    I wear two hearing aids, but am fortunate to have no ear wax problems. It takes discipline to avoid using cotton swabs. Old habits are hard to break, especially when there is a need to keep the hearing aids dry. Sweat seems to flow into the ears.

    I read somewhere that American Indians have dry ear wax that falls out as it should for all of us.

    HMMM...MY MOM is one that if she don't get her wax out it stays in there and clogs her hearing and makes her dizzy. Then she ends up at the DOCS for an ear wash.

    I guess some of us just have to get it out...........:yes2557:

    Just try and snuggle up with your girl
    Then when she starts kissing your neck then up to your ear
    Ok you get the picture

    My son when he was young had small earl canals, it had to be removed or it would get infected from the ear wax build up
    This whole don't clean your ear thing sounds fishy!!!!!!

    Heres a tip. Lay on your side. Put some hydrogen peroxide in the ear sticking up. You will hear bubbling.When it stops do the other ear. If your nostril is congested it will clear & your breathing will improve. Do this with both ears. I suggest daily. In bed at night is good & it can relax you & bring on sleep. Your hearing can also improve.

    I have never heard of the peroxide thing. I have done the ear candling. At the spa I go to they offer ear candling with your massages, facials or even when you get a pedicure.
    Don't the truck stop spa's offer ear candling... LOL

    What the doctor is speaking about is for those who don't have ear problems, excessive wax buildup, etc... For the other 99% of us the ears do need to be kept clean, but that doesn't mean stick half the q-tip in your ear. I've got plenty of practice with ear care since my sister and I both have had major ear problems as well as inner ear reconstruction.

    I've done the peroxide thing...but only once a month, as I have eczema in both ears, and putting peroxide in them too often dries them out, and makes them itch terribly!
