Current Events > Clogged my ear with wax while cleaning it last week

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just got done using an ear flushing kit and holy fuck so much wax just shot out all over the sink and now I have superhuman hearing

---

My ears used to clog with wax semi-regularly and it was the worst feeling ever

I need to get a flushing kit or see a doctor for a cleaning. I have never self flushed before and don't even know if I know how. but I sometimes go to a doctor and have them do it.

Using a carbomide peroxide kit is really easy @Zikten , it really just comes down to waiting for it to work and making sure that the rinse water temp is warm enough but not hot.

I dont know what type of environment I was in, but whatever it was, it caused a big wad of ear wax to fall out of my ear. I just felt like a hot liquid charging through my ear leading up to its exit. And my hearing did improve.

But we gotta be careful when cleaning, because apparently no ear wax at all can be bad.

For me that only happens when I use earphones regularly for hours. Like when Im out of work and school. I think that mightve been the cause.

You just tilt your head, put 10 drops of the peroxide stuff in your ear, lay down on your side to keep it in and listen to it bubble for like 10 minutes, then flush that shit out with water

Might have to do it a few times, took me three days of doing it twice a day

Yeah that's why you're not supposed to clean out your ears with swabs and the like.

Like just go to a doctor's visit and ask for a cleanout. They'll do it in a second and you feel like you can hear Jesus if Jesus were a dog whistle or something.

cleaning delicate equipment.
was thinking to clean dog's ears but we use cotton balls for that.
