Sorry to ruin the fun, but you should read this Quackwatch article ("Why
Ear Candling Is Not a Good Idea") before wasting your money on "ear
candles":
http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/candling.html
Here's a choice quote:
"Candling poses several dangers, the most serious of which involve burning
caused by the hot wax. Candle manufacturers claim that their candles will
drip only down the outside of the ear, but shamefully few direct the user
to hold the candle horizontally to prevent this. A 1996 survey of 144 ear,
nose, and throat physicians, found that 14 had seen patients who had been
harmed by ear candling, including at least 13 cases of external burns, 7
cases of ear canal obstruction with candle wax, and 1 perforated eardrum
[3]."
