A bit of a left-turn/weird side of DW topic,
For several years I've been having tinnitus, and blocking in my ears. The past few doctors visits I have forgotten to mention this, and a year or two ago the doctor mentioned that maybe I should have my ears flushed.
I try sometimes at home and it only helped a little bit. It turns out they (esp. my right ear) were blocked deep into the ear canal.
Anyway the War and Peace is that I finally went through with the cleaning last Friday and allowed a nurse to flush my ears with warm water and the peroxide.
It took around 20 minutes and was not pleasant, but the difference in hearing and even feeling is amazing. My ears are like a newborn baby, no ringing at all anymore either. As a music listener, I can hear things that were not audible for years. I'm only 37. This was after giving up hope that my blockages and ringing were from loud music, loud shows, loud drums year after year. That I finally did the damage people always warn about.
Additionally I feel more centered and balanced, too.
Anyway, just some food for thought in case anyone else is ever in my situation and thinks they may have some type of irreversible hearing loss or damage from years of abuse or even neglect. It might be worth a shot!
