I wear hearing aids, so I use q-tips every day after I shower to dry and clean my outer ear. Never had any problem with wax compaction, but I have scratched my ear canal which resulted in an infection a couple of times. You have to be gentle, don't grind away like you're brushing your teeth in a big hurry.
