The best $99 system upgrade ever!

Also periodically cleaning all your connections and re terminating your speaker wires can be like you cleaned the wax out of your ears.

Reading a Fremer article on turntable floor bounce I took his suggests and placed a block of wood between my rack and the wall problem solved for free.

@earlflynn,
Took a whole week to respond to that?
How wasted were you from celebrating Juneteenth anyway?
Who brought up voting?
And, thanks for losing it on Father's Day.
Most entertaining from a Notre Dame graduate.

Why cause I said Hmmm?
You are the one that went down the dimly lit alley, Pius one.
So Pius and yet so wrong.I did not vote for the Cheeto and I sure did not vote for Corn Pop.

This is what my doctor used:  https://doctor-easy.com/products/elephant-ear-washer.  Amazon sells it.  It comes with a cup but use it in the shower for no mess.  Just use some ear solution like Debrox, plug your ears for 10 minutes, then irrigate.  Make sure the water in the bottle is warm and pump it a few times to warm up the tube.  You'll be astonished if you do this every few months.  Sometimes it's necessary to do the treatment two days in a row.  Once my ears were so full of wax when I returned home I had to turn the volume down on all my sound devices.  It's really the cheapest, most professional upgrade you can do for better sound.

I've been using the ear water bulb wax removal stuff for many years...works like a charm and is harmless. Somehow I doubt any ear doctor would recommend anything else. Health tip: Never try to blow the wax out of your ears with a small explosive.

I find that when I awake in the morning, my earwax is soft. A Q-tip, though not advised my doctors, removes the wax with ease and no discomfort what so ever. My hearing is excellent. My selective hearing is another issue.

Do not use the high pressure devices with a small nozzel, like the ENT's often use - they can very easily damage your ear drum.  

Slay's technique is by far the safest, most effective means of clearing the ear wax - so, long as you use warm water and not too much pressure.  Use the alcohol dryer to dry them out afterwards.  Once a month keeps them clear.

I got it! Take the earwax and use it instead of the $600 contact enhancement stuff. 

Seems like there is some"noise" from an ex Pres. stuck in someone's head.

Audio forum comments with constant political content are getting real old and sickenening.

After all, there are forums for that bullshyte.

The moderator removes swears but not off topic nonsense that helps no one in the AUDIO community.
Interesting....

Use all this junk and damage your ears good luck!!

Huh? What?

Could human earwax work like deoxit?

Very neat! I watched the attached video and am wondering if it could also be used to inspect and photograph a stylus?

Not sure if this is the west way to remove wax. When I am showering , I put a little soap in my ear and then let the shower run I'm my ear to clean it out.

WHAT! NO Debrox recommendations?

Seems to be more effective than peroxide for me. Also use the cap end of a BIC pen for those pieces that feel "right there, if only I had something..."

Oh yeah MC...Supertramp approved!

For those of you who attend very LOUD rock concerts here is something you might be interested in.  Earasers -  tuned ear plugs for musicians.

Furniture coasters so you can move your speakers around. 

Just be happy he doesn't go for the little kids the current guy.......

earlflynn is getting to be as creepy as Rump with his whatever he had going with Ivanka.

$12 Ear wax removal kit from local Walgreens every once on a while does the job for me.

I've been using hydrogen peroxide in my ears ever since I was a kid,

laying on my aunt's lap, as she helped to get rid of my excessive

wax.

Hmmm 

“ I found this new device called axle Glade that has a camera attached to a little spoon like device that helps you get the gunk out of your head.”

Verry nice indeed! Has the spoon been Cryo treated? 

i think this is a new use for my cordless drill...

Forget the ear plugs.  What you want to to do is put on a blackout eye mask for several hours before each listening session.  The loss of sight really improves the other senses.  

Ear plug guy here since 35 or so. Saving what I have. Well worth it. Ear wax can be an issue though. Part deaf in one ear but I can get my rig to sound right, too me. Damn I'm old, over 60.

I'm with MC in a way. I never took them out through the day for 40 plus years. I drove home with ear plugs BEFORE service trucks HAD AC and never stopped the practice..

It would ruin a listen session driving home in 100 degree heat. With only a wing window (remember those) and safety glasses keeping the wind and BUGS  out of your EARS, EYES and TEETH!!

Demolition work, big breakers, and DEEP excavation is a real killer on ears.. Top Hammer drilling too.. LOUD.. Plugs, MUFFS.. and distance..
Everyone is in the hole, EVERYONE is making noise. Boy do I miss that.. LOL I like pulling my own teeth and smashing my fingers to remind me.. A needle in the eye every now and then. Just for good measure..

Self circumcision comes to mind too.. A day of work in the Imperial Valley CA Baha HA HA!!! 35 mph Santa Anna winds in 120 degree heat.. Vegas seems Easy after a few times there. Lose your hearing in the wind and sand..

These are nuggets newbies.. Take care of the AIRWAYS and the EAR WAYS FIRST.

Pays big time in the end..

I'm afraid of what my system might sound like if I remove ear wax :)

I go to a ENT DR as im not one this week

I've been using hydrogen peroxide in my ears ever since I was a kid, laying on my aunt's lap, as she helped to get rid of my excessive wax. 
She was a nurse. Loved the way it tickles.

Thanks OP. I've used a baby suction bulb with water & peroxide every couple of months for years. Works great. Only thing about ear plugs is you push wax in the opposite direction you want it to go.

I wear ear plugs every night. Every morning when I take them out, wow I can hear everything just like new again!

If you can't hear it you can't fix it.  Pretty simple stuff. I did work with a Blind mechanic though.. Ford/Chrysler guy. Rudy Salazar. 

He had some serious EARS too.. He could HEAR.. Mechanics smoke a lot of times.. (I don't). Smoking and NOISE will cause your ears to overproduce CRAP.. Natures way of saying.. TAKE CARE OF ME..

Pay attention..

Good stuff Mr Ray Smith..

I'm only missing HALF an ear.. Just call me SUE. :-)
