Ear cleaning
-
I used to almost after every shower, but after I recently had a couple of pretty bad ear infections I started to think about what doctors say, which is to not do it.
So now I just try to gently pour warm water inside as much as I can when I shower and then just dry out the external surface.

Never use q tips I use a baby syringe full of warm water to blow out the wax! If you use a qtip it pushes the wax deeper into you ear canal!

One of my ear drums had to be pierced, because of fluid build up inside when I was a kid. Doctor told me to not get water in that ear, to help prevent it from getting an infection.

Please be careful putting any kind of liquid in your ears if you have any ear issues such as tinnitus, perforated ear drums etc. The warnings on the labels of ear drops and peroxide type products SPECFICALLY WARN about this.
I know in recent years there has been a move away from using cotton buds, including changing their name on packaging (they were once widely labelled 'ear buds') - but they would be much safer to use than ear drops in this case. As long as you are sensible and don't try to push them in too far.
