This guy should get into the audiobook business. His voice is really relaxing.

[BornofaJackal]

I think he could hypnotize the wax out of my ear.

0:47 if "somebody" has been using a q-tip in there... he knows.

[gabackermann]

He should be an hypnotist. His voice put me asleep 5 seconds into the video... then I took an arrow to the knee and woke back up.

Close your eyes: Charlie sheen talking about ear wax

Side Note: It also depends on how bad the build-up is. Peroxide (or the over the counter stuff) may not get it all. But that's where Dr's can help out.

thanks im going to be going to a my Dr soon maybe next week because i have been having earaches for the past 2 weeks ever since i started the earaches i have watched this channel and never use cotton swabs in my ear again i wanted to confirm it i need to see my Dr so i went to my school nurse and the looked at my ear with otoscope and she looked at my right ear first because the pain has been on both ears and she said there is nothing wrong in my right ear but in my left ear she said there is a piece of something or she said a sliffer but i guess its a piece and she said i have to schedule a appointment with my Dr and get my ears flushed out like you said in the video to get it out i think it might be cotton from a cotton swab so now i am taking ear ache medicine to eais the pain

[Myslexia]

I want this guy to read to me every night so I can sleep.

[CuriosityRocks]

This guy is so cool and I want one of those ear models so I can put stuff in the ear canal and dig it out again. : D

[uberNoober_]

Yes you can. That's what I used to do a few years back.

[onlyashadow]

have compacted ear wax? BETTER FUCKING WHISPER

[jgme]

@imGoinGhetto yes you can but my experience was that i had a hole in my ear drum and we did it before i found out that i had a hole in mine so be careful when you do it check if you have a whole in your eardrum when you go to the doctors

Gosh, this doctor has fantastic bedside manner.

[assfuckedbyelephant]

I personally had to get mine clean when I was a little boy but I was so uncomfortable and scared after she did my first ear, I knew, after feeling like my inner guts of my ear would fly out, that I didn't want to do it with the other ear.  I ran out of the room and under a chair.  But its been years now and I feel fine.  My hearing has been tested and its ace, but I still have trouble hearing people but people have their own altered and different accents and that's probably why I ask them to repeat.  I feel like I wouldn't mind going back to the doctors for the cleaning.

[degucitas]

@imGoinGhetto yes, but dilute it will water and combine it with some baby oil or mineral oil. It can dry out the ear canal.
