However, they still cannot be used to clean the ear canal. After all, when using such sticks, the dirt may not be removed, but only tamped down.
As a result, the accumulation of dirt can be fraught with various problems.
However, you should not remove wax more than twice a month.
After all, its function is to protect the ear canal.
You can tell it's time to clean your ears by carefully looking into the ear canal.
If there are clearly visible accumulations of dirt, it should be removed.
