Earplugs

[Wharfe]

Yeah, with you all the way - now I know I am prone to wax, and tend also to compress it with aforementioned earplugs, I treat my ears myself every few months with Otex or something similar. This also after a b*ll*cking from the practice nurse (!) who clearly felt syringing my ears was somehow beneath her... Cheeky cow, it's yer job FFS....

Ear wax??? i'm a martyr to the feckin stuff, a few years back the need for syringing was getting to be every couple of months or so & as you may know syringing isn't good for the ears so now i have to put olive oil in twice a week otherwise it hardens like bell metal & it's a hammer & chisel job. Failing that i could always open me own candle shop.

Why don't you leave a little bit of string in there and every two weeks pull out a nice little candle

There is a plus side to too much - Mrs Sharp lug holes must be as clean as a whistle and the slightest breeze and she get ear ache I think the wind just gos straight in and bounces off here ear drum

Some years ago there was a story - purportedly a true one - in the back of the British Medical Journal (my landlady was a doctor ok?) - A woman had gone to her GP complaining of "something stuck in me ear". A quick inspection revealed a bead or somesuch lodged deep in her ear, and she was advised to book with the nurse for a syringing. "Oh?" says the lady. "Can't you just poke something through the other side, like a knitting needle or summat, and push it out?" The GP paused to take in the full extent of this woman's stupidity, before coming back with "well normally madam, the presence of a large intra-cranial mass prevents such a procedure. However in your case I think it might be possible..."

I had a strange one last week when the wax in my left ear started to taste strange. I couldn't work it out. I used a process of elimination and in the end it turned out just to be my left index finger that tasted funny. I still don't know what that was?!
