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.
I have weirdly shaped ear holes, which results in buildup. I really should see an ear doctor.
Do you ever find yourself oddly irritated? I know someone who gets the wax issue and they will get so annoyed when it's really built up before they realize why, something about the way it masks the sound maybe. So it might help more than just hearing!
