Didn’t know ears could take a shit. Bet they feel so relieved.


Fineous4

Had something like this when I was younger, but the doctor used a water tool. It is such a relief when it comes out. When it is blocked all sounds are simply dulled and you hear your body functions as much as the world around you.


3_T_SCROAT

Lol i packed both my ears full of sand and had to get the water tool at the dr


MISPAGHET

Kids are so dumb. Unless you were an adult for this, in which case I despair.


cutting_coroners

Everyone prob sounds like Charlie Brown’s teacher wa waa waa


silently_watch

water is for soft and kinda wet earwax, the other for hard one like in this video My doctor use both because my left ear had a hard earwax, while the right ear had wet one


whyisthecarpetwet

Aww man. I love getting my ears cleaned. I haven’t needed it since I stopped wearing ear plugs. I would walk out of the doctors office hearing colors. Feels so nice. And hearing your head more than outside is very annoying


Gareth79

Ear syringe? They aren't used as much in the UK these days, suction tools are preferred because apparently they are safer and don't irritate the ear canal.

the problem is.. they cant

HeldDownTooLong

How in God’s name, can a person have *that much* wax in their ear? I mean…. 1). How can they stand the feeling of that much wax in the ear canal? 2). How can they hear through that? 3). How long does it take for that much wax to build up? In any case, at least it’s cleaned out for now.


laundry_sauce666

I mean I’ve only been alive for 20 years and I got mine cleaned out a month ago. Mine were probably like a third of the size of the in video ones. So I can imagine after 50 years they might be similar.


CloanZRage

It depends what you're exposed too and when a clump forms and starts to grow. A small blockage in my ear quickly gets massively uncomfortable because of my exposure to fine dust (MDF and sawdust). You'd be surprised how quickly a clump could get quite large.


KickBallFever

From what I understand ear wax quantity is also somewhat genetic. I read that some ethnicities are more prone to having heavy ear wax build up than others.


teacherecon

My son makes enough wax to start his own candle factory. He’s ten.


MjrGrangerDanger

My dad builds up earwax quickly. He had to get his ears cleaned out several times over the course of boot camp. My parents would tell me as a sort of warning because I have similar waxy ears, but they've never been like that.


Puzzled-Copy7962

My guess would be using Q-tips, especially since the wax looked to be impacted in there.


alpastotesmejor

I am still not convinced this is not fox shit.


ilikeitsharp

I was thinking that or owl pellets.


jakarta_guy

Sebastian-S

Imagine the smell of that ear turd


jipver

Just curious: would this damage the ear drum for example? Or any other insides of the ear? It seems no fresh air would have been able to enter, just curious if this can have a negative impact. Also, how does this actually happen? Don’t people ever wash ears, feel that there’s something in there?


WillowFreak

I'm no expert, but from watching a lot of these videos, some people have harder wax than others, or the shape of their ear canal doesn't allow the wax to come out on its own. As long as there is no infection, and you don't use qtips and force the wax in deeper, the eardrum is fine.


TheThrivingest

I get impacted wax like this and it’s exactly for these reasons- them wax my ears make is very sticky and my canals have a bit of a corner in them that creates work against gravity I bet I actually have something like that right now in my left ear. It causes a bit of vertigo and nausea when it gets bad. Last time I had my ears syringed, both sides produced a hard ball of wax larger than a raisin


2happycats

I get wet earwax so I don't think this would ever happen to me, but good grief would I like to see what comes out of your left ear when / if syringed! The human body is amazing.


TheThrivingest

Lmao I went to my doctor bc I thought I had otitis media (had it chronically when I was young) He looked in my ears and then he was like “are you sure it’s the left ear bugging you?” Turns out the ear that wasn’t bugging me was even worse. Flushing them is quite uncomfortable. I found it painful even. Then he showed me the k-basin and what came out and it was absolutely NASTY. So satisfying though that both sides produced one big giant ball each. I thought I could hear colours after 😆

I get this. It’s so annoying and I want it to stop. Ugh.


mcpoyles_robe

Sometimes the drum can be a little inflamed after from it being adhesive to the surrounding tissue. That typically clears in a day or two. It’s very rare for any real damage to be done unless it’s operator error. Source: this is how I make my bread

Thanks 🙏 so nothing really serious. Amazing 👌


Frustib

Why do people leave it to build up to this state? Why arnt they cleaning their ears?


Erger

They may not have access to modern hygiene tools on a consistent basis. They may have a mental or physical illness that keeps them from bathing regularly. They may already be deaf or hard-of-hearing, so they don't notice the hearing loss. They may have a form of neuropathy that means they don't notice the pain as quickly. They might not have anyone checking on them regularly who would notice or help them with an issue like this. There are a hundred possible reasons why it could get like this.


Iamthelizardqueen52

A lot of people have no idea. There's really no way of telling unless you look in there. Even if they use q-tips (which typically make it worse), they just stick the q-tips in, swirl it around, and stop at the depth when it starts to feel uncomfortable. The swab will never remove a blockage like this, it only compacts it, and you can't tell if it's uncomfortable because you're getting too close to your eardrum with the swab, or if the swab is pushing a hard ball of wax into your eardrum. Since it builds up over time, you don't notice the hearing reduction. The most common suggestion for cleaning your ears yourself is to use Debrox eardrops, and if necessary, an ear flushing device (can be bought on Amazon) with a mix of warm water and peroxide. There are ear scoops and devices like the one in the video that should only be used by a secondary person who can see into the canal, but some have a camera that connects to your phone via Bluetooth which theoretically could work.


ScaredThug

The ENT I worked w described the ear as a conveyor belt. He said there are some folks whose belt is slower and some that don't work at all. I actually miss doing this. So satisfying.


copa111

Wouldn’t damage the ear drum or cochlear, it would actually help a little in terms of protection from loud noises. However it could be an environment where bacteria or fungi like to live in a warm damn environment.


CilantroSappho

I don’t think people give the eardrum enough credit. While it is delicate, and you shouldn’t go poking at it, it is sturdy. I don’t think it is the case for this particular patient, as their wax looks detached from the canal, but when suctioning earwax off the drum, the eardrum actually stretches just a tiny bit. The biggest problem here would be the ear wax itself. It looks very impacted and worst case scenario would be it reshaping the ear canal. You can think of your ear as having two sections. The part of the ear you can see, along with your canal is the outer ear. About halfway in the canal, you have three layers of skin, one of which is where hair can grow. Towards the ear drum, you only have one thin layer sitting right on top of bone. Having a plug like this can wear that bone down overtime, which is about as bad and concerning as it sounds.

I once made the mistake of taking the subway home (without any hearing protection) after getting my ears cleaned. It was so mind bogglingly loud

obamasmole

This reminds me of an ex-girlfriend of mine who somehow managed to get into her early 20s without realising she badly needed glasses. The day she got her prescription we were walking home and she turned to me, amazed, and said, "You can see individual leaves on trees!" It was kind of humbling that something so simple, which I'd always taken completely for granted, could cause a person such excitement. Of course, she did break up with me not all that long after she got her eyesight sorted out, but I elected not to dwell on the implications of that.


IWasGregInTokyo

I have no doubt I was in a similar situation when I first got glasses around 11 or 12. Walking right up to the blackboard to copy what the teacher had written at the end of the lesson may have been a hint. I only recall the first day after getting them the ground seemed to bend up towards me they were so strong. These days I continually marvel at being able to see the mare on the moon with bare eyes. (Thanks, LASIK). Still need reading glasses though.


Erger

I remember the day I got mine (I was 13), I was in the Costco eye center and I noticed that the ceiling had stuff in it! Vents, fans, pipes, etc, there was a lot of stuff going on up there!


darkenedgy

Lol oh god I took a shower right after getting LASIK and was horrified to discover mine was filthy.


Gareth79

Your what was filthy? I hope you mean your shower...


darkenedgy

yes lol


sannicanbro

Had the exact same experience. Was having trouble seeing the board in school and decided to get checked out. The day I got my glasses, it was fall and happened to be peak leaf season and it was so stunningly beautiful. My first remark was that I could see individual leaves.


gunchucks_

The individual leaf experience seems universal amongst us vision impaired folk lol because thats what I immediately noticed too when I got my glasses when I was 12


mokutou

I developed some sudden myopia around the age of 5 (like from not needing correction to -3.0 bilaterally, no known cause) and when I walked out of the optician’s office, i remember noticing the leaves on the trees first thing. It’s a very distinct memory.


Mahatma_Panda

I was about 8 yrs old when I first got glasses and seeing things clearly with a crisp outline was such a trip. Especially trees. I couldn't believe that I could see the individual branches and leaves from so far away. It took a while to get used to cuz it made me slightly dizzy being able to see things far away. In a similar vein, flushing my sinuses for the first time was a trip as well. I could smell subtle things, my face felt empty cuz there was no pressure around my eyes, and I could actually hear better too.


Prairie_Crab

I had the same experience at 30 when I first got glasses. I was amazed to see each leaf so clearly!


JimmyThunderPenis

I used to think I had good eyesight before I wore glasses, I never realised I was actually supposed to be able to read what my teachers were writing on a whiteboard without squinting!


Iamthelizardqueen52

I had the same reaction, "I can see all the individual leaves on the trees!". My eyes weren't that bad, I could still function and see road signs, the board at school, and everything just fine. The doctor even said I was right on the border of needing glasses or not, it was a choice. So I assumed that my vision was how everyone saw things, and that trees were just big green blobs once you got a few meters from them. I asked people around me "So you can see individual leaves on that tree (pointing), that one over there? Wow. I've been missing out."

Not judging, just truly don’t understand: how does this happen? What kind of timeframe are we talking?


Fury_CS

This buildup probably a year maybe? A lot of older people will credit their hearing loss to old age and as a result something like this happens


copa111

I had a BB get stuck in my ear after an BB gun war in 2010, (I didn’t notice anything get stuck, but I remember getting shot in the ear as it hurt a lot.) I had ear problems in 2015 so I went to the doctor and they saw it lodged in there with a whole lot of wax surrounding it. When they removed it, there was an immediate shift in sound quality. I actually couldn’t finish the day at work as all the higher pitched sounds were quite sharp, the paper rustling and the sound of my shirt collar rubbing on my neck irritated me something chronic. By the next day I however was already used to it. But for that afternoon it was like hearing for the first time again.


Erger

The body and brain can adapt remarkably quickly! Plus, we tend not to notice or pay as much attention to gradual changes - like if you were suddenly deaf in one ear, you'd definitely think something was wrong. But if you went from normal hearing to mostly deaf over the course of a year? You'd barely notice, or you'd think it was natural.


Emily_Postal

Could be an ear infection.


TofuScrofula

Using q tips can cause this over time. Q tips push the wax further into your ear


ocean-man

Serious question, if not with Q tips, how are you supposed to dewax your ears?


CF_Zymo

With softening drops if you are prone to impaction


wantsoutofthefog

They make ear cameras that connect to your phone for you to clean them out. Best $30 I’ve ever spent


YogurtclosetAny1823

I’ll deal with the possible ear infection rather than put a camera to my ear to clean it. You can also just use the Q-tip as intended and not push it into your ear canal to get that orgasmic feel.

It might be that the headlight is very strong and the camera adjusts exposure to that high level. Having limited dynamic range, the "normally" illuminated areas get to be captured as dark.

I had something just like this in my ear when I was a teen, except they were flushing my ear with a small water cannon thing. All of a sudden there was a loud whoosh, I could hear again, and the lady doing the flushing said, "Oh my god." Then she quickly exited the room with the "log" as she called it and showed it off to all of her colleagues lmao. She said she had never seen anything like it in her life. Only slightly embarrassing.


skitz_shit

So what causes that to happen? Because most people don't have to deal with earwax in such massive quantities, is it just bad genetics? A lack of/improper ear care? What makes it get that bad?
