We going to be discussing whitlows or toe jam next?

Wait...toe jam?!

On second thoughts, forget it. I don't want to know!

I'd say moderately waxy. There's certainly some, and I have to clean off my foamies every once in a while (I'd say once every couple weeks, wearing them more or less every day). But it's not pouring out of my head.

I use alcohol and q-tips to carefully wipe the outer parts of my ear. I guess I don't make to much of it, because my iems rarely come out with any on the tips. lol

"BITTER"? Does that mean you've tasted it before?

I have an industrial waste truck come by each month, to pick up and dipose of my 55-gallon drums of excess....

I just had impressions made today. To my surprise the audiologist found little to no wax in my ears. I clean my ears in the shower and use a kleenex and Q tip when I get out, but I've never had a thorough cleaning. She also told me I had extremely soft ears- not sure what that meant, maybe it was some sort of audiologist pick up line that went over my head.

Anyway, I don't have to clean my e500 tips very often- maybe once every 2 weeks or so.

I am moderately waxy too. I clean my ears daily and my IEMs occasionally. I haven't had anything real disgusting like some of these stories but at the same time they can be a little scary looking on removal.

'My ears have a very small amount of wax'
'I'm moderatly waxy; clean IEM's occasionally'

Hmmm which one...I clean them after I take a shower everyday and usually it just looks yellow.
But when I'm away from home for a few days(like now) then usually I'll get a chunk in one or both ears.
