I need to buy some more Q-tips and clean my ears out today. I try to do it at least once a week, but I'm completely deaf in one ear and always get a little scared when I clean my ears that I might go too deep and damage the hearing in my good ear. A friend of a friend of someone I barely know became deaf in one ear when they were cleaning thier ears and had the q-tip in and then someone called and I guess they put the phone up to thier ear forgetting a q-tip was in...
-
clean my ears? ???
-
Is this a foreign concept or something?

well I clean the outside of my ears when I wash my hair...and you're not meant to clean the insides.
-
About once a week

Yes you ARE supposed to clean the insides of your ears, so you don't get dirt and wax build-up.
-
Every other day or so, its just part of my routine.
-
Sometimes you can see the wax in people's ears who are too weird to not clean them. Gross.
-
thats why you LOOK PEOPLE IN THE EYES when you talk to em. Duh!
-
If people have physical flaws that are there purely out of laziness they should fix it or they do not deserve to be looked in the eye!
-
Bi-weekly.
you dont want to over clean, causes issues down the road.
-
Real men use their fingers.

What sorts of issues?
-
You're deaf in one ear? Wow. I wouldn't fuck with the hearing ear if I was you... :(
A pinkie finger is good enough sometimes. Usually I just wash them with my washcloth while I'm in the shower. It doesn't go as far as a Q-tip, but the water breaks up any wax buildup
-
I scrub them with soap and washcloth in the shower every day, and I use q-tips everyday.
I HAVE to do it daily, or else I feel uneasy the rest of the day.
-
I do it every time I get out of the shower. Can't stand the feeling of water in there.
-
Do you brush your teeth in the shower?

How the hell do you have 5000 posts Phoenix? Go outside!

Do you? I did when I was pressed for time, but now I don't. I brush my teeth for a pretty long time though. Dentist's son :-\

This is a thread about cleaning your ears, it already sucks.
I clean my ears about once every couple of days, but that's because I sleep with earplugs on.

I've brushed my teeth in the shower for the past 4 years, ever since I had a roommate who did it. I love standing in a hot shower, so any excuse to stay in longer

everytime I get out of the shower

everytime I get out of the shower
So... once a month?

Yes, I brush my tongue and the roof of my mouth.
-
I don't get the teeth in the shower thing. I brush my teeth in the kitchen, because I saw some special once about all the fecal matter that gets in your toothbrush if you leave it in the bathroom.

You realize that the dishrag is the dirtiest thing in the house right?

redWOOD: Your ears do drain naturally, so don't rub the q-tip over the inside of them like crazy. Wait until there's a lot of stuff built up to the point of it being noticable (be it visaully, or the fact that you can't hear as well), then do it. The gunk on top is what you want to get rid of. Getting rid of ALL ear wax, even a small coat of it right on top of the skin, isn't usually a good idea. Your ears are supposed to, after all, have some (but not much) wax. Taking a q-tip deeper into the ear is like rubbing your skin on sandpaper. It's not a very good idea because it irritates your skin, which can and will lead to dryness and discomfort, possibly an ear infection.
Also, even though you will take a lot of wax out with q-tips, you are (without noticing or feeling) pushing some fluids and stuff further back into your ear when you put one in there. So don't do it very often, and when you do, be very quick and precise. I had two ear infections in early 2005. If your ears are feeling dry/irritated, the worst thing to do is use a q-tip. In that case, what you want to do is keep water out of the ear for at least a week. Meaning, buy cotton balls, rip them into smaller pieces and safely place them in your ears before bathing.
But as far as wax goes, only use q-tips when there's some serious wax buildup. And if your skin is sensitive (e.g. always needing hand moisturizer when the weather gets cold) that's a good sign that the skin inside of your ear is also very sensitive to irritation, so you definitely don't want to be rubbing q-tips against that skin every week, especially with cold weather.
Just don't be obsessive about getting every little bit of wax out; it's very rough on the ears.
-
Do I brush my teeth with the dishrag? Fuck no. Fecal matter sprays all over the bathroom every time you flush, whether you have the lid down or not. The kitchen cabinet is defintitely a cleaner place than the bathroom sink.
Also, I don't even USE a dishrag, I use a brush I put in the dishwasher with the rest of the dishes.

I too have been blessed with unholy earwax. One time my hearing in one ear was noticeably lessened for several months before I went to the doctor. I have had at times, large pieces fall from my ear without my knowledge of it's existence. Dark, black, attached to your brain type wax.
whiteACID, don't use Q Tips. Like you are afraid of, it is very common for accidents to happen. Even if you don't mean to go too deep, what if someone walked past you and jammed your elbow? Also, Q Tips have been known to push balls of wax deeper instead of removing them. Go to CVS pharmacy and buy this
http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=235822&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?page=1^Query=ear+wax^ActiveCat=65 (http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/detail?prodid=235822&previousURI=/CVSApp/cvs/gateway/search?page=1^Query=ear+wax^ActiveCat=65)
With this loop, I can freely dig in my ear canals without fear of pain. I can get so deep with this thing it makes my toes tingle. Fuck drops, fuck earwax removal systems, this is the mack daddy. Willco, is this similar to the chinese ear wax picker?

Your story made me cringe. I worry about that a lot.
I clean my ears everyday. The doctor's always told me that you're not supposed to clean any further than your finger can reach. So he suggested getting a damp paper towel, wrapping it around my finger and cleaning. Works for me. I've been doing that for about 3 years.
-
It usually comes out when I shave it.
-
"..."
every so often
-
Twice a day. Everyday.
Once after my shower with a Q-tip while my ears are still wet. After my ears are dry (air dry) I use an ear picker and scrape out what's left. :)

She was the one who wanted to do it!

First it's picking your ears, soon she'll be shitting in front of you.
Keep the romance alive.
-

Pics. Now.
And why didn't she respond to my question???
She hates me, doesn't she???
-
She doesn't respond to crude Internet flirtations.
-
It was crude? :(
And she knows I'm not serious. I respect her as an individual
*huggles*
-
That will only make her laugh at you more.
-
She laughs *at* me???
WTF?
She's supposed to laugh with me!
-
every night after a shower.
what comes forth from your ears redWOOD? i'm guessing sugar lumps and candy. :-*
-
Mostly tumors

So no one reads posts in this forum longer than 3 sentences right? I'll have to remember that one. Better make this last sentence count.
-
I don't give a shit about your anti q-tip agenda.
-
What's that?
I can't hear you.
I blew out my ear with a fucking Q-Tip.
-
I lollercoptered

well i dunno mang. i thought this was just a list of what fell out our ears.
-
What could possibly fall out of ears other than wax?
Seriously whiteACID, the loop is what you need. If I was your secret santa, I'd include it in your package :heartbeat
-
Wax is good for your ears.
-
That's another good point that's been mentioned only once in this thread. Some people make way too much wax though. I think mine is either the response to, or cause of, many bad ear infections as a child.
But yeah, the wax helps catch dirt and insects and keep them from getting into your ear. It's vital.

Probably too often. Sometimes just to get rid of the 'wet willy' from taking a shower.

I do it twice a day too. Don't use an ear picker though, I just use the Q-Tip (I usually use about 10 per ear)
-
I would irritate the hell out of my ears if I used a q-tip in them EVERY DAY.
You guys must get wax buildup like every 2.2 seconds.

It's pretty damned impressive, let me tell you.
-
I sadly get little lumps of wax coming out of my ears daily. So i have to clean mine everyday. Now can someone tell me why even with washing i got a funk behind my ears? I cant stand it. I want the funk gone. I use hot water and soap and that shit still stinks.
-
So who are you G? I'm curious now
