ear hygiene

i know how to clean ears from ear wax, but does anyone know
of a way to efficiently clean ears from skin peeling
off
?

it's really annoying me, neither ear sprays nor ear candling
really are efficient (and q-tips do more evil than harm i've
heard).... : /

you shouldn't use q-tips inside the actual ear canal.
you'll impact the wax in there, and after time it'll harden
into a friggin' rock that can cause damage to your eardrum.

once it gets to the point of really causing a problem, the
only thing you can really do is go to a doctor and have them
flush your ears... from what i hear it's amazingly
uncomfortable, but it works like a charm, and you'll be
sickend by the amount of gunk that comes out of your ears.

i avoid those small earphones like the plague, plus they
always fall off, i hate them.
i'm not implying you were saying you use small ones though.


*must buy new cans*

Fall off? Try putting them in your ears instead of on top.
You should use those squidgy things, they help. And also
purge the gunk.

Moisturise

I'm assuming it's dry dead skin that coming off?

to balance them off the very tip of my ear but can't hear
much.i might put them on my head and walk very slowly.

I always wondered what people with abnormal ears do about
headphones. Now I know, you're the slow bastards who get in
my way every day!

tea tree oil on a cotton swab works well on the outside of
the ear. I use a intricately bent paperclip for the canal.
It has been especially engineered to optimize wax removal
while limiting eardrum perforation.

haha. awesome, the slightly bent at the end looped
paperclip is the tool.

*hi-5*

I have several different models discretely stashed under my
post-it note pad.

You are welcome to take one for a spin if you like.
