Not so long ago, I visited an ear, nose, and throat doctor following an “incident” with a Q-tip. After confirming I had not permanently compromised my hearing, the doctor admonished me. “I’m sure you’ve heard you should never stick anything smaller than your elbow in your ear,” he said.
“Yep.”
“Your ears are self-cleaning. You don’t need to stick anything in them.”
Only after I walked out of the doctor’s office did I wonder: Where was my good doctor when I was a kid and my mother constantly chased after me with a Q-tip?
