Also called ear cones, ear candles are long, hollow tubes made of wrapped muslin. Ear candles are used for ear wax removal. They are believed to help with ear infection and ear problems such as lack of hearing by removing the wax in which various bacteria and parasites live.
Using ear candles is called ear candling. It is generally more comfortable and less expensive than conventional ear cleaning where water is forced into the ear canal. Ear candles are considered a folk medicine. The practice of ear candling is actually an ancient art from many other countries such as China, Czechoslovakia, Mexico and Italy.

Hey folks be careful with this. I did ear candling at home a few times and enjoyed it. Then one time while a friend was holding the candle I heard woosh and red hot wax went into my ear burning a hole in my drum. My right ear is still damaged and I hear hissing all the time. So buyer beware.
Still... it's a cute lady.
Aww! Come on 100,000+ people a year use ear candles alone in the United kingdom! and over 1M+ in Italy per annum
They can't all be wrong, though I appreciate ear candles are an 'alternative medicine' why not find out more about
Ear Wax Removal Using Ear Candles.
P.s. the cute lady was also the original 'little girl' that has appeared in their ads for over 20 years :-)
It's like all alternative medicines - what works well for one person, can be anothers horror story. For a more detailed informed view visit Clean ears

There's always going to be someone who has negative experiences with ANY treatment (including surgery, RX, in office treatments at the doctor's office etc). Ear Candles are no exception. There IS however a better way to ear candle and you can get instructions over at www.earcandlelady.com. These are the best instructions I've seen and I've been canding for 20 years!
