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.

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.

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.

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.

That happened to me when I was a kid. The doctor went in and took out this huge ball of was that was black and hard to the touch. It was gross.
