bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

Q-tips are very bad to use.
You're much better with drops (as in raindrop size) of new olive oil.
How to do it properly tbh:

The best way to care about your ears is to not do anything at all.

What the heck is that thing? Are we talking clean ears here or portable lobotomy.

It's probably a good thing I can only read half of that

these epiphany threads show up every month or so


i use the tried-and-true method of a few drops of hydrogen peroxide diluted with warm water

 

[chinesekiwi]

hydrogen peroxide can irritate though thus why olive oil is better.

You make an appointment to go see this ear specialist.

I wonder that's a normal case, or extreme? I can only imagine how different everything would sound afterwords. I want to get that done now.

What has been seen can not be unseen.

I'm sure that is an absurdly extreme case

I have had the doctor clean my ears, however, and things sound markedly different. for years I thought I simply had poorer hearing in my right ear - after the cleaning, I was happy to discover both ears were just as sensitive

DEAR GOD!

I use olive oil. Put a few drops in your ear (make sure they go deep enough so that it obscures your hearing), then lay down so that ear is facing up and let it sit for 20 minutes, then depending on how much ear wax you have, either just gently wash the olive oil out (normal earwax), or take a syringe and blast warm water in there (ear wax plugs).

I had 2 enormous plugs in my ears and my hearing was so much better after.
