A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: There is no immediate risk, though prolonged exposure to loud sounds will damage hearing. Do not use tissue paper, nor Q tips, to clean your ears. You may use small pieces of paper towel rolled into a wick. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Practice safe sex.
