I can't hear

What if I take cold showers

Uses qtip because water stays in my ear and causes a swimmers ear.

This works so well!

Water doesn't work to clean your ear because earwax is sticky and oily

Thank you I have really good hearing I inherited it from my grandpa and like I can hear peoples conversations from like 10 m away like I can hear it so well it’s like they’re literally right next to me and I’ve been having trouble with my ears as in can’t hear out of one ear and this is exactly why thank you

noted

That's a lie

Do you put shampoo or bar soap?
