How to Fix ear funk from gauges

"How to Fix ear funk from gauges" cover image

What is that smell? If you've got large gauge ear gauges, it's probably dead skin and buildup in your ear lobes.

Ear funk is common problem for those with stretched ears over 6 or 4 gauge. It comes from a build up of dead skin cells that are trapped on the inside of your plugs. The best ways to eliminate this problem is by either washing your plugs everyday in the shower, or to wear wooden plugs (which are porous and will naturally absorb the grossness of your dead skin cells).

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
