By 'eck that'll be Beyerdynamic

Advantages: excellent sound, comfort and durability
Disadvantages: none at all it even blocks outside noise

...Wanting a pair of in ear headphones in a bud like shape to help remove background noise when working out in the gym and jogging along main roads the Beyerdynamic DTX 50 were recommended to me by a friend who has used them without problems for some time. Having had the opportunity to experience the sound quality prior to purchase I had no problems parting with £47 for the wired headphones that have now for over 12 months kept my tunes pumped into my head and the outside world out. The buds sit easily in the ear and the rubber coating is really soft and acts as a barrier between the ear and the plastic sections that are really well made and rock solid which means the ultimate in comfort even when pounding away on the treadmill. The rubber also acts like a form of insulation from outside noise so even when drum and bass if banging away...

Earex ear drops

Advantages: A big help for hardened wax
Disadvantages: none

...Earache and toothache have to be two of the most uncomfortable conditions that anyone can suffer. The nagging pain of earache is very hard to relieve. Often as we get a bit older ear wax becomes a problem. The wax is produced in small glands situated inside of the ear canal, the glands produce a thin film of wax to keep our ears clean and help fight against any infection. If too much earwax builds up then that`s when the problem starts, my husband has suffered from hardened wax building up in his ears for a while now, it seems to be a problem that has worsened with age. If the wax builds up too much then his ear canals get really painful and the build up also starts to affect his balance and then he has to have them syringed by the Practise nurse at the local Doctors surgery. When you start to feel that your ears may be waxy...

Hopi Ear Candles

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

... ~ Introduction ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get them less than once a year but I was now getting them every week. So willing to try anything that might prevent a migraine attack I started having Indian Head Massage (IHM). I've been having them for over a year now and they do really seem to help. When I went last month I told the therapist that I have been having lots more headaches (I'm quite stressed) and I'm starting to get mild migraines (not half as bad as they were before I started getting IHM). She did the IHM as usual but suggested that I book a Hopi Ear Candle instead of the IHM. I agreed, so on Wednesday I went for the appointment. ~ What are Hopi Ear Candles? ~ The candles used at the place I went to are made by...

'Ear This Wax Lyrical!

Advantages: Goes some way to relieving excess ear wax. Lats a long time
Disadvantages: Difficult to count the drops. Not a miracle cure for lots of excess ear wax.

...■■■ Price and Availability ■■■ My GP advised me to buy these ear drops and given that a prescription is currently £6.85, she suggested that I buy it over the counter at the cheaper price of £4.79 at Boots. The ear drops can be found in most chemists and supermarkets with a pharmacy: Superdrug Lloyds Pharmacy Morrisons Asda Tesco ■■■ Packaging ■■■ This comes in a cylindrical box with a bit of additional card with the 'bumph' at the side of it. (Hopefully the photo will demonstrate this more clearly). Inside the box is a small, 8ml little tube. The tube has a sealed cap that is easily 'broken' by twisting the screw top cap, a good idea as it shows that the product has not been used or tampered with. Once the cap is taken off there is a small...

Ear, have a look at this!

Advantages: cute
Disadvantages: retired

...Over the years I have had many a collection. One which I adored was my TY Beanie collection! My friends and I all collected the soft and cuddly beanie teddies, so we were able to tell one another of our stories and most recent purchases, which was great fun. Between us we had most, if not all of the beanies out then, and I still have a few too. One of the beanies is a rabbit, who goes by the name of Ears. He is a cute little bunny, lying softly on his stomach. He is a very attractive colour too - a rich chocolate brown shade, with the insides of his ears and a patch on his nose being white. He also has a little fluffy white cotton tail. His little pink whiskers and beady eyes add to his cuteness - he is definitely one of the best TY rabbits as far as appearance is concerned. To the touch, Ears is very soft with his fine fur. If you...

Cerumol Ear Drops. Effective and easy to use.

Advantages: No horrid side effects, easy to use
Disadvantages: May not shift stubborn wax

...Review of Cerumol Ear Drops Why I Bought it Both my daughter and my partner have hearing loss, for different reasons, but they both suffer with the discomfort of hardened, excessive ear wax. The condition is uncomfortable for them as the presence of the wax can have the effect of lessening what hearing they do have. Unfortunately, a side effect of my partner's hearing aid is that it causes a build up of ear wax. Cerumol was recommended to me by my daughter's Doctor when she was little and I have since purchased it for my partner. The Product **Packaging** Cerumol Ear Drops are designed to aid the loosening and removal of ear wax. The product is for external use only and is a safer alternative to using cotton buds to dislodge excessive ear wax. The product is presented in a white and cerise pink cardboard box...

PARDON? I have something in my ear!

Advantages: Eases discomfort, gently breaks through wax build up.
Disadvantages: Feels funny during application

...As a child I was always prone to earaches so it was no surprise after a recent cough and cold that I was struck down with discomfort in my right ear. I noticed it when it was quite mild and wanted to stop it getting any worse and preventing a trip to the doctors. Hoping it was just down to waxy build up and not a more severe ear infection I decided to try out the Earex ear drops that we'd bought for our son earlier in the year. Earex ear drops are a gentle and natural remedy made up of 3 different types of oil- Almond oil, Arachis (peanut) oil and Rectified Camphor oil. The 10ml brown glass bottle has a screw cap featuring a dropper to apply the off yellow drops and comes in a bright yellow and blue outer card box. The combination of oils is designed to gently break through built up wax and clear it easing discomfort in the ear...

Hopi Ear Candling

Advantages: It Works, Wax Free
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...I found this whole procedure a little shall we say "odd" and perhaps "unbelievable". However I decided that as a friend was now qualified in the practice I would pay for the service. I am a sceptic when it comes to things like this and could not understand how burning a candle held into my ear hole would remove the wax and leave me feeling better. Described as "Quite different from conventional wax candles, a Hopi ear candle is actually a cotton tube, impregnated with beeswax, honey and therapeutic oils, that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities, relieve pressure in the head and sinuses, and aid hearing problems." I was advised before the treatment started that I may not visibly see any wax in the candle when it was unravelled but that the treatment would have dislodged earwax even if it hadn't removed...

Review of Hopi Ear Candles

Ear cigars!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Expensive and unproven, possibly dangerous

...Ear candling is one of the odder beliefs I have spent time reading about and investigating. Basically, ear candling or 'coning' is an alternative medicine practice (alternative meaning that it has not been proven to work, nor does it have any basis in science or rationality) that claims to be able to quickly and efficiently clear cerumen (earwax) from the ear. How does it do this? Advocates of the practice claim that the wax is pulled out by the burning of the candle. The candle used in this practice is a long hollow tube made of wax and fabric. The candle is inserted in to the earhole a small distance and then the candle is lit. Obviously, the person is lying on their side during the process. Most people who make these products will include some cloths and guards to prevent wax from hitting the ear or surrounding area. These are...

Review of Hopi Ear Candles

Unblock your ears and start listening again.

Advantages: Reduces the need for painful syringing
Disadvantages: No excuse for not hearing her indoors. The Dog won't kiss me becasue of the smell.

...I dedicate this op to anyone, who like me, has experienced the pain of earache. Although most husbands will rightly think, ?Ah a fellow married man, suffering at the hands of his wife?? I refer to earache caused by too much earwax. However since earwax is produced as the body?s defence against loud, unwanted noises? I have battled against ear pain for over a decade now. Since I become a nurse and had to use stethoscopes to take blood pressure readings, I have always found that they impacted my wax into my ear. This in turn caused countless infections and a build up of wax. At times, these afflictions have been incredibly painful and I?ve had countless syringing and vacuuming of my eardrum; both of which have been as equally painful and uncomfortable. That was until I came across Otex ear drops. To me they are a wonder drug. I...
