If it had happened for as long as you can remember then imagine your hearing is pretty poor. If it just showed up at some point in time, I think you’d notice it.
It’s happened to me several times, and doctors flushed it out a couple of times though I’ve since learned to do it myself with a rubber bulb type syringe (and warm, not cold water). This is not a recommendation as I’m not a doctor and have no idea likely someone would be to do some damage, but if there is a risk, I either have the right touch or am just lucky.
When it happens, the ear with the problem hears pretty poorly and I feel something like I’m under water. Usually it comes and goes a few time, the experience being like your ears popping on a plane or when driving over a mountain. Then at some point it doesn’t go away and I have to deal with it.
I’ve also had this done, but my GP used warm water. No ill effects whatsoever. Obviously my hearing improved.
And more importantly, you admit it!
Is there anything specific about your case, or is the same procedure likely to help a lot of people to improve their hearing?
This should only help people who currently have earwax obstructions.
How many percent of the population have earwax obstructions? How do I know whether I have one?
