Hey! Stop doing that!!!! Do you like to hear what is going on around you? If you're answer is yes, then you'd better stop sticking harmful objects into your ears!! The inner ear is an extremely delicate place. You could even harm it with your own finger if you're not careful. Please stop sticking things in there. Hey! Where some earmuffs!!! Maybe that will help. =) Good Luck.

Just say no to a silly habit. Its better than an external/middle ear infection. Maybe a scarred ear drum. I lost part of my hearing in Nam. I wear hearing protection all the time plus a hearing aid for each ear. I'd give anything to hear a normal conversation. Put that stuff in your breif case.........bless ya.

dude- your eardrums are in major danger if you don't stop your behavior. Is your obsession worth damaging your hearing? You shouldn't even put q-tips in your ear. Maybe try putting a rubber band around your wrist and snapping yourself with it when you catch yourself. Or wear earplugs to see what it will be like if you rupture your eardrum! Good luck!

Stick a lit match in each ear then everytime you try to stick something in there you will know and you can break your habit that way!

if u r alone or something and catch yourself doing it, put head phones on and listen to music. if there r people around u, tell them to remind u to stop doing it when u start 2.

maybe try listening to music with headphones? at least you already have something in your ears so it'll prevent you from putting something else in there too.

block your ears, put some bandaid or something, then you will realize everytime you try to make it, and thus program yourself not to do it

You need to find a safe way to increase the pleasure in your life, your laking pleasure, that's why you do it.
