Where can I buy ear candles in the GVRD?

Question

i have a job interview coming up which includes a physical... part of it will be a hearing test... do you know where to get ear candles? so far, online, i can't seem to get a better deal than $4 each or $12 for 4, unless i'm willing to do a bulk order.... ideally a retail store in the GVRD (BC Canada) would be great where i could save the shipping cost

Answer 1

In the US you can get ear candles at drug stores such as Walgreens or CVS, or at health food stores.  I don't know if you can even get them in Canada.  Health Canada website says a special license is required to use them, and that the sale of ear candles is illegal.  See http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/iyh-vsv/med/ear-o... .

Your local drug store might have a safer alternative.  Ask the pharmacist or health store.

Answer 2

sticking something in your ear actually impairs hearing.
