I've always heard that earwax taste good on bread...if I were you I would save it in a jar and collect it so you could easily spread it on your morning toast!!!

I'd get it cleaned out. Go to an ear specialist. Had this done once. You wouldn't believe the amount of wax in there.

Some people accumulate more ear wax than others. I need to get my ears blown out every few years..... and it's about the size on an acorn when it comes out. An ENT doctor will take care of it in no time...

And yes, I clean my ears! Q-Tips just make it worse!!!

It did because it made my tinnitus disappear.

For people saying they get more when they talk on the phone or listen to headphones, etc: Maybe it's not that you have more earwax, but simply that the sound waves knock more of it loose to bother you.

http://www.dotpharmacy.co.uk/upear.html - Excess ear wax may be the result of three events: 1) the physical structure of the external auditory canal; 2) either excess cerumen production or abnormal secretions (softer or drier); or 3) impaction due to repeated attempts to remove it with a cotton bud.

When swimming, shampooing or bathing, water may become trapped behind the wax and this may result in unusual sensation and hearing loss.
