I've been losing my hearing for the past four months. The process has been so slow that I've barely noticed the theft. Finally, annoyed by having to concentrate on people's lips moving in order to bolster my understanding of conversations, I went to the doctor and got myself sorted

How did the doctor fix you? I am concerned about my own hearing.

Syringe! Best idea ever.

I have order rituals with regard to my personal hygiene. First shower: hair, face (cleanse), arms, torso, bits, legs and back. Then sink: shave, tone, teeth, moisturise, ears and hair.

I've been told (a lot), that I'm not supposed clean inside the ear canal because it actually makes it worse but I don't think I'll listen. I have a ritual!

the only thing you should stick you your ear is your elbow

I wonder how many people are trying this or how many people thought about trying this.

Sounds like Daredevil.

Any chance of a rubber suit?

[murrayn]

Not the kind you're thinking.

[fannyfritter]

Oh p.s, Did he use one of those vacuumy things that get all the wax out? I love those.

[murrayn]

Yeah! It was crazy. I felt like a new man.

[fannyfritter]

It feels quite ticklish, and sounds like balloons popping inside your head, but it's so fucking worth it.

Every now and then I'll wake up with a blocked ear and usually get along to an A&E straight away because I cannot stand to have a blocked ear. It is the best feeling when the water breaks through the wax and finally hearing is restored. The world seems beautiful and clear and perfect.

Is this a regular thing? Fuck.

It happens to some people more than others. It actually hasn't happened to me much lately.

A fellow I know reckons he does a DIY ear syringe using a syringe from a chemist (sans needle, of course) and he uses that filled with warm water, even though his GP had a fit when he told her what he did.

A self-medicator? My kinda guy.

I LOVE having my ears syringed. People think I'm a nutter but I don't care.
Did they show you all the gunk that came out? It's amazing how much crap builds up in there.

One time the nurse tipped out the junky water from one ear's worth into the sink and a huge chunk of wax caught on the plughole grate thing. She left the room and I was so tempted to fish it out and play with it or maybe even taste it.

Robyn. I love you but that's disgusting.

[murrayn]

I'm blown away by how common this is. You too? Crazy.

It was foul but oh so good.
