A little dilute peroxide will do it without risking your tympanic membranes... and we won't have to see any more pics like this 
It's a win/win situation.

yeah it's gross.  let me give the back story. 

i have been having noticeably degraded hearing for the last few months, i was actually planning on seeing a doctor about it soon.  then last night the big chunk actually broke loose on its own, i was just watching tv and suddenly i could feel something weird going on in my ear.  i just stuck my pinky in there and could feel that thing.  i pulled it out with a tweezers, i was afraid a q-tip would push it back in.  i put it on a q-tip for the picture.  the other chunk i did dig out with a q-tip... sorry to all the doctors. 

i believe the chunks were actually formed by earplugs, about a year ago i started using silicon ear plugs at work, which you just jam in, instead of the foam type that you roll up and let expand in place.  i think the ear plugs have been pushing the junk deeper into my ear every time i used the plugs.

I bet you had a sniff of it as well.

go on...

mainly bugs of all kinds.


One story still haunts me.  A guy at party had the stupid idea of sticking straws up his nose and in his ears. Another guy thought it would be funny to come up behind him and and slam the straws into his ears.

holy crap i'm soaking my ears in peroxide now.


i have noticed that if i'm starting to feel a it under the weather, if i clean my ears i usually feel better almost immediately

Wow guys... most disgusting thread ever. Congrats.

I clean my ears regularly with a Q-Tip and I've never had the problems you guys are discribing. Rotate the swab as you put it in and out instead of stabbing it in. No impaction and it pulls the wax out.

Geez, hygiene anyone?

My best friend owns a salon and they do ear candling.  They light the sucka on fire and stick it in your ear.  A few minutes later I was amazed at what came out.  I wanted to sniff it.... but didn't.
