I was in some airy fairy gift shop today and saw ear candles and started =
wondering what "we" (of the piano tuner persuasion) think of such a =
device?
Everyone I know who has used ear candles says they're just incredible, =
that even
if you clean your ears regularly, these things manage to extract all =
sorts of
gunk out of there, thus vastly improving your hearing. Thing is, you're =
only
supposed to "ear candle" once or twice a year because your ears produce =
wax as a
protective measure. So, my thought/question is that maybe ear candling =
*isn't*
such a great idea?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
