I now have sympathy for people who lose hearing. Two weeks ago I went for my hearing test but needed wax removal. Two weeks of drops, twice daily, ended last night. Two weeks of a blocked ear and no sound. Four weeks until the appointment to remove wax and do test.

I have sincere sympathy for anyone with hearing loss. One blocked ear and my world has changed. My father had hearing aids and always had trouble with them. Five grand for the first pair and he still couldn’t hear well. Mom used to say that he couldn’t hear her asking him for help but drop a penny on the carpeting and he’d hear it fifty feet away!

I never had sympathy for him but I’d never experienced anything remotely close to this. I’m glad I always cleaned my ears though I used cotton swabs which is very bad. Q-tips needs to stop promoting the product as soft and begin to address the issue of sticking it in your ear. It pushes wax further in and can cause damage.

They gave me drops for the future and the drops loosen the wax and you suction it out.

Seriously, how many here think about their ears and wax? I just never thought about it.

What’s next to go? Jeez, I’m scared of getting old.
