Is it a problem is you clean your ears about 3 times a day???

Question

I always have to clean my ears. If any wax is in there, I can feel it and I have to get it out. It feels really good when I clean my ears. Is this a problem???

Answer 1

Like the feeling huh? Kinky

Or a bit OCD

Answer 2

yeah, wax is a natural defense to keep bacteria/dirt/bugs out.  Try once a day! Otherwise you will be more susceptible to ear infections

Answer 3

the problem would be that you need to clean your ears that often.

Answer 4

naw ur just really image conscious... once a day is good enough

Answer 5

Yes, this is a problem. Ear wax is there for a reason. Obviously a lot of build up isn't good for you, but in order to keep dust and other particles out of your ear (to keep from damage) you need some amount of wax.

Careful if you're using Q-tips. It's suggested not to even use them because people go in too far. But if you do, then be CAREFUL!! I had a friend who went to far, made a puncture, and got an infection -- almost leading to deafness in that ear. Careful :-)

Answer 6

Hey I like this question. I clean my ears twice a day, in the morning and again in the afternoon at work. I have a stash of q-tips in my office. I pretend I need some quiet and go in there and clean my ears. It is one of my favorite feelings.

So no I don't think its too much.  

Answer 7

Its only a problem if you NEED to clean your ears. If wax develops that fast then it is a problem.

Answer 8

If you don't have any hearing problems, then you're fine.

Answer 9

try doin it just once a day
