Anyone ever try ear candles for better listening?

I did it and suffered third degree burns!! .....Oh, wait....I was supposed to place the unlit end in my ear??

Ear Candles, I hope my audio buddies don't read this. My wife got me on this over 15 years ago. I have her do it for me once a month since then. Do they work, you bet they do.
Colonic's ! I have to draw the line some where. This is not for me.

That's all we need - $500 audiophile ear candles.

Seriously, ear candles are a scam.
The proof? Look into the (hollow) ear candle after use.
What do you see? Gobs of "ear wax".
Next, perform the procedure without putting candle in the ear.
Look into the tube. Same exact "ear wax"!
Guess how I know...

I use scented candles. My ears smell like strawberries.
