    Honestly though… irrigation to me is just as enjoyable :D

    It’s like scratching an itch in a spot you didn’t even know was itching. And you’re going to love how clean it feels. Definitely get it done at least once if you’ve never experienced it.

        I’m always amazed how much comes out. I always like to take a look after they flush it.

        Last time, my left ear - the one that didn’t even feel clogged - had a plug in it about the size of your pinky distal phalange (the last section of your pinky).

        I didn’t even feel it when it was in there. But I sure as shit felt when it wasn’t! Everything sounded so loud for a day or two afterwards.

          I’ve only had to do it twice, the first time was after a particularly nasty sinus infection where I basically expelled an entire cast of my sinus cavity via sneeze ( 0/10 feeling, do not recommend ) and a second time when I was getting custom studio plugs made.

          You can also get an ear cleaning done by an ent where they’ll use tools, that was … unpleasant but so fucking effective.

      You can actually irrigate at home, the sprayer is cheap and easy to use. I do it for my wife, whose ears get clogged frequently (no she does not use q-tips, she just produces a lot of wax and inherited the genes for it from her dad).
