I have actually heard about the wax getting shoved in, so I know what you are referring to there. I have considered it but still think I'm better of continuing to use them. Everyone is different, though.
Apparently most Asian people don't actually produce noticeable ear wax, it's more of a caucasian thing.
Not sure about noticeability, but yes, Asian people have different earwax consistency to whiteys like me. :P
The Asians who have dry ear wax also tend to not have smelly armpits. It's a genetic thing.

What's funny is that I got downvoted over that lol.
I saw someone get downvoted into oblivion once for pointing out that a significant number of Asians don't need deodorant. I think that there are a lot of default-white types who can't think outside that.
