Ear health

[NewEra]

Hello,
I want to know if you should clean your earwax sometimes or regularly? Because I don't do it because a close friend did it and got a infection. Is it necessary to clean your earwax or not? If it is important which methods would be healthy and beneficial? I hope I can seek knowledge about this subject.

This differs a bit for different people. Some people have so tight canals that they can not by conventional methods and have to resort to going to doctor.

Personally I clean once or twice per day because otherwise my ear canals become sticky and itchy.

The reason he got infection is because of lack of hygiene. There could have been something contagious that got into the canal that caused the infection, which is why one should always follow proper hygienic measures if you do this.
