I didn't realize just how much of a blockage I had in my left ear. I literally had to hold on to the wall to avoid falling over because my sense of equilibrium went haywire. Plus now I have super hearing like a fucking bat. My right ear seemed to be fine. I may have even better hearing tomorrow once my ears dry out

For the record, I used warm saline water and a small squeeze bulb rather than something dangerous like a q-tip

I know this feeling too well, except my case can get extreme. Earlier this year, my "good ear" (left side) became blocked with excess wax that I was practically deaf in one ear. Over the counter stuff wouldn't work, but thankfully I walked into a Minute Clinic hosted by a CVS pharmacy to get it cleaned out. The doctor used a device that felt like a pressure washer for the ear and it flushed out rocks if wax.

The feeling was incredible after cleaning! Although it worries me that it was in 2017 that I also had to have it flushed out too, since before that, I didn't have it cleaned since 2011...
