Thirty dollar upgrade worth thousands

Helpful $30 suggestion - clean your ears! I purchased a otoscope (the instrument for visualizing your ear canal and eardrum) from Amazon for $20, called the original Doctor Mom. Plus $5 in Debrox ear drops (most recommended way of cleaning) at the pharmacy. Even though I though my hearing was fine, my wife could easily see that I had wax buildup. Clearing this out might just save you 20K in equipment chasing for better sound.

"A elderly man is driving down the LIE when he's pulled over by a cop. Cop says, "Sir, do you realize your wife fell out of the car a mile back?" The man says, "Thank God -- I thought I was going deaf." (insert rimshot here)

Great lol responses! Zd, you have a point - what happens if now you can hear the ear piercing sound of much of modern equip that is tipped up in the highs? Also should put in a disclaimer not to use if you have an ear piercing wife!

Seems foolish to risk your hearing for $30. Best to go to a real doctor to have wax removed.

My wife told me I never listen to what she says, or something like that!

Gammajo,

Some audiophile you are.

"Even though I though my hearing was fine, my wife could easily see that I had wax buildup. Clearing this out might just save you 20K in equipment chasing for better sound."

If you upgrade your hearing, you then have to upgrade your system. Save 20k? I say spend 40K. (For starters).

Wow, that's a first. Who would have thought? People rarely pay attention to this matter. Not the most appetizing subject, but makes total sense. And it most likely will improve your auditory reception. Thanks for the tip.
