All I know is that drops to remove my ear wax really did not work. The irrigation at my doctor’s just left me really hurting, my ear wax was stubborn. I went back to drops and plucking with q-tips and got some out. Finally dumped some peroxide in there and all out, no problem.

Mo: SUCTION?! Oh, I don’t know! If it was eargasmic, then maybe . . . but it sounds like ear flushing on steroids. My doctor asked me at one point (during the flushing) if I felt dizzy or nauseous. I hadn’t thought about it, but I guess it makes sense that you could get motion-sickness-sick. I’m glad your ears are clean!

My ears were flushed in 2006 and, as I have motion sickness, I had the worst case of vertigo and nausea for 3 days. I was basically useless and 'homeridden' till it subsided. I got blocked ears again last year and put off going for months (I was practically deaf too) and, when I could finally take it no longer, I went to a doctor and he used a suction machine. Basically, it's a long, really thin metal nozzle that's attached to som suction machine. He sticks it in your ear and "WHOOSH!", all the wax is vacuumed out and you can hear again! It takes less than 2 mins in total for both ears but feels so eargasmic, I was a little dissapointed when it ended. Go to an ENT with a suction machine! Mo’s last blog post..Hi folks

Heh, one of my mates got addicted to those ear drops too. What do they put in them, I wonder?

Grace: I think most people find the ear flushing to just be uncomfortable or weird-feeling. My doctor says if you try to flush out the ear while there’s a bunch of hardened wax in there, it can be painful. Comforting eyedrops? That’s interesting. I can see the nasal spray, as I used to be addicted.

I absolutely can't stand water or any other liquid in my ears! I do my best NOT to get water in my ears when I shower because it feels so icky, and the only eardrops I remember having were very uncomfortable. On the other hand, the only ear flushing I had was uncomfortable (see reason above), but nowhere near painful. Eyedrops? very comforting. Nasal spray? ditto. Eardrops? only if prescribed, and as infrequently as possible. Grace’s last blog post..A Cough-less New Year's Eve Night and a Happy New Year

Lin: Thank you! I love your cocktail hour idea. Pour me a gimlet! Darryl | Angela: I'm very pleased with your assessment. Please drop by again, won't you? cardiogirl: Hmmm. You may not be ready to admit it in a public forum, but I suspect you ARE a peroxide addict. It's OK, tho. We all need a good eargasm every now and then.

I cannot confirm nor deny that I understand or have experienced an eargasm. Having said that, a "friend" of mine enjoys a similar sensation by putting hydrogen peroxide in her ears. It produces that crackling, cold sensation and it gets the wax out of my ears. Um, I mean her ears. My friend's ears. The one who uses the peroxide. Yeah. Good luck with all that. cardiogirl’s last blog post..She might be the next Miss America

That post was just strangely compelling, in a sort of disturbing and yet familiar kind of way.
