Have you ever had your ears candled?  Not sure that it is any more effective, but it is an alternative way to clean out some of the wax?

I haven't tried them. I'm afraid I'd set my hair on fire. Does it really work?

 :-\  It kind of depends I guess. I've tried it a few times in the past. I had a friend who learned to do it and so she used me as one of her test subjects to 'practice'. It was relaxing, but I'm not sure how effective it was for me. (But it was free!) She ended up giving up that 'line of work' but I would imagine someone who is good at it and with a lot of experience would be worth a shot.

I don't go to the doctor for cleaning.  I just use hydrogen peroxide every now and then then they get clogged.

I just use a Q Tip at least once a week. I have a little bit of a problem from my allergies but nothing that can not be taken care of with a quick clean.

I clean my own Ears every day. If I need anything to help get it out, I just buy the meds over the counter.

I do as I wear hearing aids and  having a professional do works better for me, as it is sometimes deep in the earn canal.

I have never had a problem with ear wax in my ears, I clean my ears regularly with a Q-tip

Hubby was told to have GP irrigate every couple of months and Never use Q tips.  In between he squirts vinegar into his ears while in the shower. Seems to work so far!

I use q-tips but not real often I don't usually have that much ear wax typically which I don't know if that is bad or good.  Now here is something weird my sister-in-law said her granddaughter's er was is  gray/black color now that is  new one to me.
