The spiral of the cone causes the smoke to be drawn downward into the ear canal.  This causes the ear canal to warm, and loosens the wax and other debris lying there.  The candle flame and the cone geometry then create a gentle vacuum that draws out this debris and often helps to relieve congestion.  As the candle burns, you may hear some crackling and hissing.  This is a normal sound of the candle at work.

Ear candling is soothing and relaxing, and you may experience a clearing of the sinuses, eustachian tubes and nasal passages.
