STOP Cleaning Your Ears WRONG! (How To Clean Your Ears Properly)
About this video
Centeno explains why using Q-tips to clean the inner ear is harmful and demonstrates the correct way to clean ears safely. He covers the purpose of earwax, debunks ear candles, and provides step-by-step instructions for cleaning the outer ear with a washcloth and flushing the inner ear with oil and a bulb syringe.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that Q-tips pushed into the ear canal can compact wax, cause infections, and in extreme cases rupture eardrums
- Centeno recommends cleaning only the outer ear with a damp washcloth, focusing on the helix, lobule, fossa, scapha, and concha without inserting anything into the canal
- Centeno advises softening inner ear wax with drops of baby oil, mineral oil, glycerin, or hydrogen peroxide, then flushing gently with warm water from a bulb syringe
