Same feeling when using a Qtip to rub that one part deep in your ear just right

Qtips shouldn't be inserted into the ear... It damages the tiny hairs inside the ear and those don't grow back, causing hearing loss. And while they take some earwax out, part of the earwax will be pushed further into the ear, which can cause infections. If you want to clean your ear, it's better to just take a tissue to clean the outside. If the hearing canals are plugged up, either clean them with olive oil or if there is already a painful infection going on, just go to the doctor. But Qtips really should not go into any ears, even if it feels good

lol these are not the hairs needed for hearing... there is a membrane in between - remember?
