...as per the instructions on the side of the pack? And if you don't, how in Beezlebub's eyes are you supposed to clean the wax out of your ears??!?

So you just leave it in there and give it a good polish and buff? 🙂

It should find its way out.

Buds push it back in.

Oil frees it up

If everything is working properly ears are basically self cleaning. By cleaning them with cotton buds you are actually causing more wax to be produced and making it more likely you will have problems.

.. and there's some push on to force people like boots to use paper/card-based sticks for them, as apparently the plastic ones are killing [i]everything[/i]

The smallest thing you should put in your ear is your elbow!

In other words, leave well alone!

I've found a slightly over long little finger nail works quite well as a scoop without (I think) endangering the eardrum. I have a long history of wax and its removal. It used to be done using a huge syringe and warm water which left you feeling really clean. These days it's either a low pressure pump or a vacuum device. Either way a couple of weeks putting olive oil in your ears is required to soften the wax before the nurse will touch it.

Not something I do everyday, but do enjoy a good dig around with a cotton bud.

Remove the shower head and hold your thumb over the end of the hose for maximum pressure then direct jet directly in to your ear and vibrate your eardrum for maximum eargasm

Rockshox bleed syringe and warm water - perfect for it and saves a trip to the doctors.
Advised to do this myself after they cut yet more clinics at my local and no way of getting an appointment.

Hopefully with no dot 5.1 in there. That stuff eats through everything!

Never. My mum was a GP and she said the majority of people she saw with early deafness admitted doing so.

Never stick anything in your ears!
