Thorough earwax purge! I just got one today, and it felt great. Hearing all sort of higher frequency details now... unbelievable! Free at your neighbourhood walk-in clinic.

Clearing out earwax is not recommended unless it is becoming obstructive, mainly because the absence of earwax in our ear canals actually stimulate the production of more earwax than even before.

exactly, plus (a little) earwax has a (protective) function 
 
If your ears are full of it though, that's a different case. It happens to me 2 times a year approximately, I go to the ENT doctor then

actually my right ear was muffled, and left was also some what obstructed, didn't have time to visit the doctors earlier... so it felt like night and day afterwards... hopefully last me couple of months

In my opinion the best audiophile tweak was a haircut.
Long hair with the hair obstructing your ears reduces the highs a lot, consequentially there was a huge difference in SQ when I went to the barbershop last time.
Might have to go again sometime soon...

On the other hand long hair does have one very positive side effect as well; it blocks out the wind when biking and listening with IEM's.Without hair being over my IEM's I hear very loud wooshing wind sounds that make it difficult to listen to the music.
Maybe time to invest in some Senn HD 25-II's.

The strange thing is, it have made no difference at all (listen hair out the way and over ear), I have straight hair, maybe that makes a difference. I found at least my hair is acoustically transparent.

I have straight hair as well, but maybe it's because I have thick hair that usually is left unwashed. (I rarely wash it as I always end up with abominable itching for 30 minutes)

Shaved my head from a medium length hairstyle. Everything fits better. True story.

This. Also my hair makes it so I have zero comfort issues with my Grados. Bonus!!
