A member asked:
I tend to put q-tips in way too deep. can this cause me to loose my hearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If too deep: Pushing q-tips too deep can lead to rupture of ear drum and disruption of your hearing bones all leading to hearing loss. If severe enough trauma, it can damage inner ear.
