The professional answer I hate hearing as ex-Helpdesk is "don't put cotton swabs in your ears." Okay, and? I got shit in there to clean out. By the way don't click links in email.
Ok, but I had to watch my guy freak out when the cotton swab got left behind. 🤦🏻♂️
So dad was an ear surgeon. The problem is that you compact the wax for in your ears I think (I am NOT an ear surgeon please don't consider this advice) but olive oil loosens it you can get it in a cheap spray from the pharmacy.
It's hard to be of help to someone when you're insulting them. I'm embarrassed to admit that it took me a while to learn that.
My cat that wants to snuggle my head does leave fur in there. And who has energy to click anything in emails?
Don't be distracted while letting your car drive itself.
