It makes me cuckoo and gets worse in spring time. I've even tried using vibrations from a massager to make the itching stop. It worked for 10 seconds, but came back just as bad.

I've been putting lotion on Q tips and putting that in my ear recently-last 6 months....it works OK but nothing takes it away, ya know??

Keep on keepin' on...

... and they both say they wouldn't do it again.
I always thought I would like to try it as well, but they both didn't like it at all.
My best friend did it because her ear was all plugged up, and she didn't find any relief afterwards AND for like 2 weeks - a month she had this black stuff coming out of her ears. It wasn't very nice.
My sister's mom said the same thing, that she thought she'd feel better but she actually felt her ears were more uncomfortable after she'd had it done and she had the same thing with weeks of this nasty stuff lingering around in her ears.

I will definitely not be trying it, even though at one point I thought it sounded great!

My doctor told my Dad to heat up a little bit of olive oil and put that in his ear when it was bothering him... It didn't end up working so he went to a clinic and they used some water thing to sloosh (??) it out, but it's worth a try!

Cheers!

Don't do this. I did and ended up with some ear issues afterward! I started getting ear aches and a infection. YUCK!!!
