faded you can not imagine the relief. Even the nurse was shocked how badly my ears were clogged with wax. Thank goodness it wasn't the eardrum that I was afraid it was going to be. When she cleaned them out I let out an audible AHHHHHHHH and went oh my god. The other ear was even bad too and she was shocked I could hear out of it. The piece of wax that came out, shit you not, was like the size of a beetle. Amazed something like that could even get clogged in here.

Thanks to all you comrades for the well wishes.

OOO It was a wax problem. One of my partners has this, she found that she has to go in about every 6 months. It's remarkable how much stuff can fit inside an ear honestly

I should really invest in a syringe with the soft tip like the nurse used today, I've seen them on amazon, who just filled the water up with a little hydrogen peroxide and flushed them right out, little pressure and POP out comes a little beetle of ear wax.

hydrogen peroxide

You shouldn't use that in the inner ear. Buy ear drops and a bulb at Amazon or find a cheaper price locally.

Google...

Is hydrogen peroxide safe for inner ear?

In conclusion, hydrogen peroxide should not be used in your ears, as the risks outweigh the potential benefits.

All the commercial ear drops are based on either vinegar, alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide. And a list of antibiotics that steadily gets longer as resistance disseminates.
