    I've done my own ear candling for years, but I don't recommend that to a first time user. I'm fortunate to have a window to open in my shower which helps alot! It is better to do this as a two-person endevour. I use the ear candles on my husband at least twice a year, as he has a tough wax buildup. He thought I was nuts when I first suggested ear candles, but after using them on him for close to 10 years now, he recommends them to others!

    My oldest daughter used to laugh at us, but then she developed an intense earwax buildup in college. I did the procedure on her during a visit home ~ now she's a believer too!

    If we go too long without using the candles on my husband's ears, it can take two packages to thoroughly clean his ears out. If the wax has been compacted (Q-tips are NOT for the inside of the ears, I remind him) or has hardened, it often requires two sessions to draw the wax up. Continue on, because it will happen.

    The best procedure that I have found: cover a paper plate with aluminum foil, cut a hole in the center, insert the end of the candle through it. Place an old towel on the recipient's shoulder then have them sit at a table in a well ventilated area (a porch or back deck at the patio table is ideal, even in the kitchen next to an open window) with their head down to one side. Keep a dish of water, & a pair of scissors on the table next to you. I'll often cover my work area with a piece of aluminum foil.
    Sometimes I will enlarge the hole at the ear-end slightly so it doesn't collapse and close.

    After the person has laid his/her head down in a comfortable position on the table (sometimes a rolled up towel makes a good cushion from the hard table), insert the tapered end of the candle slightly into the ear - not too deep - at the angle suggested in the package directions. Light the upper end of the candle (I use the long lighters for the fireplace) and keep the scissors handy.

    As the candle slowly burns, make sure to cut the ashen, sometimes glowing, end and carefully lift it like a tweezer and place it in the dish of water. Do this until the ear candle is 3 - 4 inches from the paper plate. The person who is receiving the candling should hear a sizzling sound when the candle is about halfway down. If this doesn't happen, and the first candle is not filled with much dark colored wax (cut it open, it helps to check it out), you may want to go ahead and do a second one.

    Hearing is sharper after this process, plus often itching inside the ears or sinus issues are relieved.

    My husband used them. He observed no difference in hearing or feeling but whoa! Look at that wax! My daughter (for whom I bought them) used one on her sore, stopped up ear. No effect, but whoa! Look at that wax! Being uncertain, we burnt one without sticking it in an ear. Whoa! Look at that wax!

    The wax is coated on the inside of the lower candle. We could even see marks where the wax was melting and running down.the inside. I am irritated, almost angry that I wasted money on these things.

                    To all the previous reviewers who said it doesn't work, I think either your technique is wrong (need to lay your head down on it's side with the ear candle pointing up toward the ceiling, for example) and/or you need to use more than one candle on each ear. When I tried it I saw the wax inside the candle after cutting the remaining part open but I was still skeptical. Coincidentally, the next day I had an appointment with my primary care physician for a routine physical. The doctor used an ear scope to look in my ears. After looking in the first ear he started to go to the other but stopped and went back to look in the first, then he looked in the other ear and said "Wow! You don't have any wax in your ears. Usually people have at least some wax." I laughed and told him that I just used ear candles the day before!

                      These candles are a great way to clean out the ear wax that accumulates in my ears. These save me a lot of money at the doctor's office.

                      When things get a little stuffy and my hearing is not up to par, I go for the candles. This is a two person procedure and I suggest you read up on how to do it beforehand. (CHECK OUT YOUTUBE.) It's not hard but must be done in a well ventilated place, have necessary correct supplies at hand and an aware person helping & watching the process. It will suck out the deep down wax and other debris out of your ears. Afterwards apply Wally Oil generously to complete the process & stop the itch. You would be amazed at what comes out. I use no more then one candle per ear at a time.

                            I bought these and couldn't wait to try them. I tried them, cut one open, and thought "Wow! these must be so effective, due to the amount of wax. Being a skeptic, I thought "let me burn one without sticking in my ear." well...same results LOL. Buy these and you'll see. Put one in your ear, and then burn one without putting in ear, then cut both open. LOL Fun but useless
