🔹 Acid reflux (GERD/LPR)
🔹 Voice overuse
🔹 Habitual behavior
🔹 Throat lumps or masses

If symptoms are persistent, it may irritate the vocal cords and damage the voice.

Stop Using Cotton Buds to Clean Your Ears!

Using cotton buds may feel satisfying, but it can actually do more harm than good:
⚠️ Pushes wax deeper
⚠️ Increases risk of eardrum perforation
⚠️ Can cause infections or injury
👂 Your ears are self-cleaning—no need to poke inside!

If you have a wax problem, see an ENT specialist.

Protect your ears. Skip the cotton buds!
