I've often wondered about this. Is the wax way in the back where it's hard to reach? My ears are clean with no obvious sign of wax buildup. I suppose I should just ask my doctor to look at them.
Around 22 years ago J. Gordon Holt thought he was losing his high frequency hearing, but it turned out he just needed his ears cleaned out by a doctor.
It's way back there. They had to use this giant metal syringe thingy that shoots hot water in to soften the wax and then a stick with a hook on the end to disengage the ball of wax. Sound more painful than it is. Just mildly annoying with a bit of dizziness thrown in when they shoot the water against your eardrum.
As a loud musician for years, I learned a while back (from necessity...maybe a doctor recommended it) about the ear drops/bulb thing. I'm amazed more people aren't hip to it as it's really safe and easy and gets amazing results. Takes a while but man...you remove wax, old car keys, maps of Cuba, a lost cat...and it really tweeks your hearing.
