Ear wax lump from hell

I’ve had earache for a couple of weeks, well today I touched my ear and was like “what the hell is that”. A HUGE lump of wax was hanging halfway out of my ear.

Are you ready for this?? I still can’t believe it 🤣

That's gross but lovely.... like getting a great spot. I had my ears syringed and asked for the wax to be put in a sample bottle to take home and show my husband. Don't know why but he wasn't impressed !

LTB. Who wouldn’t be impressed with that?

I run an ear wax removal clinic and believe me that's average... quite impressive that it came out on it's own though!

Doctor here. That is certainly not a lump of ear wax. Possibly something that got in your ear - but also unlikely as you could still hear. And that is about twice as wide as a normal ear canal. If not more. I’d probably book to see your own doctor tbh

Not a doctor here. Just a lifelong owner of weird ear canals that produce a shit tonne of wax that doesn't vacate on it's own.
I have no idea why you think Ruby isn't earwax, especially seeing you're a doctor! And ear canals come on different sizes you know.
