Ear Syringing, Have you?

[LittleTalia]

Probably posting in the wrong place completely but as one of the few forums I read now I thought I'd ask.

What's it like having your ears syringed? I've got to have mine done next week and I am worried I'll have a panic attack mid way through.

It used to be great, used to be a high, then they changed the method. Now its really boring and barely works unless you've properly oiled them for days. You wont freak. Its just a small vibration now. Used to be full-on swirly head high...or something.

What is ear syringing and how does it produce a high??

I once had a hematoma in my ear (cauliflower ear is what they call it in wrestling) and had the blood removed with a syringe to get rid of the issue, but it didn't produce a high that's for sure.

I used to climb trees and wield a chainsaw on a daily basis, whilst wearing ear defenders. All the sweat, noise, heat and humidity made for some waxy ears and I experienced deafness in both ears over the course of two days.

Syringing was easy, pleasurable relief from the sudden deafness I had experienced and the colossal wax build-up which was almost unbelievable when I was invited to look in the bowl after treatment. It is like a visit to an aural hygienist who removes all this brown waxy gunk from out of your ears.

So, nothing to worry about, it's actually quite pleasant. Sensation is pain-free and there are no injections involved. Just a harmless jet of warm water.

However, something I would consider for immediately after the operation are some ear plugs, in case you have to walk by a noisy, busy road, especially if the road is wet, because prepare to be amazed, your sense of hearing will never be as good as when you leave that clinic!
