At the clinic we rinse out earwax with a little spray nozzle using warm water with alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. We constantly see people that have hosed up their ears with Q-tips and still inexplicably think that following advice for not putting q-tips in your ears is for nerds.

It’s very stupid to smash a cotton swab down your ear canal like you’re tamping a goddamn cannon with a rammer. Yes, I’m talking to you.
yeah if I think my ears need cleaning, I'll just go to the urgent care clinic(or ask while I am there for something else) and have someone flush them out and get the buildup out rather than try myself. Debrox doesn't work for me so it's my best option. Better to let a professional handle it than try to handle it blindly myself.

Sorry you'll have to speak up I can't hear you. I think there is a bit of wax in my ears that I need to clean out. Hold on let me get a q-tip.

I apparently have really wide ear canals or something because it's easy to get the qtip in there without touching the sides, press gently to a side, and swirl. It's nothing like a cannon ramrod. How deep do people think they're supposed to go?

There should be a tiny bit of immense agony, and then bits of your personality and memories should start to disappear.

That's how you're know your ears have been cleared good and proper.

I produce a lot of earwax, and it just kinda solidifies into lumps that normal cleaning methods like debrox don't break down. like, I've tried them, many times, it doesn't work. so the next step is to have a doctor do it, and they are efficient and get it all out. I repeat my statement, you're an idiot. that's all there is to it!

The extra little funny thing about that UO pic is that when UO first came out there wasn't as much fast, touch typing. I even had to help my friend. He would control the character and I would be speaking for him because I knew typing. So I just picture some kid slowly hunting & pecking

Feels like earwax is just randomly a problem for some people. I had really bad problems in my early 20’s, visited the doc a few times until I realized I could do the ear canal flushing myself. One time I tried that and still had to visit the doc wtf

I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
I thought the ear was a self-cleaning organ? Doesn't everyone occasionally have a little ball of wax fall out of their ear?

Didn't seem like there was much fast typing when I was that age. Chatrooms, chat programs, games, classes, things were slow. Often felt like I was waiting for responses.
