maybe its a sign of things to come. i dont know however when i was cleaning my sexy little ears the fluff part of the q-tip broke off into my ears. i dont know how this happend since i use such delecite manuvuers when cleaning out my ears. how do i get it out without insueing large hospital bills? is there any danger to having a q-tip broke off in your ears? i know people live with shrapnal and bullets all the time logged in there body so i wouldnt think so

help :)

Be careful! If you wedge it in too much, you could risk damaging your eardrum.

You could ask someone to take it out carefully with tweezers.

Yes. You need another person for this, ideally. Or possibly you could set up a few mirrors so as to be able to see what you are doing. I'd wait for help though.

I'd say "anytime" but it's not all that often that I get a good ear shot.

You're being brave. I'd be going crazy if I had to wait 4 hours for help.

So would I, I'd be picking at it constantly until it either came out or ruptured my ear drum.
