I have been to the doctor and got my ears flushed out...
AMAZING!
It was incredible the amount of sensitivity to noise my ears had after clearing out the rather large lumps (eww gross) of earwax. I think it took about a day for my ears to adjust to the change in volume. Everything was louder. I could hear things that I never noticed before. Be prepared for a very weird sensation when getting your ears flushed out with water. It sounds like a freakin' waterfall in your ear! Not a very comfortable procedure, but damn... the difference is night and day.
Previously, I have tried the gimmicky ear candles. They were interesting. It was fun (and gross) to see what the candle drew from my ear. The downside was that I only had two candles (one for each ear) and I really needed more in order to draw out all the gunk. Because I only used one per ear, it actually made my hearing worse and I experienced clogged ear canals. Ear Candles have since been banned in Canada due to obvious dangers (damaging your ear, burning your hair off, etc).
Ear candles, although interesting, are no match for flushing out your ears with warm water, performed by a doctor. In Canada, this procedure is done absolutely free. Ear candles are usually expensive. Finally, the difference is night and day with the water technique.
If you haven't ever had your ears flushed out. Go and get it done! Hear what you're missing!
