People say that... And yet, in middle school they did a hearing screening, and said I had reduced hearing. I told my mom "that's crazy, my hearing is incredible, I just had earwax in my ears". We went to the doctor anyways, the PA said she couldn't see any earwax even though I could hear it moving around when she put the scope in my ear
I was adamant I just needed to clean my ears, so my mom grabbed some qtips from the exam room when the PA left, I cleaned my ears, and I passed the test perfectly
In my 30s I can still hear those "teen repellants" that whine at a pitch most lose in their early 20s. People look at me weird when I say I heard someone's voice on the wind, and yet I can pinpoint individuals talking normally within a half a mile in a forest
I don't use qtips anymore, I use a metal loop to clean my ears, but for me it's most certainly necessary to clean them somehow
That’s called an anecdote, and while it’s rad that you’ve got super good hearing it doesn’t mean that cleaning ears is necessary for everyone.
I'm not saying it's necessary for everyone... Even if most people don't need it, some do. I do, despite what everyone has told me from childhood
Anecdotes aren't good science, but they can point out bad science
