Went to the doctor on Monday thinking I had an ear infection, so she had a look and told me that they were completely blocked up with wax.
I thought I was partially deaf for the last few years after working with headphones on 12 hours a day for a long time, but it looks like it was just wax all along....
So I went back today after softening up the wax all week with drops, and she flushed my ears out with a big syringe.
Amazing how much stuff came out, serious big lumps of nasty brown wax.
Walked out of the surgery and it is like a whole new world. Stereotypically there was a jackhammer working away, but I walked through the market and it was SO LOUD! I can now hear everyone typing at work, and I can hear people on the phone. Amazing!
