This is crazy... I just cleaned out my ears with Q-Tips for the first time in like a year probably and I really should do it more often because I'm actually hearing like 10x better than ever. How often do you clean out your ears? Do you? Why or why not?

If your problem's wax, then they have this water pump thing that cleans it out safely. It'll bring out more than a finger or cotton bud can. If you have something like eczema up there, then you'll get ear-drops and be sorted.

You should do it after every shower. You do shower every day right? Or at least once every 2 days.
o.O

Hmm I wonder how much your guitar work will improve because of this. And no I don't clean my ears all that often.
<!--QuoteBegin-website quoted above+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (website quoted above)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The reason why those stupid warning instructions appear is quite obvious. One day, some slack-jawed imbecile decided to play "How-Deep-Is-My-Ear-Canal?" and poked out his eardrum. Good. That's one less moron in the world with the gift of stereo hearing. But then he went and sued the Q-Tip company for a few million dollars for not warning him that thrusting sticks in your ear can be risky business. And because the retards on this planet have been multiplying like zombies, every company is now forced to idiot-proof their products regardless of how intuitive they may seem:
-Nails are harmful if swallowed.
-Pop Tart filling will be hot after coming out of the toaster
-Honey Nut Cheerios may contain nuts
-Do not apply curling iron to genitals
Q-Tips have one purpose, and one purpose only: to remove earwax from my ear canal. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I use a q-tip whenever I get around to it...or since I'm in college, I've got this pencil eraser somewhere that seems to do the job... (<!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->).
I figure swimming is the best way to get rid of earwax. Let other people swim in the dissolved stuff <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Then all you need to worry about is getting the water out of your ears.
I clean them out every so ofter, I'm amazed at how much wax I can pull out. If you have blockage, the water pump and the doctor are you friends
homemade solutions are NOT to be used, however. Just a warning for whoever has bad ideas.

Cotton bud is a q tip
So, don't do that.

Q-Tips for cleaning, waxing, and polishing parts of your car!
With a Q-TIP?! This idea is so unbelievably stupid that I'm not even going to comment on it.
Q-Tips as disposable paintbrushes for the kids!
Go to the dollar store and buy your kids some paintbrushes you cheap ****. Or better yet, let them fingerpaint.
Q-Tips for use in arts and crafts!
To be more specific, they're recommended for making sculptures of castles, bridges, trees, or trains. You've got to be kidding me! What's next, a toy boat made out of tampons and band-aids?

Thus making it better.
if you don't want to call them Q-tips, you have to at least call them cotton swabs. that's what they say in the ER.
as for my ears - I can safely say I've never cleaned them. whatever happened to the old adage, don't stick anything bigger than your elbow in your ear? I'm not gonna damage my eardrum just to get a little natural healthy wax out. you know, the wax is there for a reason: it prevents infection. people who clean their ears often are far more likely to get ear infections.
Seriously. Don't do it.
About 2 weeks ago I had to go t the doctor cause I had this large glob of... junk.. in my ear despite clearning them like once a week. It seemed the more I cleaned em the worse it got, and that's exactly what happened. The fibers and stuff from the q-tip will remain in your ear and instead of just regular ear wax building up, this grayish color crud builds up and it is a pretty big pain.
Had to get my ear irrigated (basically just squirted a lot of water into my ear, heh) and the ball of gunk that came out was like the size of a M&M. Pretty freakin nasty.
So don't use Q-tips on your ears folks.
The nurse suggest just lathering up soap and letting that run into your ears then just turn your head up to let the shower water run into the ear canal.
P.S. A whole year without cleaning your ears? Eww.
but its dumb... he tries too hard and the arguments he has arent even funny....

Is soap in your ear healthy? I assumed it wasn't...
I use one after every shower to sop up the water that gets inside my ears. I've never had an ear infection and the doctor says my ears are very clean.
