Ear wax. What's the best way to clean it out?

• GoChiefs

  

  What happens is..you stick the hollow 'ear candle' in your ear..then you light it. When it's lit..it creates a vacuum inside the hollow candle which sucks out the ear wax.

  Try a shootgun aimed just under the ear in ? Aim in an upward position.

  This.
  
  dry q-tips are worthless.

  I know this chic that wanted to make her own ear wax candle.. she actually ended up putting hot wax into her ear, and then had to go to the doctor.. I thought wouldnt it had been soo much easier to buy them from the local Foreign chic that sells that stuff!
  
  
  on a side note : those ear candles are pretty cool, disgusting too..

  Poop?

  No, I can't say that I have.
  
  Ya know, I think I am going to trying this candling thing......and I know JUST where to get it.
  
  I think I will try it out first on one of my kids and see for myself what "creatures" come out!

  I dip a Q-tip in peroxide and it clears it right up.
  
  I've also seen the air pressure method... where the doc sticks a small tube in your ear, and blows all the wax out. Not sure exactly what the procedure s called but it cleans out more than you think is in there. My brother has it done here and there and said a handful of wax came out.

  Why not just stick a candle wick in your ear and light it?
  
  
  Seems logical... wax in the ear + wick + fire = clean ear!

  I think this video gives a pretty good demonstration of a good technique!!!!!

  I was mesmerized by that video.
  
  I think the doctor pulled out about 5 or 6 baby robins.

  My friend's wife worked at a call center and ended up with an obstruction and infection in one ear. I got to be around when she attempted to treat it and irrigate it.
  
  Let's just say that she finally succeeded in removing something roughly the size of a pea, complete with green and black streaks through it.

  Don't believe that I've ever seen anything quite like that.....

  Can you imagine how good that must have felt when that doc took all that stuff out on the video. I'll bet the hearing difference in the person was incredible.
