faded you can not imagine the relief. Even the nurse was shocked how badly my ears were clogged with wax. Thank goodness it wasn't the eardrum that I was afraid it was going to be. When she cleaned them out I let out an audible AHHHHHHHH and went oh my god. The other ear was even bad too and she was shocked I could hear out of it. The piece of wax that came out, shit you not, was like the size of a beetle. Amazed something like that could even get clogged in here.

Thanks to all you comrades for the well wishes.

Put carbamide peroxide drops in your ears and let it sit for about five minutes once a week. I haven't had any problems with wax buildup since I started doing this. It basically makes your ear wax runnier so it will come out on its own like it's supposed to.

wait a month or so to do that though since you just got them cleaned. Not enough wax buildup to need it or sufficiently protect the sensitive skin in your ears from the peroxide.

Also don't use q-tips to clean your ears as they'll only exacerbate the problem.

Noted. I already don't use qtips I know how bad they are.
