How does this happen? ***not for the weak-stomached***

I shower daily, often twice. I use Q-tips. So why was I sitting here earlier this morning talking to my wife thinking a bug or something fell off of the ceiling onto my shoulder, only to realize that it was...

ear wax? I swear it was about the size of a small peanut.

Fucking gross. She thought it was funny. If we had been dating she would have dropped my ass.
 
I get that shit too and I have noone to check it for me except my daughter. When I go on dates, I always wonder.
 
What about using those squeeze-bottle type things for your ears??
 
maybe the last time you used the q-tips - you actually dislodged the piece of wax and instead of it attaching to the q-tip, it fell off onto your shoulder.
 
Damn bro, you should have molded it into a virgin mary and ebay'd that sucker.
 
this is common as you get older I guess. the same thing happened to my father.. he went and had his ears drained (well they use a high powered water gun and pressure clean your ears. well after he had that done, he never had any more clumps and he could hear so so much better

check it out with your doc.
 
I got chastized the last time I suggested using a bobbypin. You can get a lot of crap out of your ears with them. You just got to be slow and careful.
 
Those ear cones that you burn work awesome. I never knew I had so much wax in there. Its kinda like a natural colonic for ur ears.

It's one of the biggest scams out there. I'll try to find the link for ya. The wax is the wax from the cone.
 
Good er...tips. My Doc told me one time that Q-tips are not very effective in the inner ear, only for the outer rim. He said the best thing is to let the hot shower water run in each ear for about 10 sec every time you shower.

I'm back to doing that again.
 
Q-tips don't work for inner ear, and actually worsen the problem. As my Doctor told me, I have real bad ear wax build up due to genetics, imagine a Black Powder gun. Now, when you pour the powder in it and PACK it in, you are virtually doing the same thing to the inner ear.

I should get my ears cleaned every 6 months the problem is so bad, next time I go I'm asking for something perscription. You should see my balance when it gets bad, it is like I'm tanked at times I wobble so much. I can be standing next moment I start leaning for no reason at all, like a magical wind hit me.
 
lmfao, that happened to me a few times despite the chronic usage of q-tips
 
Go to your doctors to get them flushed. They'll give you some drops to apply a few days before hand to loosen and soften up the wax. You'll be surprised at how much better you hear after.
 
That's only happened maybe two other times so I don't think I'm in need of a prescription just yet. I've always had good hearing and balance.

I'm due for a physical this fall, so I get my hearing checked then, and my ears peeked at.
 
buy one of the bulbs that mom's use on babies ears; fun warm water and fill the bulb; lay your head with ear down and slowly pump the warm water in to your ear; it will losen the wax by warming it up and then flushing it out
 
Most physicians recommend adding a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide to water (to dilute it at least 10:1). Place that in your ear and let it sit for a few minutes.

I thought hyrogen peroxide was water based and will leave water residue in your ear in which bacteria will grow promoting infection.

But, I don't know where I heard it ... perhaps in a bar. I'm no freaking doctor.

Yep that's what my husband uses......works pretty well....

the hydrogen peroxide will also kill most of the bacteria it comes in contact with...and unless the water is trapped, it wont be around long enough for significant bacterial growth

a peanut of wax falling out of your ear is pretty hideous, i must say.

Yes, hideous, but for the record it was a very tiny peanut. More like a broken half-peanut. Sheesh.

I stared at it in the palm of my hand in disbelief, then shock for about two minutes. Mrs Longhorn wouldn't look at it, but my kids did.

I flushed it.
 
You can add a bit of vinegar to your ear for a few seconds and then let it drain. The vinegar changes the PH balance in your ear and the wax melts.
 
They sell an earwash in the drug store. I've only had an ear infection once in my life, but I think it was the worst pain in the world. I couldn't eat, drink, be in light, etc because everything hurt. Since then, I use an earwash when I swim, etc. It works well to remove excess wax, etc.
 
The doc used some crazy ear blaster on me when I was a kid and I swear like 3-4 of those monster chunks of wax came out of BOTH ears.....Its there all the time you just dont know it. I must have like a pound or more in there now...its been 20 years since I had it done.
