Ditch the Cotton Buds – Here’s Why

Many people still use cotton buds to clean their ears — but it’s actually one of the worst things you can do. Cotton buds often push wax deeper into the ear canal, increasing the risk of impaction, irritation, and even eardrum damage.

At Ear Corner in Ashford, Surrey, we advise all our clients to avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. Your ears are self-cleaning, but if wax becomes a problem, our microsuction service offers a safe, comfortable solution. With appointments lasting 30 to 45 minutes, we take the time to clean thoroughly and answer any questions you may have.
