yesterday i cleaned my ears and took out alot of wax:barf:

and now i cant hear much with my right ear, is this normal or something? is it temporary?

how often do you guys clean your ears

[Jowy]

Um, every day after a shower?

[Comet]

Um, every day after a shower?

[Renmiri]

You probably pushed some wax further down... If it keeps on bothering you talk to your doctor, there's some liquid thingy you can squirt on your ears to melt the wax and make it come out dripping (yuck!).

You could also try cotton swabs soaked with baby oil. That is how I keep mine and my kids ears clean :D

[Meat Puppet]

I clean my ears once a day.

[Psychotic]

Why are you complaining? Now you don't have to hear Avril Lavigne imitating a couple of mooses having sex on TV every five bloody minutes.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

*starts mouthing mutely to make TRL(R) think he's deaf*

[Breine]

Maybe a 3-4 times a week.. I tend to forget cleaning them.

[Evastio]

I clean them almost every night.

[Hazzard]

You could always try washing yourself, showers are--Oh crap someones said that joke...

[Faris]

Um, every second day after a shower?

Or when the liquid in my ear starts to annoy me.

Mineral oil, a few drops of that in your ear and it helps clean it. Or at least that is what my grandma would do. The reason you use oil is because wax is non-polar and water is polar so it does not work. There is a certain degree of attraction between non-polar molecules that allow the oil to break down the wax (in other words "like dissolves like").

EDIT: I just use Q-tips though after the shower. :/

Cotton swabs are pretty useless.

[Tifa Valentine]

I usually clean my ears every morning. Sometimes I forget when I'm extra tired or rushing....

[Yuffie514]

i swab them with q-tips after every bath, but i had to use wax removal at least once.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

It's fun to let the dirt accumulate and then scrape it out

[yanis]

Sometimes I clean them twice a day:riiight:

[Sergeant Hartman]

Well at least some of us are clean.

I hardly ever clean my ears...

[Iceglow]

I clean my ears as and when they need it to be honest it's not healthy to do it too often, you can actually damage your ears in the process of doing so (was born with a problem with my ears have had to be meticulous with their care since then) I've tried many products and agree that cotton swabs are pretty useless on their own.......I tend to get otex ear drops then use cotton swabs that or this product called "sonicare" which is essentally a spray to break the wax down.

[Zeldy]

Well you've embarrased yourself through this thread, TRL(R

[Spammerman]

Whenever I want to look REALLY REALLY good and clean up. After I take a shower or before I leave, I go into the bathroom, take like 10 q tips and clean them up.

man i hate it when people do that xD

[Bunny]

I haven't cleaned my ears for 6 years. Because they don't need cleaning. They are clean already. My ears are self-cleaning.

[Renmiri]

bunny ears can take 6 years to get full of wax ;)

[Laddy]

Hydrogen Peroxide works well, it burns it up, instead of pushing it deeper.

[Proxy]

for me it's kind of like an OCD thing...even though I don't have OCD o.O
I do it all the time, whenever I think they're dirty, before I go out, even if I just cleaned them 1 hour before.
The need to be cleaned rarely.
But it feels great too, so I do it often :P

true but then you tend to unlearn things for some strange reason...

[sockmonkey]

I use my little phillips screwdriver.

Caerefully.

We know you're missing some screws up there but that's going too far :p

Doesn't anyone use those cute Japaneses spoons for ear cleaning ?

Be careful when doing this sort of thing. You don't want to puncture your ear drum. I have a history of ear trouble so I am more paranoid than the average person thus I would probably go to my ENT.

When I have an itch in my ear and rub it, and realise I need to. :sweat:

[Pike]

Um, every day after a shower?

Yay, I'm not the only one who does that after all!

I told Huxley and my boyfriend that I cleaned my ears after every shower and they both laughed at me :-\
