Had my ears syringed
« on: 08 February 2008, 19:32:56 »
Had my ears syringed today & woe. Iv'e heard stuff i've never heard before, like the tick of my indicators & just how good my Mig sounds. The nurse got out a piece the size of a good sized garden pee from each ear. She asked me if my job was dusty (no), but i used to be a steel fabricator up to 5 1/2 years ago so it was.
I just couldn't believe what came out & i'm a very clean person, im  always cleaning my ears.
If you've never had it done, i fully recommend it  :y :y

Hearing is a bit like eyesight (and car performance) `gradually goes away with time....`not enough so you notice, but very obvious when it returns.  :o

Do they actually use water to flush-out, or is it a suction device of some sort?

Seriously ..... you've probably been shoving the sh1te down your ears as you 'clean' them out. The nurse at work used to say that you should only ever use your opposite elbow.  ;)  :y

The nurse filled a little container with warm tap water which fed a liitle pulsating pump, then a tiny hollow stick/tube was inserted into my ear, it was actualy very pleasant.
She asked me to hold a cup next to my neck to catch whatever came out (15 yrs of welding, grinding). She recommends i go back every 2 yrs, as should everyone.

The inconvenience of being deaf on one side must be  :'(
I was only like it for a week & that was bad enough. I bet your looking forward to having it done  :)
