if I don't Q the ears once a day it's not a good day. I don't care what the health critics say

5. I wear hearing aids...
and those foreign objects in my ears produce a lot of wax. When I was a kid and tried to get fitted with molds, the audiologist said they couldn't do it because of all the wax.

I went in to the ENT doctor and he dug in my ears and popped them out. I swear to god, my ears popped like a champagne bottles!! When they scooped out the wax.Pretty wild!

Ever since then I have become a Q-tip addict and keep my ears super clean!!

7. Two things better than Q-Tips....
First, I wear earplugs when I sleep because I work nights and sleep days, so those alone clear out lots of wax because the wax adheres to the 'plugs when I remove them. Buy a container of 60 'plugs and they last for months. Second, I bought some large plastic syringes (as in 2oz size) at a local pharmacy and I use them to wash out my ears when I feel too much wax in there. Last time I irrigated my ears because my hearing was a bit off, a piece of wax the size of a pinto bean came out of my left ear. I am not kidding.

12. Eargasims....
That's what I call that satisfied feeling I get from of digging a Q-tip much further down my ear canal than is recommended. :D

I have liquidy waxy ear and allergies, a lethal combo -- any little bit of wax and my ears are itching like crazy.

I feel about Q-tips that Chuck Heston felt about guns! Pry'em if you dare! :D

15. I like to stick them in one ear.
Tilt my head and catch it as it comes out the other ear.
