Earwax

[xxMATTGxx]

You know I have always used ear buds and I've never had a problem with my hearing so far.

literally nearly threw up in my mouth at that video and the guy with really thick wax VOM

[x-s-x]

I haven't had that problem before but my mum has a few times xx

I've always wanted to get them syringed as I've always assumed I needed it. I get bad ears all the time. Always have earache but when I went to the doctor after having those most extreme earache ever, she said they weren't blocked or anything so i don't know.

I'll admit to using earbuds, I know it's bad and I know they make my ears hurt afterwards.

I had to go see a doctor a few years ago to fix an ear blockage and it happened because I had been using earbuds a lot! The doctor advised me to stop using them and I haven't had any problems since.

I clean around my ear with earbuds and they always are so much more waxier than jakes (weird to know that but we do our nightly rituals before bed together in the bathroom haha). I'd love to get them syringed can imagine how free as a bird I'd feel afterwards. I have bad ear issues but afaik it's nothing to do with wax. My ear crackles when it's too loud and I can barely hear when it does, it's so bloody annoying

I don't have a problem with hearing although I know they get pretty waxy, my dad has bad ear wax problems and can't hear from it. He was meant to have them syringed again, but I bought him some olive oil eardrops from work and when he went to doctors it'd cleared it up so much he didn't need them syringed! I don't use cotton buds though, doing things like that when they could potentially damage something freaks me out.

Try cleaning them as soon you are out the shower get some toilet paper and clean there or with cotton swabs. If that doesn't work see one of those specialist doctors.

I bought this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1610952177...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

it has a tri-stream nozzle so it just gives the ear canal walls a good clean without hitting the eardrum
also has water exit things so you don't end up with water stuck in your ear plus that's where the wax comes out too

apparently it's best to squirt olive oil into your ears for a few days first before going for the big clean

i didnt use olive oil first and only had tiny crusty bits come out.

I shall oil up my ears twice a day for 2 days then try it again and post results hopefully not in pictures...
