I have come to the conclusion that headphones (the kind that cover your whole ear) cause excess ear wax. I realised this when I started wearing headphones alot. For you see, I never used to wear headphones, reason being that I didn't have a good pair, and the reason for that was because I stepped on my kickin' JVC ones when I got out of bed once (seriously I did!). But I recently got off my ass and bought some new phones. I have been wearing them alot, usually when i'm working on songs, which is almost all the time. So anyways, about a week or so ago I took my new pair of ear goggles off in the wee hours of the morn after starting a new track (which promissed to be quite a good track when finally finished), only to realise that my ears were sweating quite a bit and they were filled with wax! I'm not possitive that the headphones caused this strange occurance (maybe i'm just a freak), but I'll be doing more research on this topic, and inform you all of my results when done. Cheers Aron? |

Aron?: Yes... er.. no. I don't know, I used to own a fat pair of really good ones like your talking about, and I never had a "problem??" like that before. possibly its just you, or rather your ears. I don't know, I wouldn't be too conerned over it, ear wax, i think im correct, is like snot, body waste. .. or that "stuff" in your eyes in the morning, dust, dead skin.. blah blah blah.. what all else. Im sure of it. So.... take a shower and clean your ears I think. I clean my ears everytime I take a shower, maybe thats it. >:D |

I know an old person who dosnt clean his ears. the result is like a yellow stream from the ears and down a bit. dont do it. and by the way, i think i might know a bit to your wax problem, i just dont think i have it as bad as you. does this mean that we are two freaks, or that this is quite normal? |

No it happens to me as well. I had to go and get my ears surringed because m ears got extremely badly blocked up because everything solidified (slightly uncomfortable talking about this in front of everyone but I am telling you for your own benefit). Yes I listen to a hell of a lot of music, I spend a lot of time by myself and I wear my minidisc and nice collapsable sony headphones just as if they were another essential piece of clothing. I do not know why this happens but I reckomend you get it sorted before you think there is a big problem. Even as I type the insides of my ears are like extremely thick dry skin, like it has been grazed and is healing slowly. In both ears too. Very painful to touch. I kid u not it is an extremely unpleasant experience. |

ear wax is for ear protection against forgein objects/bugs trying to get in. of course excessive ear wax can mean many things. if this problem persists, see a doctor. |

Meh, I don't think it's a serious problem, I'll just use cotton swabs more often or something. I once pushed the cotton swab in my ear too far, and like stabbed my ear drum, or my brain or something. It hurt like a biatch! |

I find that while using cotton wool buds gives temporary relief, it usually actually make it worse... several hours after a good scrape I have woken up in the middle of the night with FUCKING itchy ears. Anyone know what the best thing to use is? I think you should steer clear of cotton wool buds! Get some Beyer 531s - they sound fantastic and don't give me waxy ears. |

Um, you can try Earex Extra and Olive Oil. They both do the trick quite nicely. Oh yes, Olive Oil is incredible for the ears. |

But it does become a problem trust me. Very bad indeed. Especially if you like your tunes as much as I do, which is probable. |

do'nt use cotton wool buds to clean your ears. it's bad for your ears they don't clean them properly and mostly jam/pack the earwax more tighly at the end which isn't good. best is to do nothing and if they get blocked go to the doctor to have them cleaned (unlikely this is more than once every 2 years). as to what's causing you to start noticing it. it think the wax was allready there but it started moving because of the combination of more warmth (earwax getting more flowy) and vibrations (don't turn your phones too loud, you'll regret that in a few years with tinitus) |

if you wear headphones for a long while your ears heat up and you create more lovely yummy wax to spread on your toast each morning :) best of luck. |

Earwax is natural and useful. It protects the ear aginst intruders as well as it provides a buffer against continuous exposure to loud or otherwise harmful sound. It's your inbuilt, intelligent and dynamic earplug system. Every now and then you have to have a proper flush of the ear to re-booth the system and it's then a joy to hear how intact your hearing actually is, if it's not drenched in tinnitus.. |

aww poor mimi...hey Co-existence how do you flush your ears. you cant just use tap water. ....can you? do you buy some form of drops ...like an ear version of optrex? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
You need get a peroxide solution, it makes a bubble-fizz and feels pretty good. Then you flush it out with water. You'll be amazed with what you find. |
