From a medical standpoint earwaxing is horse shit. The ear canal is tiny and there is no way the shit you see at the bottom of the cone is from your ear. The cones are made of bees wax and it just collects at the bottom of the cone leading the user to believe it came out of the ear.
If someone fucks up and burns your ear drum then you are FUCKED for life.
Not worth the risk.

Yah, best bet is to buy some ear cleaning shit from the store. Use that, clean it out, then drop some h202 in your ear to help harden the wax a bit, and then use one of those bulbs with warm water to flush out the rest.
Due to my sinus problems i have a bunch of problems with my ears. I have to do this shit every month, i asked my physician about the ear candles and he just laughed at me

Is this really safe?
I do this sometimes when I have a hellified blockage in my ear (usually induced by the use of the dreaded q-tip). It seems like it might be effecting my hearing. Of course this could just be the earwax. What a vicious cycle.
You've been doing this with regularity for some years and never had anything bad come of it?
OH, and so as not to derail the thread... if you're going to buy an ear candle, get the bayberry scent. Very relaxing.

The method was taught to me by an RN about 31 years ago. It's absolutely safe and VERY effective, as you know.
Yeah, I do it before I trip so I can hear the music even better... Whether my ears need it or not.

I think its a good idea. I read somewhere that wearing headphones increases bacteria build up in the ear or something like that. I wear mine alot, even in my sleep.
