Tepper suggests starting with the medium-sized earbuds first. Voigt recommends letting your ears do their self-cleansing thing and seeing a professional if you think ear wax is interfering with your ability to hear or comfortably wear earbuds.) (Quick reminder: Ear wax is your body’s natural mechanism for keeping your ears clean, and you shouldn’t use Q-tips to try to remove that wax because it can just push the wax in deeper, Dr. “Sometimes people come to me and there’s a ton of wax against the eardrum, and there’s no way for wax to get pushed in like that unless it’s by an earbud or a Q-tip,” Maura Cosetti, M.D., director of the Cochlear Implant Center at the Ear Institute of the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, tells SELF. It could be a sign your ear canals are too filled with wax and the earbuds are just packing the wax deeper, Dr. If they’re caked in earwax, don’t just get grossed out, wipe them off, then scrub the sight from your mind. Take a look at those ‘buds the next time you whip them out (or the next time they topple out of your ears and make you want to scream). Even if your ear canals are of typical size, a buildup of earwax could cause ill-fitting earbuds.
