Sorry - I know your looking for guys to answer that they clean their ears every day. Actually, the more you clean your ears, the more you need to clean them; i.e., your ear makes less wax if you clean them less frequently. On the other hand, if you boyfriend likes it when you nibble on his ears, he should be cleaning them more frequently - because, yes, that's gross. :-) Good luck!

Every time I wash my hair, which is either daily or every other day, depending on whether I worked out or blew it off.

every day

I clean mine every Morning and sometimes even twice a day.

I clean mine everytime I get out of the shower. And I usually take a shower every day or every other day.

Yeah...people should clean their ears everytime their in the shower and about 3 times a week. Everyone likes good hygiene! But try nonchalantly mentioning to him that u like good hygiene, cleaning out ur ears, etc. And maybe he'll get the clue. lol

Medically speaking...you don't need to clean your ears (remove ear wax). The ear wax is there for a reason and it clean itself with a "conveyor belt" like process. The wax protects your ear drum from infection and throws out the dust and other debris.

However sometimes the ear wax can clog up your ear, leading to reduced hearing. It is generally considered safe to clean your ear every week or two. Just make sure you DON'T clean it thoroughly.

I am a student doctor so take my advice with a pinch of salt.
