Never do it. I would use a ear wax remover kit. Pharmacies have them, I use one in a yellow and green box. Put drops in ears, wait 10 minutes, use the bulb syringe and warm water to rinse it out. Works like a charm .

Love all the opinions from those who have never tried it. HAHA..... I have had mine done once or twice/year for several years. It clears out my sinuses really really well.
I have never ever had a bad reaction from it of any kind -- unlike some of the prescription drugs I have used per doctor's orders.

My husband tends to get a lot of wax buildup in his ears which sometimes leads to infections. I started using ear candles on him which made a big difference - no more ear infections.
I’m assuming the warnings about them have to do with possibly being burned. I always followed the instructions which said to use a foil pie pan, cut a hole in the center for the candle, so as the candle burns down any falling ash will fall into the pan. I also covered him with a towel, etc. There was never a problem.

I had it done once about 15 years ago. I had to fly with a cold and the flight home killed me as my ears wouldn't "pop open" I suffered for 2 weeks and a co-worker told me he goes to a woman who does ear candling and it might help.
I went to her home. She put a lighted candle in my ear and gave me a wonderful facial massage, concentratiing on my sinus area, I kept thinking who on earth thought to do this how many years ago. It was a very soothing experience and she showed me how much wax was removed.
Long story short, one of my ears did pop open but the other one took another 10 days. I didn't go back to her but it is something I would do again.

I have ear wax issues. I go to my ENT two or three times a year to have my ears cleaned. Otherwise I get horrible vertigo.
I’d never do anything on my own to clean my ears. It’s not safe.

I build a lot of wax especially in one ear. My friend taught me and now my DH does it for me. I always get lots of old dry wax out. It has made all the difference in my not getting sinus infections anymore.

I used to do my daughters, she seemed to think it worked. I use peroxide in mine.
