I'm trained to do microsuction. It's so much better for your ears than syringing. I have seen too many people with permanent issues now after syringing.

Ah.

You see, I was all prepared to take pictures, and my phone was in my bag at my feet, ready for an opportune moment.

But then he moved it to the other side of the room Shock

When it was all over, I looked for the tissue full of wax to slip into my pocket to show my dp but he'd 'helpfully' cleared it away the twat

So you'll have to take my word for it. It was spectacular

Imagine half a bookie's pencil, but slightly cone-shaped and made of black wax.

I swear to god it did jazz hands when I looked at it.

I am laughing hard at you calling the person who tended to your ears and cleaned up your gunk a twat

So anyway, the right ear.

He put a head torch on and peered down my ear. He couldn't see my ear drum, or any wax because it was too far down.

"Have you been digging things into your ear?" he demanded. With the light shining in my eyes, I felt like I was being interrogated, so I had to confess. Yes, I said. The odd q-tip. And maybe my fingernail.

"Well, I can see the scars," he said. "How long is it since you had your ears cleaned out?"

I confessed it had been twenty years.

He recoiled slightly, but recovered himself.

"Right, I'll go and put the boiler on," he said, and left the room.

I have to say, I quailed a bit at this point.

That sounds amazing!

I got one of my ears blocked once, and used olive oil and had an appointment to syringe it, I was so disappointed when I got there and it had cleared itself Angry

I didn't get the joy of seeing it! Though the nurse said I had shiny eardrums

The last time I had my ears syringed the nurse advised me to request the dry suction 'next time' ( as it took several visits) .... Is this what you had? If so, do you have to do the olive oil softening before hand or not?

I'm right with you OP.

Have mine done every 2 years and can't wait for next time.

Liked the old days best with the big silver syringe, the new fangled electronic water jet thingy is ok but just not the same.

The first time I had this done I was utterly gobsmacked - the lumps of wax and gunge in the kidney bowl was amazing. need a life Grin
