Study: Cleaning your ears with earbuds may be really dangerous

The man previously had several treatments on his left ear due to infections and therefore did not take the problem much seriously, thinking it could be one of those. However, when the doctors scanned his brain and ear, they found inflammation with pus in the bones of his skull close to the left ear canal. The infection that had probably started in the ear canal had spread to his skull.

The doctors had to perform minor surgery to treat the problem and that is when they found the tip of the cotton swab covered in ear wax and debris and concluded that this could have aggravated the problem and even led to the spread of the infection.
