Default Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Not a medical thread... nope not at all.... really ;)

So. I was wondering, I have always thought of getting your ears syringed as something you have done as a child (I think I was about 7).

I can't remember having it done since then :/ but can only hear about 90% out of my right ear.

Has anyone had them syringed as an adult and are you allowed?

Thanks!

Yeah my Dad often has it done. In theory it should improve his hearing but I think he's going deaf anyhow

I see no reason why you shouldn't be allowed.

If it'll help, then do it.

I had to have it done a couple of years ago - isn't pleasant but they do still do it for adults

I avoid getting them syringed, it can be quite uncomfortable I've found

Ear Candles FTW! http://www.lynnehancher.co.uk/aaahop.htm

Regularly listening to loud music I get a big build up of wax and junk, usually cotton buds dipped in olive oil do the trick for me, I know my ear inside out so I know where I can and can't stick the things and I usually manage to clean them safely.

If there is a big block and I can't hear properly then candles all the way, strangely sothing too.

They're not scary, they sound funky when they're burning and are quite soothing because of the warmth.
