- It is a normal hygienic procedure to clean our ears once every few days. However, not all of us know that ear wax can also indicate the state of our health. With the help of a Q-tip, you can check the color of your ear wax and understand what it means.

SUMMARY
Ear wax is not a body waste to get rid of regularly, quite the contrary - it's a kind of protection. It keeps the ear canal lubricated, therefore, prevents the ears from itching. Moreover, it prevents different pollutants from entering the inner ear. Even more surprisingly, this substance has antibacterial properties.
Our body is a clever mechanism. Did you know that when we chew, the movement pushes ear wax to the outer part of the ear? This way, your ears self-clean!
If your ears tend to produce a big amount of ear wax creating a build-up, you can take some preventive measures yourself.
- It's effective to use agents softening the wax. They can be mineral or baby oil, or ear drops. It is enough to put a few drops of these substances into your ear once a week to soften the ear wax and help it to come out faster and with ease.
- Another way to take care of your ears is to buy a special at-home kit for their irrigation. Follow the instruction precisely step by step.

Depends on how long you haven’t cleaned your ears... obviously!
Exactly. Darker color tone indicates prolong oxidation

I live in the city have never in my life had gray ear wax
“a q-tip can help you indicate your earwax color”
“DONT STICK A Q-TIP IN YOUR EAR”
Exactly what i was saying
Savannah Phillips exactly what I was thinking the first moment the video went on
I know right I literally commented that
@@WillBill6143 uyuy
Red earwax indicates that you're shoving a Q-tip into your ear so hard that it bleeds. DUH!
I have always been sick, never ever had Grey wax
Me too
Strength and blessings and love to you guys and everyone soldiering through
I not really sick. But I do have a disability. It's where I dont know how to go up the stairs on my feet, my fingere are really weak and I cant jump. I am 9 years old. Just wanted to share it.
@@tirtha7356 yes I did.
The lack of earwax all together is sign you're lacking certain essential fatty acids.
I burst out laughing from this video. I was wondering why I can't wake up despite the alarm 3-4 inches near me and then was told I had a "caring brain". Lol that was an unexpected yet funny answer!
Hi beautiful
That's why people that snore loudly usually deny that they snore at all. They have never heard themselves snore.
I was really happy I got a recommendations of (DR ADIMA) on youtube that cured me of my Lupus diseases. I used his herbal medicine in less than a month I swiftly recovered from this disease.
Wow thanks for sharing on this earwax topic! As someone who deals with excessive earwax, now sees this as a blessing and not a curse! I stopped getting my ears flushed out long time ago and just try to clean around and inside of the outer ear without pushing wax down into the ear canal. But , this can definitely become a struggle for sure..🙄

Why are people agreeing even though this isn’t a statement?
What a very helpful video. Also, the guys calming voice makes me feel like everything is going to turn out alright. Calming and relaxing I dosed off a little listening to this guys calming voice. Great video.
Okay, just a small PSA since some people seem to misunderstand this, Q-tips can be used to clean the OUTTER part of your ear, but you shouldn't push them down your ear canal. A Q-tip box even states that you shouldn't push them in your ear. Just use it to gently wipe away excess ear wax from the outter part of your ear.
True. If pushed too far into the ear it can make things worse.
I was really happy I got a recommendations of (DR ADIMA) on youtube that cured me of my Lupus diseases. I used his herbal medicine in less than a month I swiftly recovered from this disease.
Yeah it says that but yet we all still do it 😂
I wonder how many times in my life have I ever had white wax and just assumed my ears were clean because I didn't see anything on the Q tip.
Yeah fr
Im literally thinking the same thing

I love doing it with cold water on the Q-tip. And then it feels good. 😁

I have just been to two different doctors. One told me that I don't have any hair in my ears. I have constant ringing 24/7 . It's something I need to learn to live with.
I lived in Bangkok for 11 years (an extremely polluted city), and I never once had grey earwax!! Nor did my son or friends.
I'm a bit of a hygienist, so I often check my ears with cotton buds, so I was always aware of my ear wax colour.
I was really happy I got a recommendations of (DR ADIMA) on youtube that cured me of my Lupus diseases. I used his herbal medicine in less than a month I swiftly recovered from this disease.
Because you are NOT an Ethnic Asian... Duuuh!
Grey color? ?? I've never seen that, only light yellow to mid yellow
Jane cooper Same lol
Brown

Same or brown
Different races produce different wax
So what I've learned:
1. I need to go to the doctor

Thanks for this great information ☺️
I've been cleaning my ears with q-tips everyday since I was a little girl. Once I got older I learned we're not supposed to clean our ears with q-tips but I still do it anyway. It's habit! My ears don't get a chance to collect wax, and no I don't get ear infections or get sick often. I rarely get sick. Maybe I'm an exception?? 🤷
Jo Castillo this also happens to me :P
Same. I've never had any issues whatsoever.
Dude that's really bad for you. Thats like justifying smoking cause you did it before we knew it kills.
i do the same thing lol and i was told the same thing also. lol
Mikayla Stewart Dude, I'm 41 years old, get yearly physicals like I'm supposed to, and guess what? Nothing wrong with my ears. Who'd of thunk🤔

Yes I would have literally thrown up
They did use real photos though-
I barely clean my ears and Still have great hearing and don't have any infections.
Oh yeah! I also lost my hearing for a week too! It’s getting better now though!
Why are there quarters in my ears and how come I didn't know about them until my uncle removed them?

All I know is once I asked the doctor why my earwax was so sticky and dark am I sick?
they said it's no but it can indicate strong body odors. Then I felt self conscious because I do have strong body odor..
So what your saying is visit a doctor straight away in every case pretty much. Wow thankyou. I will make an appointment every week.

My ear wax is white so that's rare and kind of cool. I always wondered why my ear wax never was brown but I'm glad its still a safe color. Plus I eat many things with vitamins so nothing to worry about.

I had some kind of tinnitus in many years. It sounded like a fast-spinning washing machine. One day, I felt like some fluid was coming out of my ear. It was wax. After that the noise disappeared.. What a relief :)
Check Ya OMG I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM😭 the sound is so distracting especially when I sleep. How do I get rid of it?!
@@user-wb3jj7fv7h there's an ear flushing system the pharmacy sells
Check Ya You’re a lucky person. Wish my tinnitus was that simple to fix.
Tabatha Island If it’s true tinnitus you will have to wait like the rest of us. ‘They’ are still working on the cause(s). Some are known, like noise damage from loud music or explosions etc, & some theories are that it is more about the brain than the ear. A cure is nonexistent for now. Some places sell noise generators (like a hearing aid thingy) to mask it but I fail to see how that could possibly help. Some days it drives me nuts to the point of almost breakdown. 😞
Stella Q Aww man I’m so sorry to hear that you struggle with it, I know how frustrating the sounds can be 😫
Hopefully a cure will be found soon! For now I’ll keep doing my research to see how to minimise the sounds

Really? Maybe grabbing a Dictionary and learning to spell would be more beneficial than what color your ear wax is....for example: LEANT is NOT A WORD. The word you were looking for is LEARNED. "I learned a lot" as opposed to "I learnt". Learned is the Past-tense for Learn.
I trust I don't have to use it in a sentence & you are capable of learning to spell on your own. You're welcome Have a good night carry on

Hello
I felt like something stuck in my ear cannal. It feel like heavy and pain sometimes. It have blank and red color. Before that it was itching too much. It took 3 days already. What should I do? suggestion please.
You are never, never supposed to stick a q tip in your ear, or anything else for that matter. Pushing a q tip into your ear push’s wax further down into the ear canal and can lead to a blocked ear drum and or infection.
Then u just swirl the q tip instead?
Who cares at this point 😂
YES FINALLY A SMART PERSON
Yup. The body pushes ear wax out on its own I believe.
If I DON'T clean mine out every week I end up having to have them syringed, and that's bloody horrible. Especially after the nurse almost perforated my ear drum the last time I had it done 😑
Cleaning ears is a pleasant feeling😅😅
Yep.
Thank you for your instructions

Medics do NOT recommend putting Q tips into the ear canal. Basically, you shouldn't put anything smaller than your little finger into your ear
Robert Newell I use my Index finger and nails
Yet, you can get the same supplies that they use on Amazon and do it yourself, even ear cameras!

why is that
My ears are always itchy
I clean them regularly
And hardly ever have wax in my ears
My husband on the other hand can clean his ear every day and it's like he pulled a spoonful of peanut butter out. It's crazy.
Elizabeth Lambert Perhaps you are feeling a tickling sensation from the hair in your ears.
Phil Lewis that's what I get
Elizabeth Lambert my daughter had very dark waxy ears every couple of days...I've removed dairy, all fine and normal now clearly was an alergy
Elizabeth Lambert i have some kind of scalp/dandruff in my ear.(inside
Your ears are always itchy because you clean them too much. Earwax is normal, like the video said it's meant for protection. So if you always remove earwax your skin becomes dry and that's why it's itchy. Try cleaning it every other fifth day or every other following week.
thanks a lot of this information
