There can be many causes for a ruptured eardrum. Trauma from exposure of the ear to a loud blast, or a slap to the ear with a cupped hand, and rapid changes in pressure can result in a hole in the eardrum. If a sharp object, like a Q-tip, is put too far into the ear canal it can cause a rupture.

It's more of a disclaimer really, people still clean their ears with q-tips. But the danger people associate it with is goingtoo far and damaging your ear drum and causing damage. You also bear the risk of pushing ear wax further down your ear canal, which can cause additional problems that make it harder to remove.

If your ears are plugged, try swallowing, yawning or chewing sugar-free gum to open your eustachian tubes. If this doesn't work, take a deep breath and try to blow out of your nose gently while pinching your nostrils closed and keeping your mouth shut.

No they are not as safe the grips are mechanical so you don't have any natural feel for what's going on in the ear. You've been told many times not to put anything in your ear. I'm fine with Q-tips myself but there is a risk of pushing more wax further in to your ear.

They are easy to use and convenient; but the truth is, they can actually cause more harm than good. Q-tips can push wax further into the ear canal, which can cause impaction, discomfort, or a rupture in the ear drum. If the wax gets pushed too far into the ear canal, it could require surgical intervention.

And q-grips or similar won't help you with it really, they're mroe likely to make it work. However, for outer ear cleaning they are ok. Work better usually. But then again normal q-tips can do the job just fine as well and are cheaper.

If your child has an outer ear infection, wait until one week after treatment to give the ear time to heal before letting your child swim. For middle ear infections and glue ear, swimming is OK but should be avoided if the ear drum is perforated.

When chronic suppurative otitis media flares up, doctors prescribe antibiotic ear drops. People with severe flare-ups are also given antibiotics by mouth. Water must be kept out of the ear when a perforation is present. Usually, the eardrum perforation can be repaired by a procedure called tympanoplasty.

While you may see some amount of residue on the cotton swab, inserting Q-tips actually cause the wax to go further into the ear canal instead of getting all of it removed. Swabbing in your ears can actually affect your sense of hearing, the moment that the ear wax gets into the eardrums instead of going out the ears.

It could be as long as a week to 10 days before the doctor says OK. That's a bummer in the summer, but it's better than having that awful ear pain again! If you have a big problem with swimmer's ear or you're a kid who's always in the water, the doctor may suggest ways for you to protect yourself.

You can also make eardrops at home. Just mix a half-teaspoon of white vinegar and a half-teaspoon of rubbing alcohol and pour it into each ear. Then let it drain out. Don't put eardrops in your ear if you have had any ear pain, ear surgery, or have a tear in your eardrum (perforated eardrum).
