Black Gold!

Stayed in Flagstaff, AZ in 2005 when my sister got her masters at NAU. I went swimming at the hotel pool and instantly lost all hearing in my right ear. I tried irrigating and flushing it to no avail, and I was worried it was something serious. Went three whole days without any sound in my right ear, which was disorienting.

When I got home, I flushed it again and a nearly gum-ball sized clump of earwax fell out and I could hear again. I chalk it up to the change in altitude and environment.

i got ear problems (mostly deaf in my left) and i get way more earwax than the average person, like i'll be going about my day and i can feel crumbs of it fall out of my ear

you know what helps is if you plug your nose and try to blow air out your nose really hard, it diverts to your ears and dislodges any blockage. if all the air is going out one ear and not the other, plug that ear with your shoulders to divert the air to the other blocked ear. i do this twice a day and it helps a ton

I used to clean out my ears with an hair grip just going in there and hooking that poo poo right out. You have to be careful though because its very easy to give yourself an ear infection doing this.

One time in college ear wax had completely blocked up my right ear canal and instead of doing anything about it I just let myself be deaf in one ear for the whole summer

I think about this sometimes, like, what did humans do before we had water jets to clean out our ears? Was it just normal that by the time you turned 30 you would probably be mostly deaf in at least one ear?? The human body is horrible and I want a refund.

The problem with Q-tips is that you can inadvertently push the earwax back into your ear canal and actually cause it to plug up. From unpleasant experiences in Urgent Care I learned my lesson and almost never use them anymore, and am very careful on the occasions I do. It seems to run up my dad's side of the family, and apparently my left ear canal is non-euclidean or some poo poo, and more prone to blockage than my right.

Debrox is great, and an ear bulb to jet water in to rinse things out is super helpful.

And in case anyone had any doubts, ear candles are utter bullshit that do nothing and should be banned from sale.

There was a goon some years back that posted about an earwax encrusted cockroach that was removed from his ear.

Someone with archives could find it.

When I go swimming my ears freak out and up wax production to 💯. After my second irrigation at the doctor in 4 months the doctor just told me to get one of those snot sucker rubber bulb things you use to suck up baby snot.... take a hot shower and fill a cup with 100f water and suck it up and squirt it into your warm ear with the rubber bulb. It does a good job of washing it out and electricity/doctor visit isn't necessary.

It also feels weird but rather nice and it's crazy how well you can hear for a bit of you dislodge a chunk. God getting old is gross.

Doctor also told me to ignore the qtip thing saying don't put them in your ears and just make sure you don't pop out your ear drum my god your an adult man wendigee how did you not know this

Every 2 years or so I get my ears blasted with water to clean them out. It's an intensely satisfying feeling.

Same. I apparently have tiny air canals so they tend to clog every few years anyway, regardless of preventive care.

Last month I also caught a bad infection and I lost all sense of direction and I could feel the pressure build by the minute. After two hours waiting in urgent care the doctor said the infection was severe and flushing would be incredibly painful, asking if I wanted to get the heavy-duty drops and penicillin and come back the next day. I insisted that she flush them then and there, and it hurt like all hell, but the relief from the pressure gradually decreasing was absolute heaven.

At one point she noticed I was obviously wincing really bad and said if "I know this hurts, we can stop for now", to which I loudly replied "DON'T STOP, HURT ME!"

So yeah, the local former Pizza Hut/Clinic is probably considered a front for sadomasochists among those in the waiting room who almost certainly heard.

my traps are too big to block my ear with my shoulder :(

Also, if I plug my nose and blow, air also comes out of my tear ducts.

I don't know wtf is going on with me.

For the first time ever, I had an ear that hurt. pour some peroxide in there (scared as poo poo cause I couldn't remember if that was safe or whatever) and it helped a bit. i did it multiple times, and realized I had probably like microscopic tears in my outer ear, cause it burned like a bitch when i got it emptied
