| I was wondering if there was a better way than q-tips. I feel pretty dumb asking this since I am a Registered Nurse, but I'm just not quite sure how professional musicians keep their ears clean and I want to know how. :) thx |

| Ive red about people that go get their ears flushed. I want that too. Q-tips are no-go. U only push stuff longer in and it gets harder and harder. |

| You can get a Dr to use a syringe to suck it out. Q-tips like once a week are fine. Pushing it back in is what people tell you to scare you away from using them. Yes you do push some of the wax back but that's why you use them right after a hot shower when the wax is very soft and sticky. |

| u get these drops from the chemist which u put in once or twice a day for couple of days to soften the wax.. then u go to doctors to wash them out... |

| there's an ear cleaning solution that uses a tiny bubble syringe, i've had the same bottle for a year, use it twice a month before a shower. q-tips are extremely dangerous, don't do it! |

I´ve used q-tips all my life, and have never had any problems. But I realize
there could potentially be some issues using it, if you´re not careful! |

| I thought that's what Q-Tips were for? :\ is it more dangerous that you'll damage your hearing or that you'll poke your brain? |

I use a 1% solution of hydrogen peroxide. You can get it anywhere, Walmart, CVS. I use an ear syringe to put the hydrogen peroxide is my ear. I guess that's what you call it, it's a rubber bladder with a pointy end, that you squeeze to suck up liquid or squirt it out. Let the peroxide stay in your ear for about 3 minutes. It fizzes so can get quite loud. It neutralizes ear wax. After that, I wash my ears out with warm water, using the syringe again. Then I put straight alcohol into my ears, to dry out the water.
You can also buy the ear cleaning kits, usually labeled "wax softener". I only use those when I get a totally clogged ear, which has happened only once.
Speaking of which, I'm due for a good ear cleaning. |
