Yay! My brother gets wax like that. You probably need to put drops in from time to time to prevent it from building up again. Hearing is a very good thing.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, clearing out the right ear has made clear that I should probably use the kit to clean out the left ear now. I can hear out of it, but there's such a big difference between the two ears now that it's clear there's a bit of buildup in the left one.

I want to run around screaming at the top of my lungs that I CAN HEAR! You have no idea how stressful trying to mix the last two shows has been, and just how unhappy I've been for the last almost twenty-four hours.

You may find the world a bit noisy for a couple days.

Also, coming out of this experience, I am now utterly convinced that our hearing has "handedness", just as our vision does (were those archery blog posts that mention eye-handedness posted in here?).
Also, I now know that I am right-eared. My left ear being slightly clogged does not distress me anywhere near as much as having my right ear clogged did. Apparently I use my right ear for discrete (did I use the right "discrete"?) listening.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Two big chunks of wax, the size of a marble (each!) came out.
It's amazing what size can get stuck in there! I can totally relate to this! I wear silicone earplugs to sleep every night so I have to be careful to clean my ears out lest the wax build up and I wind up in exactly the same situation.
Which is why I always have the drops and a squeeze bulb on hand.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There was one time when I was a kid and had a really bad earache, and I went to the doctor, and it turned out that I had in my ear a ball of wax nearly the size of a golf ball.
