Go to the doctors and have them do it. You'll hear shit youve never heard before, I kid you not.

I got into a headlock in Vegas like 3 months prior and that clogged my ears. I literally couldnt hear shit and tried all the OTC products to eat away at the built up wax. I couldnt take it any longer so I went to urgent care and they used this thin tube and shot water in my canal and out popped clogged wax the size of a Tootsie Roll...I swear to Allah. It was disgusting.

But when I got in my car, I heard EVERYTHING. Even peoples voices were bouncing off walls at work the next day. I told myself Im doing this once a year and I have. It feels like heaven man.

wow.

i bring this topic up because i spent the weekend swimming in the pool. i remember that i used to get my car clogged with water very quickly...even to the point where water would stay in there for a day or so.

this morning i woke up with a giant ball of wax the size of a pea in my left ear...the ear that normally fills with water. i wonder if i need to do the same with my right.

I usually just use q-tips. The warning on the package is just for liability reasons.
