People have been cleaning their ears with cotton swabs for years. What other tools are being inadvertently used wrong? (feddit.nl)

I have actually heard about the wax getting shoved in, so I know what you are referring to there. I have considered it but still think I'm better of continuing to use them. Everyone is different, though.

Apparently most Asian people don't actually produce noticeable ear wax, it's more of a caucasian thing.

Not sure about noticeability, but yes, Asian people have different earwax consistency to whiteys like me. :P
