Incredible improvement in sound quality

Ok, I am an old fart with a stereo. But my system sounds so much better tonight. Why? I went to my doctor today, as I do every six months (one of my favorite people)… and he noticed that one ear had a lot of wax. So, he had his nurse use a warm water irrigation device to clear it. Wow.

I use some drops, and work to keep my ear canals clear. But, for some reason I was not able to clear my right ear.

So, wow. My system sounds so much better. Sometimes you just need a professional. Although technically you can buy these devices for a couple hundred on line. You need to realize you need to use it.

Sometimes there’s a huge void behind the earwax.

I Have tinnitus and excessive ear wax...My doctor says Don't remove the wax...that could worsen the tinnitus and I don't want to take that chance.

My Audiologist says no OTC diy stuff. Get them cleaned professionally only. I think Medicare covers that, or used to do so.

I use a Waterpik showerhead set to center pulsating blast to clean out my ear canal.  A doctor would also use significant water pressure to clean ears.  I figure that the initial air would cushion the eardrum, then column of water in the canal would likewise cushion the water pulses.  I've been doing this about once/month for decades. No hearing loss.
