Earwax buildup: any tips?

Has anyone here actually tried ear candling? How does one even go about doing that, and what’s the actual result?
Also, when stepping outside during those first few days, is it necessary to use earplugs or is it overkill?

When you first head outside after being indoors, should you put cotton in your ears or is it unnecessary?

Is that the same old scam? I guess it’s supposedly proven that those things don't work at all... They just present the residue they claim is earwax as proof, but it’s probably just burnt wax.🤷
Why would you even want to clean your ears like that? If you can't hear well, maybe just go see a doctor for a professional flush..👍
