And jesus christ, everything is so loud haha. I work in a server room, that has 2 mainframes going 24/7, 4 printers, and 3 x 6 foot tall air con units. So yeah, it's pretty loud. Just thought I'd tell everyone lol.
 
I hear ya, there's some special ear plugs to buy, especially for these frequency ranges, I had them when I had to work in a server room myself for quite some time, I can only recommend 'em, they just filter the annoying stuff and once you've worn them a couple times you really don't notice 'em at all...

If I can find a link online I'll post it right here..
 
Hahaha, and of course what better way to remove water, than with water! :lol: I get what your saying though dude. I q-tip every time I get out of the shower, so I doubt this would do me any good, but it's cool to know about...

Q-tips I hear is what causes you to have to get a cleaning among other things. Pushes the wax in. I'm no expert on the subject, thats just what I've heard. ?

I think I'm gonna get a cleaning myself. I think you hear drastically better after.

Nasty gunk :zombie:
 
I can hear much more now than I ever did lol. And yeah, Q-tips are the devil for your ears, just pushes the wax back in and compacts it.
 
I got syringed about a year and a half, i remember that i could even hear the water sounds of a fish tank that the doctor has, was like a pristine, fine and enjoyable first sound to hear after the treatment, the warm water at high pressure fells good, haha, i even got kinda tickles in the eye.

Yeah, doctors don´t recomend Q-tips because instead of help to remove wax, it pushes inside your ear.

I think is time to get my ears syringed again Lol.
 
You guys pay to have that done? Hydrogen Peroxide and an ear syrigne from a drug store does the same thing. I love the sound of the wax disinegrating. Makes me feel like I accomplished something.
 
they sell drops that will dissolve the ear wax

Yeah, to a degree, but not when it's jammed so far down your ear. Trust me I know from experience that this doesn't always relieve it.

Hell no! It's free (about the only thing I like about the English Health Service).
 
I don't know about the US, or anywhere else in the world, but over here they don't really like doing it, you have to keep nagging them. Also I've heard that they're no longer training medical staff how to do it over here, so eventually it'll only be the older nurses that will know how to do it.

that's really unfortunate, i got mine cleaned out a few months ago and it was AMAZING all the shit i could hear! there aren't a lot of things that compare to getting that top end back. i'd never had them cleaned before professionally and my build-up got to the point where i'd wake up and everything would sound like i had earplugs in. it would get better within the hour most of the time, actually i think i slept a lot better back then. i think it blocked off most stuff above 15k, i was worried that i had lost it all. then i got all the buildup removed, and got the hearing tested up to 16k and it's all good.
i was fucking relieved.

sorry for the ramble, i just can't recommend this enough to people, especially if you're involved in audio in some way!
