How to Safely Clean Your Ears. Normally, ear canals are self-cleaning and should not need to be cleared with any foreign devices. Trying to clean the ear with cotton swabs or other objects can actually cause problems by pushing the ear wax deeper into the ear canal.

Regular cleaning prevents hard wax buildup, which can trap bacteria in the inner ear and causing ear infections.
