Earwax

[Stephen]

Anyone else get really waxy ears? Like hearing problems from it and shit

i used to have to go doctors every so often as a kid to get them syringed. Like I'd go one day thinking my hearing was great but then id get them syringed and my hearing became super sensitive days after cos I was so used to them being blocked

anyway im deaf in one ear cos its blocked like hell Haven't had them syringed for yearrrrrrrrrrs
I bought some ear syringe thing off ebay so im hoping that will work along with the olive oil ive been putting in them so cross fingers

yeah anyway anyone else have that problem? :¬:

[-:Undertaker:-]

nope but as a kid i had glue ear and had to get gromits a few times but they said it'd go as i grew and it did

No lmao but I watched some buzzfeed video about people getting their wax removed. Some had loads!! Lmao would be strangely satisfying. I have to cotton bud my ears every few days!

They're extremely bad for you jurv - they can (long term) lead to permanent hearing damage and deafness! Also basically the number one reason for ear infections plz plz plz don't use them. We had someone a few months ago in the pharmacy who came in with an earbud (warning: gross) actually stuck in his ear and we had to send him on to the emergency out of hours GP practice.

My ears are pretty fine and dandy though thank goodness. I used to get ear infections as a child but that had nothing to do with wax or anything, just genetics maybe? Or I was just unlucky I don't know.

I'd love to get my ears syringed I feel like half deaf all the time, everything's really muffled and stuff it's awful, I really want them done. I clean out the outer part quite often carefully with Q tips but don't go in too far as it makes it worse cries 5eva

Omg really? I just thought that if you put them in too far they push the earwax back and block your ears for a day or something

I don't use them that often but it feels proper nice when I do!
