Dont use q-tips to clean your ear. Whenever you have symptoms of decreased hearing or ear fullness on either one of your ear, i suggest you proceed to a doctor and have it professionally cleaned. Earwax sometimes harden and it needs to be softened up before extraction. Hope you're well.

Ive cleaned my ears using qtips after every shower since I was 10. Never had a problem. I had my doctor have a look and he didnt see any wax.

Tl;dr : qtips are good
