7. Some of us are just waxier! You will feel so much better

I am a person who gets build up and over the years, I've tried it all. But what works for me is to keep a bulb syringe in the shower and either use drops first, or just use warm water every once in a while. But this is maintenance once you have the built up wax removed.

I even got one of those ear camera things and it was fascinating!

I never use Q tips and my husband does ALL the time and guess who's the one with wax? me

If you are waxy, definitely do not use q-tips

The first time I had the removal done, the sound after was shocking!

Our local CVS can do it if you can't get an ENT appointment.

Cheers to your ears!
