Answers:
Actually, and this is kinda gross, excessive earwax is a good thing, and its soul purpose is to prevent entry into the ear from the outside environment, it flushes the ear canal as well. But, society being as it is today, "dirty ears" are nasty, so you could buy an ear wax removal kit from walmart, works okay, or you could flush your ear with a simple saline solution (it would work just as good). Just try to make sure you allow the excess water to drain from the ear. Good Luck!Health Question & Answer

you can take a wet washcloth and wipe around the outer ear, but don't put anything in it (like a q-tip). inserting a q-tip can actually push the earwax in and make it worse. it can even get completely compacted where it is hard to hear. if you feel you have an excessive amount of earwax, you could buy some earwax removal drops or talk to your doctor to have them cleaned out.Health Question & Answer
