INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Inserting cotton buds into the ear canal can perforate the eardrum or push wax deeper?

Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: one notes improper cotton bud use can push cerumen deeper and risk injury, and a survey reports that most respondents knew cotton buds could cause eardrum perforation and push wax deeper. However, no retrieved item directly establishes that inserting cotton buds can perforate the eardrum or push wax deeper as a documented outcome.
