thundersheep 03/04/12 10:54:00 PM #1:	I remember when I was a kid I was prescribed this stuff that I could drop into my ears and let sit for a while and then flush out to get rid of whatever was in there... I don't remember how well it worked, but I feel I'm due for another cleaning. Is it possible to get that type of stuff without a prescription? -- http://soundcloud.com/thundersheep/lunatic-asylum http://soundcloud.com/thundersheep/summer-rain <cite>thundersheep posted [p:872726] in What's...

-FFDragon- 03/06/12 5:22:00 PM #5:	Qtips are the WORST thing for ears. I impacted both my eardrums that way. But yes, you can buy ear cleaning kits at any supermarket or walmart type place. It's just some drops and a ball syringe for you to squirt water in there to dislodge the wax. Works wonders. -- If you wake up at a different time, in a different place, could you wake up as a different person?

Some people, however, produce more wax than others and over time, need to clean it out; A QTip is not how you do that. Buy one of those kits.
