To prevent damage to your ears make sure you clean them often. Yes you can use Q tips but make sure you don't insert deep in the ear canal. When listening to music try avoiding putting the volume so loud. This can lead to hearing problems.

You can protect your ears from damage by playing music at a medium volume (when using ear buds or headphones). Some people use earplugs when mowing the lawn, or doing other noisy activities. Others may use ear plugs in a pool to protect their ears from infection caused by bacteria that get trapped in your ear when you go underwater. ( To prevent that, make sure your ears are dry when you are finished swimming.) Protect your ears from the cold by wearing hats or earmuffs. Do not push anything in your ear. Q-tips are only for cleaning the outer portion to your ear, the visible part.

sounds of any type can cause permanent damage to the ears if they become too loud. Whether it is music or artillery noise, anything above 85 decibels (dB) will destroy the delicate structures of the ear and cause hearing loss. The damage can occur instantaneously or over several hours of unprotected exposure. Be careful: Once your hearing is lost, it may never come back.

  • Never insert a cotton-tipped swab or any other object into your ear canal.
  • Use a wet washcloth to clean your outer ears and the front part of your ear canal.
  • Dry your ears thoroughly after you wash them.

  1. Protect them from loud noises - always wear hearing protection when listening to loud music (like at a rock concert) or visiting a place that's really noisy (like a construction site or quarry). And don't turn the music up loud when you're wearing ear buds or earphones.
  2. Keep them clean - rinse your ears out periodically with warm water or an ear wax removal fluid.
  3. Keep sharp objects out of them - don't poke anything down into your ears to try to get ear wax out because it's very easy to damage your eardrum.
  4. Protect them from sunlight - remember to put sunblock on your ears as well as the rest of your face.
  5. Pierce only the lobes - cartilage has less of a blood supply than the ear lobe, and you can get an infection more easily if you pierce those areas of the ear.

Clean them everyday. Some people say that cotton buds are bad for the ears. If you want to clean my properly, you can buy a cleaning set for ears.

Do not listen to very loud music. It is not necessary to to clean ears to excess, just wash with a face cloth, do not push swabs into the ear. Any disorder should be referred to a doctor
