Two points to make: they were not "Q-Tips" which is a brand name; and you're never suppose to put anything in your ear...just the outside of the ear opening. As any mother would tell you.

OK Mommy, my ears were itching bad a little while ago so I sprayed one
end of each cotton swab with a generic Bactine and used it to clean out
my ears. The pain killer and antiseptic put a stop to the itching and
cleaned up any scratches caused by my fingernails when I was going nuts
scratching my ears. ^_^

How about sticking it up your ass? You can do that can't you? That's not
too dangerous is it? Give it a try if your mother will let you.

Yes, the Chinese have been sending us junk. I am as guilty as the next guy,
I was in Harbor Freight recently, buying more flashlights. I can stop any
time I want.

That's creative, with the cotton swab in antiseptic. I use hydrogen peroxide
to loosen the ear wax.

I'll shop the dollar store but not buy anything that is consumed or used
as medicine. I've had a few dealings with Chinese manufacturers and
some of them don't even know the full content of ingredients in their
products.

Healh insurance can be really expensive, but I have something you can
afford, Q-tip insurance. Only 15 dollars a year, and it will pay
for your new Q-tips and any medical bills resulting from them.

A very good deal. Write me at misc 07 at big foot dot com (remove
the blank spaces) and I will send you an iron-clad policy.

The policy is underwritten by Q-Tip of Omaha.

Everyone knows that.

The OP needs to immediately disclose this dangerous practice to his
health insurance company. He probably won't be able to get insurance
anymore.

And also immediately disclose to the girl friend. She is likely to
abandon the 'damaged goods'.

Disclosure is also required to future acquaintances. Why would they
associate with anyone that can't even follow a mothers advice.

As one ages, the ear hairs grow denser and and no longer move
earwax to the outside ear as well as a child's.

Geezer tips:

Never put anything smaller than yer finger in yer
earhole. Let the hairs god gave you move the natural wax to yer outer
ear. If you use q-tips in old age, possibility of driving earwax
deeper in ear and compacting it. Digging out earwax plugs can be very

Trim yer ear hairs! I've seen geezers with more hair in their ears

I don't think she used q-tips on her own ears.

When she got to be about 85 she started getting wax remaining in her
ears but prior to that it never built up. I'm told that's typical for
people and cleaning isn't necessary.

out of the water, it felt like there was a big slimey sea slug in my
ear. Not wanting to pull it out, and leave most of it in, I went as
planned to another location and tried snorkeling again. The animal
left.

Years later, there was a clicking in my ear, even 10 seconds or so. I
thought an insect or another animal was in there, and a half dozen
times I poured peroxide in my ear to kill it. But it survived. My
friend couldn't see it, and she said it might be wax. She threatened
me if I didn't go to the doctor -- I had no insurance then -- I would
wake up one morning in excruciating pain. This had happened to
someone she knew. So I bought a little tube of stuff meant to
dissolve ear wax and used that a dozen times, waiting much longer than
the instructions said. Only once did wax come out, and then only a
little.

Then months later in my other ear, it sounded like popping popcorn, at
the summit of the popping, especially if I turned my head down. I
tried the wax drops on that too.

After about 6 months in one ear, and 2 months with the other ear, the
noises stopped. Except one time, one click, a few weeks later,
when I realized it was a eustachian tube tick, in each ear. All
along. No insect, no wax.

That was 3 or 4 years ago and no noises since. Very strange.

Back in the 80's I was living in a rural area and woke up one night with
a crunching sound in my ear. I took a paper clip, straightened
it out so I had the small loop on one end and carefully probed inside
the noisy ear. An ant came out on the paperclip, she had been munching
on my earwax. It was a unique experience. o_O

After swimming I tend to get ear infections Its been this way my

Doctors look inside then clean the area, put in antibiotic salve, and
have occasionally packed my ear with cotton material........

cleaning my ear prevents lots of pain

Ya' gotta be smarter than yer ear.

Only an idiot cleans his ears by sticking things in them. It's
dangerous and *NOT* necessary,

Be careful. One of my brothers got an ear infection from swimming. He
spent 10 days (?) in the hospital over it.

Doctors did a skin graft with skin off his ass, into his ear. His ear
infection was serious. Would not heal easily, so he was hospitalized.

I clean my ears by putting a stream of warm water in there.
Started doing it myself when I could be trusted to not stick the bulb too
deep
Works fine, dries quick, no problems

It's not difficult to tilt your head sideways while taking a shower
and the result is the same.

I have used my dogs ear medicine, it works better than the human ear
meds to fix ear infections....

You'd be surprised at how effective pet meds can be on humans. Two that come
to mind are Ampicillin (for fish), and Lactulose 10/15 (for kitties).

The latter (human dosage is 5ml) is a stool softener used to treat
constipation. How it works is very interesting.

Lactulose is a sugar that cannot be digested by the human system. The
bacteria in the large intestine, however, LOVE the stuff and eat it like
crazy! In so doing, these bacteria call on the body for more water. More,
more, more, they shout. Your body responds by flooding (well, almost) the
large intestine with fluid thereby softening the stool and helping to
relieve your constipation.

Lactulose is sold OTC in Europe and most of the world, but requires a
prescription in the US. Go figure.

That's creative, with the cotton swab in antiseptic. I use hydrogen peroxide

I did have the ear drops containing glycerin and peroxide along with the
rubber bulb used to squirt warm water into your ears to flush them out
but now I'm seeing "WaxVac" ear wax vacuum cleaner for sale at drug
stores and Wallymarts. ^_^

I've only had a problem once in my life (in college) and have never
had to stick anything in my ear canals.

I wanted to try snorkeling so when in Florida, I did, and when I got
out of the water, it felt like there was a big slimey sea slug in my
ear. Not wanting to pull it out, and leave most of it in, I went as
planned to another location and tried snorkeling again. The animal
left.

Years later, there was a clicking in my ear, even 10 seconds or so. I
thought an insect or another animal was in there, and a half dozen
times I poured peroxide in my ear to kill it. But it survived. My
friend couldn't see it, and she said it might be wax. She threatened
me if I didn't go to the doctor -- I had no insurance then -- I would
wake up one morning in excruciating pain. This had happened to
someone she knew. So I bought a little tube of stuff meant to
dissolve ear wax and used that a dozen times, waiting much longer than
the instructions said. Only once did wax come out, and then only a
little.

Then months later in my other ear, it sounded like popping popcorn, at
the summit of the popping, especially if I turned my head down. I
tried the wax drops on that too.

After about 6 months in one ear, and 2 months with the other ear, the
noises stopped. Except one time, one click, a few weeks later,
when I realized it was a eustachian tube tick, in each ear. All
along. No insect, no wax.

That was 3 or 4 years ago and no noises since. Very strange.

My ears do that too. I love allergy season,
changes pitch.
