Any doctor worth consulting would not recommend ear candles. They can't be used instead of syringing because syringing draws all the old wax out of your ears, ear candles can not physically do that.
Just try something, get an old water bottle, just a small one (not the litre ones!) put a small piece of paper in the bottom, make sure the bottle is dry first, then put the ear candle in the top and put some plasticine around it to make a seal. The vacum it creates isn't even strong enough to lift this, so how would it possibly draw anything out of someones ear. Bearing in mind that wax is sticky.
I hope no one feels i'm being mean to them, this isn't the case at all, i just feel really strongly about this, and don't get it when others can't see the logic. I don't think you should ever put anything in your ears, and only ever have them syringed if a doctor thinks it's absolutly neccessary.
