Contrary to popular belief, ear wax isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s good for your ears. Ear wax protects your ear canal from dust and debris that can find their way around your ear. That being said, you don’t want too much wax sitting in your ears, as that can also cause problems.
A good rule of thumb is to clean your ears every few days with these home remedies.

Contrary to popular belief, ear wax isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s good for your ears. Ear wax protects your ear canal from dust and debris that can find their way around your ear. That being said, you don’t want too much wax sitting in your ears, as that can also cause problems.
A good rule of thumb is to clean your ears every few days with these home remedies.

How to Clean Your Ears at Home Naturally



Warm Water

Immediately after taking a shower, rub a cotton swab around the outside of your ear — the warm water from your shower will loosen any debris sitting on your ear. If you do use a cotton swab on your ears, make sure you never actually insert it into your ear canal — swabs have been known to burst an eardrum if inserted too forcefully.

Salt Water

One teaspoon of salt per half a cup of warm water is all you need for this natural wax removal remedy. Once all of the salt has dissolved, tilt one ear upward and use a cotton swab to gently rub the solution around your ear, allowing water to drip inside your ear canal. After a minute, tilt your ear down and let the solution drain out.

Hydrogen Peroxide

As one of the most effective ways to remove excess wax, hydrogen peroxide is best able to remove stubborn ear wax from inside your ear canal. Using a dropper, place a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water (equal parts) into your ear as you lay on one side. After one to two minutes, sit up and let the solution drain into a paper towel or washcloth held near your ear.
When cleaning your ears, it’s so important to never force anything (liquids or solids) into your ear canal. Before cleaning your ears, you should speak with a professional to ensure you won’t cause any damage to your ears or hearing.

How to Safely Clean Your Ears (and What to Absolutely Not Do)

Everyone gets ear wax buildup from time to time. You may find some on the outside of the ear canal, or it may attach itself to your earbuds. It's fine to clean your outer ear when ear wax gets unruly, but you should think twice before digging into your ear with a Q-tip or another ear-cleaning device. Most physicians recommend against cleaning your ears in this way, as you could cause serious damage. Here's a look at why your ears are generally better left to clean themselves

At first glance, ears seem like an uncontroversial topic. Unlike washing your legs (or taking regular showers), there aren’t many internet arguments about the subject. How to clean ears, however, is where things get interesting. After all, the ear is a complex apparatus, and we’ve all heard conflicting information on just how much cotton swabs should factor into your ear maintenance (spoiler alert: not at all).
So, to demystify things for you, we’re breaking down exactly when and how to clean your ears yourself, what you should avoid, and a few tips on when you should see a provider for earwax removal.

Do you even need to clean your ears?

Your ears are more than just earring display cases and hosts for the occasional pimple. When you think about your ears, you probably think of the outer ear. This includes the pinna or auricle, which is the outside structure that you can see very easily, and the external auditory canal, which is the beginning of your ear canal. But there’s also the middle ear, made up of three bones that transmit sound waves, and the inner ear, which consists of nerves and canals that help us hear and maintain our balance, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. Your ears also contain tympanic membranes, better known as eardrums, which divide the external ear from the middle ear, the University of Rochester Medical Center explains.
