Bad smell from ear can only mean infection, but other people shouldn't be able to smell it. My guess that something else is wrong and the ear thing is an excuse. But it is your mum's friend so talk to your mum but don't get involved directly.

Poop stinks as a result of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce smelly, sulfur- or nitrogen-rich organic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the inorganic gas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that give farts their odor.

Ear candles are a safe way to go - buy a Hopi candle, insert end into ear and light (other) end..!  Wait till the flame gets down to the line and remove, put it out and look inside at the wax it has drawn up from your ear canal - yuk!  It is pleasantly warming and you don't have to put anything chemical into your ear either.\nGood luck - can you hear me now??!

If they snore or fart loud enough, the noise can wake them.  Yes, they usually know what the noise was.  I've also known of people who farted and the stink was so bad it woke them up.

Moisture in the ear can promote ear infections. Clean water from a shower is usually okay, but beware of bath or pool water.\n\nSo where is an ear, nose, and throat doctor pointing out the perils of having squeaky clean ear canals? Ear wax is there for a reason, and if you keep your ears constantly clean of it you will open yourself up to all sorts of ear infections and such. Not to mention the dangers of jamming things in your ears to clean it out... there is a reason Q-Tips say "Do not insert into ear canal" on the package...

Do you smoke? My neighbour had similar probs with her ear (but it was a little painful for her too) and it turns out smoking can cause ear probs (as a result of constantly making the sucking action on a cig).  Although, I smoke, and haven't had any ear trouble.

ask her why her breath smells.  that will make her paranoid all the time.

Earwax (cerumen) is made by glands in the outer part of the ear canal and helps maintain a healthy ear. The purpose of this sticky substance is to act as a shield to prevent dust, dirt and other substances from entering the ear canal. Earwax also helps maintain the ear canal's acid balance and protect the ears from infection. Fresh earwax is soft and yellow while older earwax is brown or black, even resembling blood. The wax may also be dry, appearing white and flaky. Every day or two, earwax may be noticeable at the opening of the ear canal. If left alone, the wax will fall out or may be cleaned safely from the outer ear with a soft washcloth.\n\nSome people's ears produce an excessive amount of earwax or do not self clean very well which causes a build-up of earwax. Hearing aid users must be alert to a build-up of earwax, because the earmold of a hearing aid acts like a dam, preventing the wax from moving out of the ear canal. A major cause of hearing aid problems is earwax plugging the hearing aid. If excess earwax gathers in the ear canal, it acts like an earplug, blocking sound vibrations entering the ear and causing a hearing loss. \n\nAn ear can also get plugged up with earwax when fingers or objects are used to clean the ear canal. The finger or object may push earwax deeper into the ear canal and compact it. The inner portion of the ear canal lacks oil glands, so the compacted earwax is no longer coated with oil and hardens. This may cause a sudden loss of hearing or ear pain. In such situations, a healthcare provider should remove earwax. Removal of an earwax blockage will reverse the hearing loss and pain that it has caused. \n\nNever try to remove earwax yourself with any type of instrument, such as a cotton tipped swab, car key, bobby pin, toothpick or high- pressure water spray. Such tools often cause injury to the ear canal and can perforate the eardrum. They may dislodge the small bones in the middle ear behind the eardrum. They can even damage the inner ear, causing permanent hearing loss. \n\nA healthcare provider can teach you to safely remove earwax buildup. But, it is important to be examined first to be sure it is not a different problem. Because the inner ear is so delicate and can be easily damaged, hardened wax should only be removed by a healthcare provider. They may recommend the use of a wax-removal medication if earwax buildup is a frequent problem. \n\nIf you are concerned about excessive earwax or a change in hearing sensitivity, contact your provider.

Hello Bro,\n\n              There are many ways of looking at it.\nJust read the article below which throws light on how many hings can cause the problem you ae talking about. In summary, things that could cause the problems are:\n\n1.) A hard impact in the wrong place causing clot and clot bursting sometime later crwating a haemorrage.\n2.) Hereditary\n3.) Disease - Diabetes (which could also be herditary\n4.) Wrong drugs.\n\nAll i can say is the person having this problem needs immediate medical attention.\n\nRead the article below for more info.\n\nKeep hearing loss at bay \n\nDr. SHAILAJA NIKAM \n\nThere are many causes for losing one's hearing. Early identification is crucial to prevent or minimise loss of hearing.  \n\n\n\n\n\nPREVENTING loss of hearing must constitute a major programme for the well being of an individual. Efforts on the part of the State as well as the individual are required towards prevention — primary, secondary and tertiary. \n\nPrimary prevention requires the State to initiate programmes like immunisation against diseases, providing prenatal care, initiating neonatal screening programmes in the hospitals and hearing screening in schools. \n\nLegislation to keep noise levels within prescribed limits and a mandatory hearing conservation programme in industries are other measures. Efforts at the individual level must supplement the State initiatives. \n\nWhy wax? \n\n\nNature has provided glands that produce wax to keep foreign bodies like insects from entering the ear. The wax moves on its own towards the opening of the ear canal. Using sharp objects to remove wax harms the ear canal wall and the eardrum. Swimmers must ensure that the pool is clean. Use of earplugs can prevent contact with contaminated waters. \n\nThe Eustachian tube is the link between the middle ear and the back of the throat. It opens during yawning and swallowing. The exchange of air during this process helps in maintaining a proper balance of air pressure on both sides of the eardrum, which is essential for good hearing \n\nNot many know that fluid accumulation in the ear is detrimental to good hearing and can also damage the ear structures. So, ears must be kept free of discharge, which is caused by poor ventilation of the middle ear. \n\nFluid secreted by the mucous lining of the middle ear fills the vacuum. Fluid fills the space normally occupied by air in the middle ear. Thus ensuring good ventilation of the ear through a patent Eustachian tube is a potent preventive measure. \n\nInflammation \n\n\nOtitis media or inflammation of the middle ear can be acute, secretory or chronic. Acute otitis media is caused by general infection such as measles, chicken pox, or infection conveyed to the ear through blood stream. \n\nMore commonly, it is due to infection spreading through the nose, nasopharynx, and sinuses via the Eustachian tube. Due to inflammation, the swollen Eustachian tube does not drain the pus. So, the fluid or pus is retained in the middle ear cavity. The pus may escape or drain through a ruptured or incised tympanic membrane, the eardrum. \n\nIn case the thin partition between the middle ear and the brain is unable to obstruct the pus, it may break through the partition and cause meningitis. \n\nTreatment for otitis media should not be looked upon as complete until the tympanic membrane appears normal and hearing is fully restored. \n\nHearing loss may continue if the treatment is inadequate and if the infection comes through the Eustachian tube. Hence, the source of infection in the sinus and the nasopharynx must be treated fully. \n\nInfection \n\n\nMeasures aimed at primary prevention call for elimination of the causal agents, especially the viral and bacterial diseases known to cause hearing loss. Examples are typhoid, mumps, and measles. Hearing loss may also be secondary to chicken pox. \n\nTreatment for the infectious diseases must be sought and completed fully. Inadequate doses taken for an insufficien

Do you like it funny funny stuff.\n\nThe sticky stuff we call ear wax isn't related to the paraffin wax that candles are made of. Ear wax is secreted by cerumen glands in the skin of your ear canals. \nThis substance is part of your ear's natural cleaning mechanism. Dirt, bacteria, and even insects that might fly into your ears are trapped by the wax so the foreign materials don't harm your eardrum. The dirty wax slowly slides out of your ear canal and takes the gunk away. Sometimes ear wax builds up and causes hearing problems that require a doctor to remove the blockage. \n\nPeople produce different types of ear wax. Studies have found two kinds -- dry wax, which has about 20% lipid (fat), and wet wax, which has 50% lipid. The latter variety can be harder and lead to buildup. \n\nSome people simply create more ear wax than others. Their ear canals may be narrower and more easily blocked or at an angle that makes it hard for wax to fall out. Hairy ear canals can obstruct the process, too. As people age, more ear wax may build up. Even working in dusty environments can cause dirt to get stuck in the ear and lead to blockages.
