I have the Arnold reflex where if something is touching deep enough inside my ear canal, I can feel it in the back of my throat. Like there's no connection, it's just nerves misfiring, but it makes me cough & gag.

I've been enjoying the ear wax discussion. I have chronic wax build up from having tons of ear infections as a kid. If I don't clean gigantic globs out of my ears every 2 weeks I wake up with a clogged ear deaf and dizzy.
Thanks thread!

I say this without shaming anyone, but it sounds more like a "medical condition" situation, either as abnormal wax buildup (see eSporks' post) or a kind of OCD.

Yes, exactly the same. Also those kits with the carbamide peroxide and flush always hurt my eardrum more than they help, so I've moved on to picks and being very careful.

Ear wax clears itself out naturally, only try to remove it manually if you have a medical condition effecting your ear canal, or you want to have one.

Not always, I've had moments where I go practically deaf, and then low and behold there's a shitload of earwax in said ear.

Maybe I don't understand the situation, but wouldn't this buildup be less gigantic if you cleaned it out more often?

I guess, but it's kind of a pain in the rear end to do. If I dont do it I am pretty much garunteed to wake up deaf once a month.
I guess I could do it more often? But 2 weeks is a schedule that I have found works.

FWIW, I've never found the scoopers to be effective. Water flushing in the only method that works for me.

You also should not manually remove turds from your rear end unless you have a medical condition or a hot date planned tonight.

This is exactly me too! I use sticks to great effect, if I don't my ears become completely clogged every two or three months because of chronic ear infections as a baby/young child.

I also have extensive hearing damage from going to punk concerts as a teenager then getting into firearms as an adult. My ear protection once fell out right as I was standing near a guy attempting a mad minute on an Enfield. Now I wear two layers of ear protection when I go shooting but I'm still going to lose my hearing before the age of fifty I'm sure.

Have you guys ever returned something on Aliexpress or is it not worth it? I'm assuming that the seller will ask you to ship it back to China but for an item I paid $12 USD it's not even worth it at that point?
LOL, no. You'll have to cover your own return shipping costs which is be more than $12. If it is broken or "not as described" you can dispute for a refund or partial refund. If you just changed your mind you're SOL.

Shut up Meg posted:

That's not how this game is played


(Plus, your return shipping costs are probably going to be more than you paid for the entire thing, including delivery to you)
Agreed. If you want the option to return things you can often find the same or similar products on Amazon for like 20% more.

of course as soon as I go back to the page to post this I see this in the 'Also' section:

a few more quid but all the same functions and you can set the colour. Fucks sake, someone might be getting a small white LED clock for xmas :p

I got my second digi clock in the post; the plain white one will dim at night but the colour one doesn’t. However, the colour one will totally switch off the display until you make a noise, and then switch on for 10 seconds, makes it ideal for folks like me who need it pitch black to sleep but might wake up and wonder the time.

White clock is staying in the office, colour one is set to a nice vaporware purple and is set up in the bedroom.
