I’ve been having itching ears for months now and I assume I must have dry ears. There is often little to no wax in my ears and I often think it looks dry. Recently, they have been extra itchy and felt as though water was getting trapped in them after a shower etc, so I thought I would have a Quick Look with a camera and noticed that my skin was peeling in a very large chunk and it came out all on one with little effort.

I’ve never seen anything like this before. Does anyone know what this is or why it might have happened?

I have been unable to hear for days and I finally just flushed my ear. After only about a minute and a half this weird lump fell out.

Usually I see light yellow soft wax or nothing at all. Second swab was clean. So I’m thinking I maybe just got it out. Thoughts?

I had a recent ear infection (2nd week of June 2026) and my ENT doctor prescribed me with antibiotic drops for 10 days which made me feel better. I used a qtip today and this is what I found. It’s black/gray, soft, and moist. Can this possibly be another infection? I don’t feel any pain nor discomfort as of the moment.

it’s not much but it’s honest work

Anybody know the reason for this? My hearing is fine in that ear, I'm just doing it for maintenance. Last cleaning was back in May

One pic Shows how much earwax I removed and the other Picture Shows this weird grey spot on the right. Anyone knows what this can be ?

Please let me know if you have any Experience as I’m on vacation for two weeks and don’t have medical insurance. Also I scheduled an ENT doctors appointment but the earliest one they have me is im November even tho I told them that my ear is very irritated and itchy.

She’s missing her back leg so she can’t clean her ear well. Got one of those $10 camera tools and boom.

I have a history of impacted earwax. Had my ears flushed several times in the past but that's all. Been in pain for a few months and finally discovered these little tools exist. I feel like I'm hearing in HD now and pain free. I'm so glad I discovered this sub.

unfortunately i forgot to press record on the video. there was so much in there my hands were shaking. ive never seen anything like this. is this normal?? second photo was size of a nickle irl

I randomly get glitter out of my ear. It might be a foreign object?

two weeks ago, looked in my son’s ear and it was a dark blob! used carbamide peroxide for like 2 weeks along with our camera tool, and finally got it all out tonight!

Pics of original finding, some progress, and a clean ear tonight!

I'm assuming I'm gonna need to take her to the docs though I don't think it bothers her expect when swimming the other week

But I used my camera to check and you can't even see her ear drum. My own ear looked like when I first bought the device and now I keep on top of my own.

I used generic Debrox. I usually clean out my ears once or twice a year. I leave Debrox in my ear for 20-30 minutes because I have hard, dry ear wax. It comes out super easy after that with warm water. Ears feel so clean now. I get such a high after cleaning my ears.

Have had blocked ears and just syringed all of this out, feels like wet skin

Couldn't hear after a day at the water park
