Hi, I often clean my ears with Q tips, and I have always been very careful. But this morning, I accidentally pushed a little harder, and I felt sharp pain. I’m afraid I injured my ear, and don’t know what to do.
Hi, it happened to me once. I was cleaning my ears obsessively every day, and I didn’t know at that time that this was triggering my ears to produce even more wax. I put the Q tip so deep, that I felt sharp pain like some sharp metal object hitting in my inner part of the ear. The pain lasted for 5-10 seconds, and it was very strong. I thought I injured my ear, and I expected blood to flow any minute. I stood there for five minutes, waiting for something to happen. However, the pain was gone, and there was no blood. I was lucky that I didn’t injured my ear and damaged my hearing with Q tip. Since than, I’m always very careful when I use Q tips, because I realized how dangerous they can be if you don’t use them properly.
