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.

i've had that happen to me before. thought i'd just gone deaf in one ear somehow, but nope. just ungodly amounts of earwax

I got one of those little scrapers with the camera on them and cleaned out my ears a couple times and it felt very good.

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Health is wealth

Love to hear that. I think (hope) I have a similar issue. My right ear is very muffled, but my left ear isn't. I've been putting it off for too long.

Very well could be the wax

ommggg i bet that felt so fucking good

one time i had one that was like the size of a pencil eraser they pulled out with tweezers. liquid gushed out behind it. felt so good the whole world increased by like 30 decibels and the headache went away instantly.

they sell these little kits now that connect to your phone and have a tiny camera and tweezers. i have one and it seems dangerous lol but i keep it as a backup just in case.

What the fuck I'm so jealous I gotta stop cleaning my ears

Happy for you, that must have felt amazing

Keep your ears clean but don't use qtips

get a turkey baster/snot sucker and when you shower, GENTLY spray warm water into each ear while holding your head sideways so the wax falls out

I have had overactive ear wax production for most of my adult life and have had to have them cleaned multiple times. The drops they give me don't work, the remedies involving hydrogen peroxide don't work and actually make things worse. Just gently clean out your ears every day and you will never randomly go deaf again
