I used to give class presentations on hearing. I always explained that Q-Tips are NOT meant to clean inside the ear canal. One child shared that his dad used his car keys to clean inside his ears. Maybe Q-Tips aren’t such a bad option, after all!
Well, I do clean my ears with them – bad on me, but I know what it’s like to have your hearing blocked by ear wax on your tympanic membrane. When that has happened, I’ve had to get someone at a doc in the box place flush my ear canal (external auditory meatus) with warm, soapy water – which is NOT fun.

You appear to be on a miniaturising spree of your weapons. It’s time I got my tinnitus checked.

And he’s me thinking tinnitus was a fungal infection between the toes!
