Ear buds are meant to be used for outer ear only i. E to clean the folds of outer ear.
Using them inside the ear is not recommended and can lead to dangerous ear infection.

The delicate skin in the ear canal can get damaged and subsequently infection may occur leading to a condition called otitis externa.
