I've been using a metal earpick for about the last 4 years every couple of days. I'm very gentle and have a very heightened awareness of the inside of my ears and don't believe I will ever rupture or harm my inner ear or eardrum. I've never had blocked ears or a bad ear infection I just enjoy the ... Ermm... Excavation process. Okay, it might be bordering on something akin to dermatillomania. Didn't even know these cams were a thing, but I've always wanted to see what I'm doing to really find the gold.
- paulcole 5y ago> don't believe I will ever rupture or harm my inner ear or eardrum Has anyone who's ever harmed their inner ear or ear drum not thought this beforehand?
- afarviral 5y agoToo true... I have a strong suspicion that a specific person with the right technique isn't necessarily at any risk, that more harm would come to more people if it was encouraged en mass. I do sometimes worry I'll get a startle and stab my inner ear.
