Bummer!

 First time failure on clearing out my ears via suction.  The woman seemed quite reluctant to try as I have thin ear canals which were very bunged up. Finally persuaded her to have a go and after a few attempts she cleared the right one. The left one was even fuller and she only got a bit out before it started to hurt!

The guy I normally get usually has no problems and I had used ear drops for two weeks in that ear as I knew it was bad.

Nope, she decided to refer me to Adam (whoever he is) as he is more qualified. Unfortunately, having been deaf in that ear for a few weeks, I wasn’t too happy to wait another 10 days but hey ho!

Roll on mid month when hopefully Adam will prevail.

It is something I have to have done on a very regular basis due to reduced ear canal size, overproduction of wax and dry skin:( It’s just annoying that most doctors surgeries have stop doing it so we now have to pay!

    1. Thank you, me too. The pressure is very uncomfortable.

  2. I can't stand being deaf! It makes me feel claustrophobic. I used to get blocked ears regularly, along with otitis externa caused by swimming with the kids when they were little in the local baths. Now I don't swim regularly it's cleared up, but I had one or two panic attacks caused by deafness. I hope you get sorted.

    1. It is certainly annoying to say the least. Not just lack of hearing fullness and discomfort, but strange noises as I can hear it rubbing up against my ear drum.

  3. Sounds horrible - scuse the pun. Very thankful it's something I've never had a problem with . Hope Adam sorts it

  4. Harvey has that same problem, but he is lucky enough that we have a doctor who still does the cleaning. He also uses drops before visiting for his cleaning.

    God bless.

    1. I did but it made no difference to the left ear. Still using them now even though it is a week today before it will be cleaned, hopefully!
