As a long-time sufferer from excess ear wax, I found this kind of cool. But with regular hot water flushing and the occasional use of a Chinese "scoop" I have been able to hear better and my ears don't stay wet as long inside.
The first time I had a problem with it I thought I was loosing my hearing. But after 20 minutes at the doctor they removed enough ear wax from each ear to fill a thimble. It was like a built-in earplug. When they pulled it out, everything was very LOUD for about 2 days until I got used to it again.

I must be lucky that my pinkie is sufficient.

Q-tip after each shower. I know, they tell you never to use one. But been doing it for 40+ years now and have yet to lose my hearing.
What?

In case it didn't get posted in the regular forum, http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-new … ck_check=1 " fans of ear picking gleefully talk about "ear-gasms."
I visited Hong Kong years ago. I bought some jewelry at a gold shop, and got an ear spoon as a free bonus gift. Despite the potential for a thrill, I've never tried it.

Google didn't help, but I've got plenty of friends in the (extensive) Viet community who can probably help me. I now have a mission.

Once a month I put in a pair of those foam compressible earplugs and wear them around for an hour or so. Just wearing them warms up the earwax making it soft. After that you just pull out the earplugs and discard. That always gets about two or three times as much earwax as a Q-tip ever does for me.

Please, have someone who knows what they're doing stick an ear spoon into you, perforated eardrums are no laughing matter.

Me, too. One of life's little joys and phooey on my physician friends who insist you use nothing smaller than your elbow. Why a probing q-tip makes you cough, though, I've never understood.
No, I don't collect my farts in a can, belly button lint, monster toenails, crunchy boogers, or extracted teeth. And once a month, I scrape my zit trophies off the bathroom mirror, whether it needs it or not. Yes, ladies and germs, fnord's partner has the patience of a saint.
