There is an actual device you can buy at Walgreens called the Ototek loop. Its a small round loop at the end of a plastic handle with an ear guard about midway up the handle. Its used to remove earwax buildup.
Don't get your ears syringed, most doctors don't do it properly. Get them cleaned by an ENT surgeon or better yet, use soda bic drops (available over the counter at most pharmacies) twice a day for a few weeks, and stop. Anonymous was right though, wax almost always falls out by itself. (how do I know these things? I'm one of those aforementioned ENT surgeons)
Has anyone tried ear candling? Its draws all the wax out of your ear and according to my homeopathic physician is drains your sinus cavities too! its so soothing and then you get to cut the candle open and look at all the wax and other stuff that came out.

The video's not working!!! How will I know how to use this properly???
Que aguevazón.
Wow... I was sent this video by an ex-boyfriend who thought I was weird for liking to clean people's ears. I guess I'm not the only one!
Things I learned in life:
- Don't use q-tips. You'll be pushing the earwax deeper into the ear.
- Don't do anything about your earwax. It usually falls out naturally.
- If you really want to get rid of it, go to a doctor. He will rinse your ear with warm water.

Ear candling is both ineffective and dangerous.

Is she cleaning or just pulling wild hairs or both? If shes after wild ear hairs, she would love my ears.
