Actually, Q-tips are the worst thing to do man. Like Smokey said, earwax is there to protect you and ramming some bacteria cotton into your ear, and rubbing the wax into your eardrum is bad according to this guy: http://www.webmd.com/content/article/42/1685_53158.htm

"Second, you don't use Q-tips in the ears. Q-tips do not fit very well and will gradually pack the wax back against your eardrum (just like loading a cannon by tamping down the powder). If you want to use them to clean the ear opening, that's OK, but don't dig around deep in the ear canal."
