the type of earwax you have comes down in part to your skin type, Dr. Shapiro explains. People with oilier skin may have wet earwax, while those with drier skin tend to have dry earwax, she says.
People of East Asian descent are more likely to have dry earwax, while wet earwax seems to be more common with everyone else
That’s one way to spend your weekend.
The best discovery in my life is something called the Elephant Ear. It’s a squirt bottle for getting water behind your earwax and pushing it out from the back
Hydrogen peroxide dissolves it, when the bubbling stops it’s done.
I just recently discovered the use of peroxide in this way. It’s cheap and works better than anything else I’ve tried.
This seems to be a plant… Can you provide a link or something?
As a kid, I had really bad earwax and had to go to the doctor because it was affecting my hearing. They used this and it was life changing.

I’ll continue to live dangerously via Q-tips. Been doing it since I was a child, and no doctor’s told me I’ve irreparably damaged my ears yet.
The trick with Q-tips is to not go far. I mainly use it to clean the initial part of my ear and only rubbing it in a circular manner to prevent cramming anything in there. If I find myself the need to go deeper, I will use eardrops.
