One shouldn't clean their ears. They are designed to be self-cleaning. If there is wax buildup, an ENT is warranted. I go once a year and I never have wax buildup. He usually removes skin flakes stuck to my eardrum.
I rarely, if ever clean my ears. My mom's philosophy was always "never put anything more than your elbow in your ear". I believe I once had them cleaned by an ENT due to an ear ache.

@Icegoddess what do you do when you have just washed you hair and they are all full of water
Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.
I've been "cleaning" my ears with a Q-tip for decades. No problems. When I was a child my mother sometimes use the "u" shaped end of a bobby pin. My father would have a fit!! But I survived--LOL! Can't imagine going to an ENT just to have my ears cleaned unless I was having a problem.
Are these real questions? Do you not know how to clean your ears or when to wear underwear or how to handle getting a mammogram?
@Bri369 Huh if I didnt have questions I would not ask them, life is full of questions and I did not ask how to get a mamogram, Learn to read and comprehend
