So my ear has been hurting for the last couple days, and I couldn't hear to well out of it either. Today I got the answer why... I pulled this thing out of it... (not the nickel :p )

Nasty Picture

Nastiest ball o' earwax I've ever seen. Just thought I'd share. And I can hear again!!

WTF, no way you pulled that out of your ear. If you actually did, you are a dirty dirty man who I never want to meet.

Q-Tips are actually probably part of the problem. By using Q-Tips, you keep on jamming more and more wax into the canal.

Optimally, you should use a solution to remove wax from your ear.

I suppose if you dont know how to use a Q-Tip then this would apply. I have used Q-Tips all my life right after my shower. Everytime I go to the doctor, I am always happy to hear the doc say that I have very clean ears.

Good for you then. I'm saying, as is the case if you ask many doctors, that people really shouldn't use Q-Tips.

It's much better for your most peoples' ears if they use a solution instead of Q-Tips.

Q-Tips FTW!!!

If you are using them and ended up with that you are not using them properly.
