I clean the outside with soap and water and use a Q tip but never push it into my ear canal.  I have no problem with wax.

My husband on the other hand has a big wax problem.  He was advised by his doctor to use a rubber bulb syringe and to flood his ear canal with hydrogen peroxide.  Hunks of hardened wax comes out.

He now uses an electric water powered ear wax remover he brought from Amazon.  He says it works well.

He uses a reaming device too.  This man makes more ear wax than anyone I know.  He is also hard of hearing and wears hearing aids.

@Carmie I could not use that device it really hurt my hearing for a few hours

@I am still oxox, I understand why you are asking this question.  They sell on Amazon a product called an ear dryer.  It is a small battery powered device that blows a small safe amount of air into the ear canal for drying excess water.

In the meantime, you can just take some tissue and fold it in very small creases and try to insert to soak up any excess moisture without hurting ear canal. 

I am sorry that some responses can be so insensitive and cruel.  (Maybe she just wants to be helped).  Have a nice day.

Are these real questions?  Do you not know how to clean your ears or when to wear underwear or how to handle getting a mammogram?

@Bri369 Huh if I didnt have questions I would not ask them, life is full of questions and I did not ask how to get a mamogram, Learn to read and comprehend

I am sorry @I am still oxox 

That was a VERY rude response you got.  Don't they say 'there is no such thing as a dumb question?'

@RespectLife, I think @Bri369 received a rude response. 

And the more I experience life, sometimes I do think there is such a thing as dumb questions. And I think many of life's questions can be found with a modicum of research.

I started using baby qtips safety swabs that I purchase on Amazon. They have a very large, soft tip on them that I only use at the ear opening. I do not put them in my ear. I hope this helps.
