- I use q-tips but I don't have a lot of wax in my ears. (I've been checked often by docs and audiologists, yes) -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:13
- Q-Tips can only push wax in deeper. -- nm - nubby Nov 18, 07:13 6
  - well, that's obviously not "only" what it can do. it can also get wax out. -- nm - TFox Nov 18, 07:15 5
    - indeed. works fine for me. I've never had compacted earwax. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:16 4

        if I get a little bit of wax in there then put in my hearing aids, the tickling drives me INSANE. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 07:19 2
