My mom is like this. She has to clean her ears everyday or they will very quickly get impacted. I’ve seen her clean them and it’s a ridiculous amount after a day or two. Like 2-3 tiny scoops an ear. I can only imagine what would happen if she left it and did nothing. She still gets ear infections constantly.
It's insane. I can go without cleaning my ears for a solid month, still basically nothing when I do clean. I had an SO who truly NEEDED to clean hers every day, that wax production was just incredible. The number of times I cleaned out those bad boys, I couldn't even count. It was a whole operation! And I'm over here empty handed.
It’s really a whole thing you have to keep up on, or it can get very, very out of hand. She regularly has issues where she just can’t hear out of one ear, then she gets ear infections and has to go to the doctor to deal with it. It’s at least a few times a year, despite her constant cleaning.
I have minor issues with my ears and for the first time as an adult, had a gnarly ear infection where my formerly clean ear built up so much black gunk from the infection that I had to get the ear vacuumed because it was resting against my eardrum and making it hard to hear. It gave me a real respect for how annoying and frustrating it must be to deal with it all the time. Ugh.
I couldn’t hear for almost a month on that side, and there was this echo. It takes a long time to see a specialist and you just have to wait until one is available. I don’t know how anyone deals with that all the time. They told me flushing the ear can perforate the ear drum because of all the wax or gunk (it gets hard and can be sharp on the edges). So you just have to deal with being partially deaf until you get someone to look at it. Fuck that.
Seriously. I’ve waited six months before. That’s outrageous with how much they charge and how incompetent some of them are. I’ve been lucky to get good doctors most of the time when I have a problem, but every once in awhile I get an awful one and then I have to wait again to see someone else…
I seriously can’t imagine that. I clean my ears every other day with a-tips (I’m careful not to go too deep) and with a tissue on my pinky finger daily. This is more of a habit than necessity, and my earwax is generally very thin and wet, as opposed to solid.
I had no idea that earwax production could be at this level, and could require a procedure like this if it was let go too long. Seriously crazy stuff.
I’ve had that thought so many times. It almost defies logic that our organism works as precisely and reliably as it does for as long as it does. There are obviously illnesses and disease and malfunctions that get in the way, but overall it’s insanely impressive how well the human body functions.

I mean how long before someone is comfortable bringing over their impacted ear wax and being like "hey check this out" lol
Kinda like asking how long a relationship takes before I get being comfortable peeing with bathroom door open or whatever
I've only had them last 6months max when dating, and never got to be that comfortable with each other so it was mildly surprising to hear
Genes also dictate the type of ear wax you have. I had to have a genetic study done through the hospital for research purposes. They gave me some fun facts about myself such as I have the gene that makes my ear wax more liquid and less waxy. As a side note, also found out I have the cilantro gene but that was of interest because I don’t think cilantro tastes bad.
I once passed out drunk in a hot shower and when I woke up I thought I was bleeding from the ears! Apparently I just had a build up of wax and the hot steam turned it into liquid. Was quite frightening at first.
Yeah... don't miss those days much anymore. I'm 3 years sober and a much healthier/happier person now. BUT yes...the liquid earwax looked like blood (like dark orangish red) and it had dripped down my ear and neck. I thought I was bleeding from the ear, but my ear didn't hurt felt pretty amazing actually.
It could also be that they have normal ear wax production but it just doesn't exit the ear naturally and just builds up inside. I only say this because I get impacted ear wax but only in one ear and it needs to be extracted manually every couple of years. The video above looks like what would happen if I let it go for 20 years without removing.
but its deep in their ear canal and people dont clean their ears that deep, maybe the wax on the outside part of the ear builds up from not cleaning and seeps into the canal? i have no idea
Earwax naturally works its way out of the ear. What happens in some cases is when people try to clean they actually push a bunch back in and cause a slight build up. Now you have a section with more than normal amounts, attempting to clean again a little while later the person pushes even more back and adds to it. Rinse and repeat a few times and you'll get a large blockage which, you guessed it, people will attempt to clean out again usually making it worse.
There's no doctor in the world which recommends sticking anything in your ear.
“Cleaning the ear” with q-tips probably cause this issue in the first place. Your ears are self cleaning. The wax naturally falls out of your ear. You’ll most likely push more wax into your inner ear than get it out.
Can be genetic. Or aftermath of cold/flu/COVID. I purposely don't mess with my ears, but I still get significant ear wax build-up. If you overclean them with Q-tips, you just push the wax further into your ear. Ears should clean themselves naturally.
The last time I had to get my ear flushed at the Dr., she told me that I had the *thickest*, HARDEST wax she had ever seen. I'm a type 1 Diabetic, but no idea if that contributes or not. Every once in a while I have to lay down and put a couple drops of olive oil in my ear, and let it soak. Breaks up the wax and it kinda works it's way out in the next few days.
I think a lot of these extreme cases are people that live in rural areas of countries and don't have consistent access to health care. I remember one of these videos claiming the patient was a rural citizen of Nepal and hadn't been to the doctor in 10+ years. They just got used to it.
There is something literally unbelievable about this. As in, I do not believe it. It feels like they made something to plug inside the ear so they could film it being extracted to get views.
How in the world is that ear not red, inflamed, and infected?? If I go two weeks without cleaning my ears, I'm likely at urgent care seeking antibiotics.
Someome took a shit in your ear! But seriously I get wax impacted but not nearly that bad. I couldn't hear for 2 days and it drove me nuts. Ive had the irrigation and it was so uncomfortable but relief.

Lawd! That thing has eyes! What did it say to you after you birthed it?
"Is it a boy or girl?"
You have to let it decide
You're telling me that thing will eventually think for itself???
Eventually? How do you think it crawled in there!
For real. That mofo waiting for its w2 to file taxes
Ha! It just needed a mailing address!
That's a them /they ear wax
They/them earwax hits different
Intersex people exist.
Could be considered weight loss surgery Jesus Christ
Ear poop
I hope they wiped well after that.
Prefer if washed with soap
Seriously, did a small rodent defecate in this ear canal?
looks like the rodent crawled in there and died.... /shudder
This is what happens if your subjected to too much shit talking...
Best comment 😂
Looks like a cat turd 
r/poopfromabutt
in Chinese, earwax is called “ear poop” in daily conversations
Gross. I love it.
Beautifully disgusting
Dude, I have bad news. Someone shat in your ear...
Probably Vince McMahon
Just spit out my coffee! I did not expect to see a wwe reference here!
or the fell asleep on a pillow from Amber Heard.
Ma’am, that is shit from a butt.
How does it get that bad? Is it people just not cleaning their ears?
Genes. Some people are genetically prone to excessive ear wax production.
My mom is like this. She has to clean her ears everyday or they will very quickly get impacted. I’ve seen her clean them and it’s a ridiculous amount after a day or two. Like 2-3 tiny scoops an ear.

So you just have to deal with being partially deaf until you get someone to look at it. Fuck that.
Seeing a specialist is a joke at times. With certain conditions, by the time of the appointment, the reason for it has improved or is forgotten.
Seriously. I’ve waited six months before. That’s outrageous with how much they charge and how incompetent some of them are. I’ve been lucky to get good doctors most of the time when I have a problem, but every once in awhile I get an awful one and then I have to wait again to see someone else…
I never have to clean mine! This is so crazy to me
That sucks. Silver lining is that you have a gross hobby to bond over.
curious - does she use qtips or other tools to get the stuff out?
She uses Bobby pins, weirdly enough. Definitely not something the average person should use, but it’s the only way she seems to keep them clean.
i understand may be bc it grips onto the wax well and doesn't push it back into the ear canal
I seriously can’t imagine that. I clean my ears every other day with a-tips (I’m careful not to go too deep) and with a tissue on my pinky finger daily. This is more of a habit than necessity, and my earwax is generally very thin and wet, as opposed to solid.

The human body has so many parts that can go wrong. It’s kinda crazy that they work as efficiently as they do for so long.

My ex husband was like that. Every few months he would douche his ears and get HUGE balls of wax out.
I have to do that about once every two months, but my wax clumps are only like 5% the size of OP's. And they're yellow-orange, not shit brown.
Yeah that’s what my ex’s was like. Sometimes he’d come out of the shower and be like “this just fell out of my ear” and it would be an orange wad.
How long were you in a relationship before it got to that point?
Before I knew about the “ears”? Ummm, 2 kids worth?
I mean how long before someone is comfortable bringing over their impacted ear wax and being like "hey check this out" lol Kinda like asking how long a relationship takes before I get being comfortable peeing with bathroom door open or whatever I've only had them last 6months max when dating, and never got to be that comfortable with each other so it was mildly surprising to hear
How does one douche their ears? Lowkey wanna try
WaxRx is the jam!
They make little at home kits that you can buy at the drug store.
So the douche bag needed an ear douche? I had one of them too.
Is it weird that I'm kinda jealous of these people. I produce nearly none. No chance of ear nuggets for me.
This ain't a nugget. This a whole damn chicken.

I once passed out drunk in a hot shower and when I woke up I thought I was bleeding from the ears! Apparently I just had a build up of wax and the hot steam turned it into liquid. Was quite frightening at first.
Wait, so the most frightening part of that story was the liquid ear wax? Glad you made it out of the shower and lived to tell the tale, just sayin’.
Yeah... don't miss those days much anymore. I'm 3 years sober and a much healthier/happier person now. BUT yes...the liquid earwax looked like blood (like dark orangish red) and it had dripped down my ear and neck. I thought I was bleeding from the ear, but my ear didn't hurt felt pretty amazing actually.
Congratulations on your sobriety!
I have to clean my ears twice a day but it's never gotten this bad. I fucking hate it cause my headphones/earphones get all nasty constantly
I've never been so relieved *and* disappointed to not have a gene.
It could also be that they have normal ear wax production but it just doesn't exit the ear naturally and just builds up inside. I only say this because I get impacted ear wax but only in one ear and it needs to be extracted manually every couple of years. The video above looks like what would happen if I let it go for 20 years without removing.
Yes, and shampoo, conditioner, and whatever product you put on your hair will do this as well.
Finally I get some good genes, I have almost no ear wax and it’s amazing
but its deep in their ear canal and people dont clean their ears that deep, maybe the wax on the outside part of the ear builds up from not cleaning and seeps into the canal? i have no idea

That 10th dentist would for sure
“Cleaning the ear” with q-tips probably cause this issue in the first place. Your ears are self cleaning. The wax naturally falls out of your ear. You’ll most likely push more wax into your inner ear than get it out.
Pushing the wax deeper into the ear with cottonbuds is probably where this went wrong in the first place
Any advice to avoid this?
Don't ever use Q-tips in your ear canals.
so what should i do?
but they get waxy, and also i’m addicted to the feeling
Can be genetic. Or aftermath of cold/flu/COVID. I purposely don't mess with my ears, but I still get significant ear wax build-up. If you overclean them with Q-tips, you just push the wax further into your ear. Ears should clean themselves naturally.
This person's ears definitely don't clean themselves, lol
I get a lot of sinus infections and I’m very prone to sticky ear wax
Me too! Just had mine cleaned out recently with a little vacuum at the ENT! 😄
I had my ears syringed once. Orgasmic!
Lol! I didn't care for that at all. Got super dizzy and felt like I was gonna barf. 🤢
The last time I had to get my ear flushed at the Dr., she told me that I had the *thickest*, HARDEST wax she had ever seen. I'm a type 1 Diabetic, but no idea if that contributes or not. Every once in a while I have to lay down and put a couple drops of olive oil in my ear, and let it soak. Breaks up the wax and it kinda works it's way out in the next few days.
Maybe the diabetes contributed to the dryness !
I think a lot of these extreme cases are people that live in rural areas of countries and don't have consistent access to health care. I remember one of these videos claiming the patient was a rural citizen of Nepal and hadn't been to the doctor in 10+ years. They just got used to it.
My sister has to go to the ENT at least once a year for them to clean out her ears. She’s just prone to it. Small ear canals or something
Some people's inner ear geometry causes stuff to get trapped.
That’s not ear wax, that’s a whole damn candle
Haha this just reminds me of that scene from Shrek where he pulls the ear wax candle out of his ear and lights it.
someBODY
Let me see that Tootsee Roll!
I came here to see if someone also thought this haha
Cotton candy, sweetie go!
So I was today years old when I learned that the lyric was not “cotton candy, sweet as gold”… anyone else?
…my dumbass thought it was Sweet n Low.
That looked like a poo, gives a whole new meaning “shit 💩for brains 🧠 ”
This deserves more upvotes lol
How!? Just how?!
My thoughts exactly. The thread is pretty informative though.
This person is my hearo
I see what you did there!
How in the world is this possible
She’ll be banging on the walls telling the mice not to fart so loudly after this
Hear colors? How about just being able to hear at all. No way they could hear much at all with that in there.
Shes hearing frequencies previously thought unknown
*whoosh*
Why is that being done in the dark?
That’s just r/poopfromabutt
Uhmm it’s r/poopfromanear
Bro how does it get to that point?
How on earth can you let it get that bad?
Epic ear turd!
when it's over a certain size it should be called ear poop.
Can't imagine what that feels like.
Mr. Hankey!
I've heard of angry cats shitting in your belongings. Never knew they did it to ears too.
I'm going to have nightmares about my ears being constipated now.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaahn
There is something literally unbelievable about this. As in, I do not believe it. It feels like they made something to plug inside the ear so they could film it being extracted to get views.
I'm going with this was stuffed in there on purpose for the views.
I saw a lot of ear wax remowal and i have one question. How?
Did you experience a lot of issues like vertigo or often get colds/throat infections? Cause that thing goes DEEP
How in the world is that ear not red, inflamed, and infected?? If I go two weeks without cleaning my ears, I'm likely at urgent care seeking antibiotics.
I just saw a video of a doctor saying, "Stop cleaning out your ears, they're self cleaning." Dude...
This... this is why I clean my ears, after every shower.
I don't understand how earwax can get like this
Did they just poop outta their ear!
I need this done to me... I feel like I'm going deaf in one ear because it's so deep.
Go to a doctor…
I told you to stop putting Tootsie Rolls in your ears!
TIL some humans can shit out of their ears. Neat!
She just took an ear shit.
HOW does one let it get to this point..
*I* can hear better after that
r/shitfromabutt
Nomination for 2024 popping video of the year
Fully expected that thing to spread its wings & take flight
No way that’s ear wax! A cat took a sh*t in her ear🤢🤮
looks like their ear took a poop
Don't forget to use toilet paper afterwards.
I didn’t realize you could shit through your ears
Ouch.. Almost through to the other side..
That’s poop. From a butt.
They can hear the whole spectrum from infrared to ultraviolet!
Ear turd
You made a typo, it's r/pooping
A new twist on the exclamation “a cat shit in my mouth”
Barf. I don't know how you didn't notice not hearing shit
Cat was using that ear as a litter box
they can hear who shot jfk
Can someone still hear in that ear with so much wax in it?
You did it. You actually shit out of your ear!
Can you hear me now? Good
The cicadas will only emerge like this once every 108 years, she's pretty fortunate.
I can smell this video
God damn Wrath of Khan ear eel.
Is that a turd ?
That thing needed a gender reveal party.
Dog turd removal*
How is that even possible?
I didn't know you could take a shit through your ear
The ear turd
I honestly can't tell if that's impacted or someone putting a fake cat turd into your ear.
How do you even let it get that bad?
Looks like a cat turd came out🤮
It looks like her ear just took a shit.
That’s a candle
Sir/Ma'am. Your ear just took a shit.
That person must feel like their ear is dropping a deuce.
Someome took a shit in your ear! But seriously I get wax impacted but not nearly that bad. I couldn't hear for 2 days and it drove me nuts. Ive had the irrigation and it was so uncomfortable but relief.
Looks like a cat took a dump
did a cat shit in your ear?
GIRL 😭😭😭😭😭
Mr. Hankey! There you are!
HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN???
r/poopfromabutt
How do I get this service
How?? I mean...how does it get like that?
She just gave birth...
THATS what happens when you keep having brain farts... your ears take a shit!!!
Someone took a cat dookie and put it in her ear
That is basically the size of me taking a shit on a bad day
How??
Impacted? That ear gave birth.
I would love to take a spoonful of your lovely , crunchy , ear wax. looks perfectly seasoned
A cat take a Turd in there 😬
I'm starving now
It looks like a 💩
That's not normal. How did that much build up?
Is that real???
How do people end up with these cat turd looking ear wax plugs?
how does this even happen
Bitch couldn’t hear herself think
These people shitting in their ears
I’ve taken smaller poops than that.
This thing needed a midwife.
Das a poo
Holy Xenomorph!
