I've used the warm water ear wax removal system for decades...thick peroxide drops in the ears, a rubber ball thing to squirt water in there and the wax just comes out. Easy and effective. I NEVER stick a q-tip in my ears...never ever. The warnings regarding ear wax remaining is for idiots who don't use the stuff properly, and to bring you and your money into the doctors office needlessly.
Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s
Get your ears dewaxed at least once a year. After I had the procedure I had to wind back the volume on my amp and iPhone by about 30%. Detail improvement was also incredible. Much cheaper than a $5000 DAC.
