Rah, man's ear is clean!!!

So I've had a problem with one of my ears for the last 5 years. I got an infection in it and ever since, I've had a problem with ear wax buildup and lost about 75% of my hearing in it. Been to the doctors several times and they just kept giving me ear drops. They did nothing and I asked about syringing but they said they didn't really do it anymore unless it was an extreme case and it was causing hearing loss in both ears, LOL.

So I bought a kit off eBay and did it myself. Standard syringe with a nozzle on it. Just did the ear drops for a few days to soften the wax, then blasted it all out with water.

I can ****ing hear out of it properly again now :biggrin:

Slightly apprehensive, but ear syringing has been going on in the medical field since God knows when so it must be pretty safe :lol:

What? They dont do syringing anymore? Why's that?

Anyway I did a similar thing, put some ear drops and blasted it with a shower head although im not sure its all gone so maybe ill get a kit myself...

Apparently if you have a perforated ear drum then it can cause you serious problems and most doctors aren't experienced enough to be able to tell a perforated ear drum from one that's not. If the ear drops aren't working then they could refer you to ENT at the hospital but I also spoke to my mum's friend who's a nurse, and she said I could do it perfectly safely at home so I did just that.

I always say, if you want something done right, pay someone who's good at it to do it for you :lol: but it seemed simple enough.

Anyway, shoot me a PM and tell me how your week has been sweets :h:
This was oddly satisfying to read.

In hindsight, I'm a bit sad about my method of choice. I ran the taps on the bath to repeatedly fill the syringe with water easily and just kept them running and I sat on the edge of the bath, so all the wax went down the plughole. If I just filled up the basin and sucked up water from it between squirts then all the wax that fell out into the bath would have stayed there and I could have made a nice little pile and taken a pic of it, cause I'm sure it'd have been quite something.
