Ear wax lump from hell

I’ve had earache for a couple of weeks, well today I touched my ear and was like “what the hell is that”. A HUGE lump of wax was hanging halfway out of my ear.

Are you ready for this?? I still can’t believe it 🤣

You can get the little ear cameras quite cheap. We have one from Temu. Sadly my ears are quite low producing but DH did his at the weekend. The app for the camera is on my phone so he started exploring and I was like, "You must never do this without me." It was glorious. Nothing as substantial as the OP but absolutely fascinating! We spent a lovely time digging around! Ah, marriage!

I need to know please, did you dissect it? If so, any pics? 🙏🏻 🤞🏻

Haha! Yep I'd have to slice through to inspect inside, then probably squish one half, flatten it out.

You should make something out of it 🤣 Anyone you secretly don't like... A special gift of African bronzed resin...

Using buds will have contributed to this, surely everyone knows by now that you shouldn't put them in your ears?!
I've had blocked ears before but had to use drops/water jets to get it out, it's never been a lump like that! I'm shocked you could hear anything!

We bought those ear cameras and a couple of years ago something almost identical came out of DS’s ear. He couldn’t believe it either. Amazing yours came out by itself

This post was kind of lovely and disturbing in equal measure.

I know it is probably some kind of taboo or forbidden behaviour on Sporner's Corner to say what I am about to say but ... I'm having trouble believing that is ear wax. It is black to begin with and then then the size ... and the hairs. It looks like turd, if anything.

bronnibro · 16/06/2026 06:38

I knew what it would be, I knew I'd like it but also not yet I still had a look 😂 had to, but yeah that's gross haha

MyGingerNinja · 16/06/2026 06:38

As Nurse Richard the Wax Wizard on Facebook would say… “Another wax baby safely delivered” 🤣 Check him out!

You have hairy turds? Shock

It’s amazing that yours came out on it’s own OP! As we get more “mature” our ears are not as efficient at clearing themselves out. Olive oil is good for softening wax. There are also lots of private audiologists nowadays who (for a fee, usually around £50) will use gentle suction to clear any stuck wax. Ear syringing with water not really recommended nowadays.

It’s hard to see others living your dream

And blatantly flaunting their good fortune…

FartNRoses · 16/06/2026 06:58

Wow! Has it got a name?

ICantStomachWhelks · 16/06/2026 07:05

Not sure about using your hand for scale OP, you'd have been better with a Ford Fiesta.

Omg that’s amazing!!! Can you come do my mums ears please?? She’s deaf in one ear and it’s driving me bonkers

Take her to get them checked/removed at a pharmacy. Loads of places remove ear wax now.

This is so identifiable to people I know so I’ve name changed 😂

once, when I was 17/18, my ear was so dry and itchy for a few weeks, nothing was visibly wrong and nothing I did helped, so I just tried to leave it alone hoping it would stop/heal eventually.
I was laying in bed picking at the skin one night as the skin felt so unbelievably tight, when my whole ear shed layers of dry skin, that came off in one whole large piece exactly like a snake shedding its skin.
It that was identifiable, as like a complete cast of my entire ear, including an inch into my ear canal.
It was so weird because you could see every detail like folds, texture, hairs, imprints of blood vessels etc.
Hasn’t ever happened to me again since then, not sure what caused it as I don’t have dry skin in general at all or any eczema etc
I did try to google to see if it’s happened to anyone else but couldn’t find anything so I’ve kept quiet about it since 😂🫣
I was living at home at the time, so I did run downstairs in shock and show my mum the cast of my ear, she still brings it up every few years as it was so strange!

Did this by any chance happen in the summer time? Sunburn could do that ☀️ The skin dries and comes off, in your case in one awesome piece.

Prombles · 16/06/2026 07:44

Oooh, you're so lucky! I'd have an orgasm if that came out of my ear 😆

Wow did not know that!

OvernightBloats · 16/06/2026 07:55

How did you hear with that giant raisin in your ear?!

Put the lump in some soil - see if it sprouts!

Moonandstarsandsun · 16/06/2026 07:57

Also someone mentioned about could be an ingested twin or something. Don’t know the username.

i know someone this happened to. Had massive lump thought the worse, went in for the op to remove and it was a twin. Had teeth and hair! Was in their 40s when this happened.

my niece was a twin too (ivf) then when my sister went for one of her scans the second embryo was gone. Quite early on in pregnancy, no bleeding. So we always say to my niece she’s probably absorbed it.

Jennalong · 16/06/2026 07:59

Quick ! Weigh yourself , I bet you are lighter than you've ever been for years ! 😂

bronnibro · 16/06/2026 08:01
