Pardon my ignorance, but I thought that wax had to be melted before it can be drawn up through the wick. Why not just go to a drug store and buy the Murine kit. It's not as new-age as sticking a lit candle in your rear (umm...ear) but it works nevertheless.
Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening?
This is no joke! Ear candles are a great way to clean the excess wax from your ears. My family all did it this past weekend and WOW, what a difference! I had to turn the volume down a bit. Anyone ever try them? Joe
