All about Ear Care

Looking after your ears means keeping them dry, not pushing objects into them and turning music down. Loud sounds can damage hearing over time.

Ears clean themselves naturally, so cotton buds are not needed inside the ear.

Cotton buds should not go inside the ear canal, because they can push wax further in or cause injury.

If you feel pain, see fluid or notice a change in your hearing, tell an adult so that a doctor can check your ears.
