Super Cheap Upgrade


Got my ears cleaned today. So much wax, it was like there was a pencil eraser in each ear. It's like I bought a new $3500 cartridge for only $85.

As a loud musician for years, I learned a while back (from necessity...maybe a doctor recommended it) about the ear drops/bulb thing. I'm amazed more people aren't hip to it as it's really safe and easy and gets amazing results. Takes a while but man...you remove wax, old car keys, maps of Cuba, a lost cat...and it really tweeks your hearing.
People often don't use the Bulb Douche properly...you need to let the drops do their thing for 10 to 15 minutes, then keep blasting warm water in your ear until things start to shake up and wax starts to bail out of your head. I need this maybe once a year, so there's no fear of wax deprivation. If water comes out of the other ear while doing this, your head may be empty...a bad sign. Also, you can save the wax and use it for turntable spindle lubricant.
The "DIY" (douche bulb and goo) route was originally suggested by my doctor over 30 years ago, and reaffirmed recently by my current physician. Although this method might not work for everybody, to suggest that the proper use of this method risks hearing loss is a silly and unsupported claim.
