“Tickling" ear wax--ever happened to you?

[Anonymous]

So, today I felt something moving inside and tickling my ear.

I immediately think that it's some sort of bug.....and rush to get it out.
When it came out, I discovered that it was a cluster of semi-dry ear wax plus dead skin cells.

It was so ticklish. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Excessive ear wax runs in my family (although it seems to have skipped me). My son would tell me about a little bug in his ear. When he goes for his checkups once a year, the doctor always pulls out chunks and balls of ear wax. Ewww!

I get this, and hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

I don't even have a lot of earwax, and it isn't the chunky/flaky kind but the greasy kind.

Are you the same OP who started the thread about the potato chips bag and kissing?

I have the watery tickling kind. I can feel it rush in my ear canals at random times - it's horrible. I constantly feel like I need Qtips. I hate it.

I have this. I clean my ears twice a day. DH thinks I'm insane. I'm not sure he ever cleans his ears, and he doesn't understand what I mean when I say my ears feel wet or dirty.

I have lots of ear wax too. When I go to the doctor I get a special cleaning that do with warm water - it's awesome.

Can you share the name of your doctor? There was a poster on a similar thread recently who was looking for someone who does ear lavage.

Omg I want to do this so badly.

Yes! And sometimes when I use a q-tip I pull out a piece of dark ear wax dried in the shape of part of my ear canal. So strange!

You can do it yourself with Debrox

I have a water pik for teeth.
Same thing my Doctor used to use when I was a kid.

Low setting warm water, cleans it right iut.

When i was a kid and went to the doctor
He would do this and things would come out
That resembled olive pits.

So gross!

I Use the water pik every 2 weeks or so

It isn't a good idea to use a water-pic yourself. You can't see what the dr or nurse sees so you can't aim it properly. Water-Pika can do serious permanent damage. Use Debrox and an ear syringe.
