On a serious note... People seriously need to clean our ears our regularly. It is something we can easily forget about over time. I am just as guilty of not doing this. I use the very thin wire that hangs Christmas ornaments and take one end of it and roll it into a j shape at the end. No pointy things go in your ears by the way.. And go in as far as long as it just barely starts to feel a bit uncomfortable. No more than that. Should not be really painful at all. Just a touch uncomfortable only. I will say doing this has worked for me very well. And yes I've been very surprised how much I got out. One time ten years ago I got a whole bunch of stuff out. Again, we may not think to do this routinely but even when we don't work in dusty, dirty environments it is surprising how much stuff can build up over time. Clean ears hear a lot better than ones filled with stuff. Q tips are ok as well but should not be painful in using them. My step father hurt his ear drum a good bit by using a q tip.
