Quetzalcoatl on a cracker, I can HEAR!
I'm a musician, so when I started going kind of deaf in my left ear last week, I kind of started to freak out. But I did my online research, like a good 21st century health conscious person that is suspicious of doctors, and it looked like it was almost definitely just a buildup of ear wax, because there was no pain. I didn't even know that ear wax buildup (or "wax plugs") in the inner canal was a thing really, so I was kind of skeptical of using this product.
But, I did the painless 30 minutes of reading a book while laying down with mysterious science solution in my ear, and then irrigated the joneses out of my left ear with the handy mini turkey baster for like 5 minutes. Holy carp. GIANT GOBS OF EAR WAX CAME OUT. When I was done, the hearing in my left ear was so much better that I immediately sensed that I was partially deaf in my right ear, which I thought had been giving me no problems before. An hour later, after irrigating that ear, I feel like I can hear twice as well, and I don't have the congested/cloudy feeling that I almost always have, and I can actually feel the sweet summer breeze on my ear drums.
I've always had a problem with getting water stuck in my ears, and I always assumed it was because I have narrow ear canals. Nope. I had giant wads of gross evil junk all up in there, being all gross and evil and water-trapping and deafening. If you tend to get water trapped in your ears, you'll know you're about done irrigating when the water just FALLS OUT of your ear canal immediately after you pipe it in.
I feel great.
I feel fantastic.
I can hear.
This thing was only like $11.
BUY THIS THING.
