Topic: Do you like gross stuff?
started by: damien_s_lucifer
So he washed it out, and got a chunk about as big as the last segment of your pinky finger. Then he saw the eardrum, decided it was infected, and gave me antibiotics... said there was "some" wax left, and to use an over the counter earwax removal kit to get the rest.
So I got that, and I've removed at least as much wax as he did, which means I had a stomach turning amount of wax in there... yech!!! I must have been carrying that shit around for YEARS!!!
But I can hear REALLY WELL now... everything sounds like it's in mega stereo. I keep turning my head to the left to see what "that noise" was - and then I determine it came from directly in front of me :P

You sure you're just appreciating more now how well you could hear before your ear got blocked in the first place ?
I suppose if you're other one has a normal amount of wax in it, and your newly clean one has very little now, than that could be disrupting your HRTFs..
Makes me wonder how much of the stuff i have hanging around in my head...
i once had to go to the doctor coz i had an ear infection, so the doc start cleanin my ears out with this metal thing, jiggling it around in my ear, and accidently touched a nerve which knocked me out for around 10 mins.
i was as white as a ghost and stiff as a board.
i remember my dad standing over this small chinese doctor, trying to find out what the hell he did to me
hehehe

not in this case since the gland needed to produce the said wax does not exist.

that's a good one. I think that's gonna be my excuse for a while.
Oh, and, use a Q-Tip every god damn day, for god's sakes, and you won't have an extra pound of earwax weight in the left side of your head.

I assume you meant to put the "not" in there, since your sentance doesn't make sense otherwise...
Of COURSE I'm not saying my hearing improved by being clogged with wax for a couple years! My brain was used to having no signal from the left ear, so it's a little confused right now, and I'm amazed at how much noise there is in the world 
neophyre : ear infections SUCK when the doc decides it'll be okay to stick shit in your ear before the antibiotics work. a doctor pressure tested my poor infected ear once upon a time. Why? Because he wanted to make sure the infection hadn't perforated my eardrum. Excuse me, but isn't one of those things you can check on a FOLLOW UP??? I was praying for death for an hour afterwards, and when I wasn't praying I was vomiting. Asshole. I should find him and... nevermind. That's the brain wax talking.

The box says not to use them in your ears. These rules were made for a reason.

) my uncle went over there for hplidays and found he'd got ear infection went to europeon doctor and he syringed it and at one point it really hurt. the doctor said he was fine. when my uncle got back it was still hurting and so went to uk doctor and he said that the bloody europeon doctor had ruptured the eardrum during the syringing so now he's permanently deaf in one ear. ahhhh dont go to europe trust me i've been all over there and they think fuck all about any form of safety standards i have seen literally hundreds of things in my travels there that would never be tolerated in uk cos their deathtraps. grrrrrThis message has been edited by Dark Knight Bob on March 14, 2001 at 05:05 PM

Do you like gross stuff? I hope so, because this topic is about earwax.
ROFLMAO
i was at home with my sisters and they were doing something with beads. my inner-ear was itchy, so i picked up one of the beads, which was really small, and jammed it in there.
then i couldnt get it out.
so my mom took me to the hospitol and when the doc took it out, it was covered with ear wax. i mean tons of it.
the morel of the story, dont stick anything larger than your elbow in your ear.
heheh, figure that out.

you'll know in a hurry if you've stuck it in too far. (nsci.)
also, they work best when you're fresh out of a warm shower, when the wax is nice and soft.
the lesson here, buy some q-tips and use them, so you can fucking HEAR.

heh, i still cant hear, its not good...either ive never been able to hear, or my parents were right when they said my music was up to loud and id fuck up my eardrum....
)into your ear and see how far it'll go then after a few mm's you'll feel it touch your eardrum. for people who do overclocking this is like not putting a fan on an athlon chip its done so at your own risk but if your VERY careful you'll feel it touch your eardrum i.e it'll hurt all of a sudden. i did this once to check if i had some wax stuck in there but thankfully i remember to clean my ears out whenever i get a chance. it can also help to use some baby oil as that helps to dissolve the wax into the cotton bud and reduce irratation on the inside of your ear. for all these people out there that have globs of wax in their wtf is wrong with you i sometimes pull out quite a bit and i dont notice much difference in my hearing so wtf have you all been doing? sticking your head in a pile of mud!?!?!This message has been edited by Dark Knight Bob on March 19, 2001 at 06:35 AM
).One thing that REALLY helps get wax out is the over-the-counter wax-dissolving stuff. You use it for a couple of days, and then use the supplied water bulb to squirt some high-pressure warm water in your ear. That will also clean out any cotton left behind by the q-tips.
dkb, I had ear surgery on my left ear when I was ten. My ear was all fucked up from a really nasty infection - it ATE my eardrum and the bones, so I had to have new ones put in. It also ate all the little hairs that are supposed to sweep the wax out. That's why it gets so clogged
