It is also effective to take a break from listening for a while once you get used to ASMR.

Please don't do that :( I've seen lots of patients coming to the hospital due to cotton bud use

@@eeshashhi there! Just curious. Is it due to damage on the ear drum? Because I only use a cotton bud and lightly scrap the “walls” of the ear canal instead of shoving it and twisting it (if that’s makes sense). I’m curious if that same concern would apply for this x

@Cailey_forman those push the wax further and can cause damage to the ear drum. Wax get harder as it's being pushed. It's very painful to remove.And small cotton particles get stuck in the ear canal. Those leads to ear infections. Since the external ear canal is just 2.5cm no need to clean further. I'm not really good at explaining and my english sucks 🙃 I hope you understand

@@eeshash no, that’s incredibly helpful, thank you. Are there more frequent alternatives to ear flushing if one can’t push cotton buds?

​@@Cailey_formanI think you can clean yours ears with water, like when you are taking a shower, but it's time to time. 'cause it can be counterproductive, washing your ears with water all the time you take a shower can produce more wax. Idk if I'm clear, I'm kinda sleepy.
