Incredible improvement in sound quality

Ok, I am an old fart with a stereo. But my system sounds so much better tonight. Why? I went to my doctor today, as I do every six months (one of my favorite people)… and he noticed that one ear had a lot of wax. So, he had his nurse use a warm water irrigation device to clear it. Wow.

I use some drops, and work to keep my ear canals clear. But, for some reason I was not able to clear my right ear.

So, wow. My system sounds so much better. Sometimes you just need a professional. Although technically you can buy these devices for a couple hundred on line. You need to realize you need to use it.

I use Debrox every month. But what I have learned is, sometimes that is not enough.

The last month or so, my allergies have been really bad. 

I see my doctor ever six months. He knows I am an audiophile… so, pays attention.
 

I think it was a year ago I had them cleaned.

Thanks. Do you put the krill oil in your ear, or ingest it? I take an omega supplement.

 

The water thing makes sense.

No to Qtips… absolutely, if you have ear wax… they just push it in… not a good thing.

 

I bought an orthoscopic camera for my ears last year… I am thinking the late winter is a problem for me. It is a camera and light… with a small spoon to scoop out wax. The display is your iPhone… so, you see what you are doing. While I cannot recommend the spoon… being able to look into your ear, it is really interesting. You can see the long cannel and wax… all the little hairs. So, I understand the anatomy now.

I bought a Leiput ear wax optical device that connects with your iPhone to show you the inside of your ear. It is the size of a pen and displays the real time images on your iPhone. While it has little spoons to attach to remove wax. It was most useful just to look around. Getting wax out when clogged I just find best to leave to the nurse. I can easily see why other folks have chosen differently. But I fround this camera really useful to<figure out what is going on.
