I was told by a doc that you shouldn't use Qtips because it pushes the wax into your ears. Now, you wanna know my opinion...I use Qtips to clean my ears everyday. I assume it's different for eveyone, my friend's ears produce alot of wax, and when she used a Qtip it clogged her ear for 3 days, it was like a wall of wax.

you should never prod in your ears ! use a saline spray

If you shower every day, making sure you wash your ears out with warm water this should suffice. The medical proffesion do not recommend poking cotton buds into your ear. Yes, regularly clean your headphone plug inserts.
