I once heard someone say “you should never put anything smaller than your elbow inside your ear”. Not certain if that meant just because of the size. For me at least, it’s rather difficult to get my elbow anywhere near my ear which I think is the point.
Nothing. By constantly rubbing the inside of the ear, you’re irritating it and removing the oils, which in turns makes the ear produce it more, which in turns makes you clean it constantly.
It’s unnecessary. When you stop, the ears will get to their normal balance and self-cleaning.
If the ears do get dirty or truly well stuck with wax, there are ear cleaning sprays you can buy, or make a solution of hydrogen peroxide, warm water and alcohol, then gently rub in some olive oil.
You are not supposed to use q-tips to clean your ears. But if it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

What are you supposed to use? I have been cleaning my ears with them my whole life.

I started wiping my inner ear with a tissue to keep my earbuds clean. No qtips, just my finger covered in tissue paper.
