| | Just purchased an ear cleaner suppose to extract wax from your ears via battery operated at $49 in a magazine , its a dud it does not do a thing really , looks a bit like a miniature hair dryer , only wished it had of been trialled on this site could of saved my self $49 as l am sure the reports would of been bad under testing it .Great site for testing these type of products in the future . | | | |

| Well, I know every man & his dog says "don't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear", but honestly, a cotton bud is cheap, it gets the gunk out of your ears, & since I do try hard not to give myself an ear canal lobotomy by being careful & gentle, I can't say I've seen a product that catches my attention enough to shell out my hard earned cash for. (Although I do go to the doctor to get my ears cleaned out properly every couple of years, so that might help keep them not too grungy)
I'm sorry you spent all that money though, it would make me really mad too!! At least as this site gets bigger & has more members we'll be able to check here first! | | | |

| | I haven't seen anything better than cotton buds either. That's all I use, it does the job for me! You should try and return the product and get your money back! | | | |

| | i find ear candling leaves the cleanest feeling, I get it done pretty regularly, and it's not too expensive either. | | | |

| candyice, my doctor tells me that using an earbud is the worst thing that you can do as it pushes the wax up against the eardrum.
lemc, you can buy ear candles at the health food shop and get someone to help you, a lot cheaper than having it done professionally. | | | |

| | Is ear candling hard to use? Ive always thought about it but figured you would need some sort of experience before using it on someone | | | |

| | I have not personally tried ear candling, but my naturopath recommended it. | | | |

| | I actually found ear candling to help with the terrible ear aches, ringing and blocked ears I get when flying. I now use them religiously before and after a flight. | | | |

| Thanks for the feed back on this Froggy l was going to buy one as my sons ears are shocking,
last time the hospital had to try and get all the wax out and he screamed something terrible, my poor boy. He has autism and there is no way he will let the hospital touch them again and l hoped that the ear thing would be good for him. I
I have never heard about the ear candles Lemc l wonder how he would go with that thanks for the tip. | |

| | i recently had a really bad inner ear infectioon and the doc asked if i clean my ears out, i do regularly he said its the worst thing to do there's meant to be wax in there, if i insist on clesning them use a clean cotton tip and only rub the outside area of the canal dont pit it inside it pushed the wax deeper and can cause infection. | | | |

| | You can buy specially shaped cotton tips for the littlies - so that you can't push them in too far by accident. | | | |

| | Yes we have used these on my Husband's ears as he always has troubles and they work quite well, or another product that works well is Audiclean spray. | | | |
