My ear has been blocked up for several days. I can only hear about 60% of what’s going on, so life is highly annoying. I’ve tried ear candles in the past and since I think/thought that this might be a clogged ear wax issue {disgusting}, I decided to go the candle route.
If you’ve never used an ear candle before, you’ll enjoy this video showing my experience. Please disregard that I’m wearing pajamas – it was a last minute decision to chronicle this venture.

PS – my ear is still blocked up. However, there is ZERO wax in it. Q-tip came out completely clean. Tomorrow starts Sudifed/Advil in massive amounts. After that, I think I’ll see an ENT doctor.
Eeewwwwww. I’m a scientist and I just don’t get how it works. How does the wax get out of your ear and up into the candle? I must research this.
Wow. I give you major props for putting your earwax online. lol I was having the same problems with my ears. (I didn’t go the candle route, never heard of that actually) I had a lot of congestion too and I finally went to the dr cause I couldn’t take it anymore. He gave me flonase and put me on claritin D 24 hr. I never felt sick so I was thinking it was just allergies and stuff. Good luck, I hope you get to feeling better soon!
First: please do more video blogs because I love hearing your voice and it reminds me of the old times!! Miss you!
Second: I had the exact same thing as you. It’s not an ear wax build up, you have an inner ear infection which can only be cured up by antibiotics and time. Don’t waste your money going to a specialist. Just get your doc to call in an antibiotic like Cefuroxime Axetil. I promise you, that’s what it is. You remember my inner ear disease? Yea, that’s what it’s caused by and in turn, causes.
We’ve used the ear candles. We love the way it feels…the warm air and smoke rolling in your ear just feels good. Of course, a hair dryer would produce the same feeling. I really do think that the “wax” that the candle draws out of your ear is simply a by product of the candle…not wax from your ear. We “candled” all of my family…all four of us. The same amount of “wax” was in the candle after each person’s turn. Feels good…but it doesn’t really do what it says, in my opinion.
