My left ear closed up on me over the weekend. The result is that my hearing was about 50%. I noticed that I had a lot of wax in my left ear, so I scheduled an appointment to get it checked out.
The doctor took a quick look and said "yup, you have a lot of wax in that ear".
With some warm water and a syringe, she was able to quickly flush it out. When the water was in my ear, it sounded like an ocean! Two quick washes, and I saw all of the wax that was removed. It was incredible (and smelly). I wanted to take a picture, but Jenn wouldn't let me. I was really surprised how much junk has been clogging up my ears!
I instantly was able to hear much better. Now my right ear felt like the clogged one! A couple of washes later, both ears were in tip-top shape.
Twenty bucks and five minutes later, I walked out thinking that this was the best doctor's visit I've ever had. No long recovery. No prescriptions or medications. No referrals No x-rays. Just a simple procedure with dramatic results.
Next time, I won't hesitate to get my ears cleaned out. :-)
