ive seen them at the place i get my hair cut sounds like it would feel great to get your ears unclogged..think im gonnna try it...
What up Dunk Dizzle? You can get them at helath food stores. Most of the time they have them behind the counter. Just ask when you go next time. I suggest getting 6-8 of them. You can do it up to three times a days for three days. That is the manufactures suggestion. But do it at least twice the first day. You should have seen these wax nugs come out bro. They looked like rocks!!!Dunk said:

They don't work. Do more harm than good.

Why Candling Can't Work
Since wax is sticky, the negative pressure needed to pull wax from the canal would have to be so powerful that it would rupture the eardrum in the process. However, candling produces no vacuum. Researchers who measured the pressure during candling of ear models found that no negative pressure was created. The same investigators candled eight ears and found that no ear wax was removed and candle wax was actually deposited in some of them! [3]
The notion that the ear canal is connected to structures beyond the eardrum is false. A review of a good anatomy book should dispel this notion. The external ear canal, with an intact eardrum, is not connected to the brain, the sinuses targeted by the procedure (those above your eyes), or the Eustacean tubes (the passageways between the internal ear and the back of the throat). While some claim that the eardrum is porous and quickly allows impurities to pass through, this is untrue. The "impurities" that appear in the collected wax (usually on a paper plate or other collecting device) are nothing more than the ashes from the burnt wick and wax of the cone itself.
