r/earwax

Any opinion would be appreciated! I’ve asked my audiologist if I possibly had a ruptured eardrum, he did a test and confirmed it’s not a hole!

Usually have watery earwax but went to a drier place and it became sticky

First is my right ear this morning, second is my left ear Sunday and third is left ear last Friday. Still have tinnitus though!

Thinking I had water stuck in my ear after a shower, but no, I did what anyone else with water in their ear would do. Shake your head sideways until the water comes out, But instead of water i got this Black rock of Surprise. Joy. I can hear once again, I am happy. Here's it next to a Canadian 25 cents.

In both ears too

Hey this is probably wrong sub but please, help, so while microsuctioning my ears at home with the special Amazon ear vacuum, my ear bled a tiny bit like maybe 5 drops max and stopped immediately, but alongside it this came out and should i worry or did the wax just scrape my ear? I'm paranoid and tested my ear sounds and i hear everything still very good, no pain at all just a tiny discomfort feeling but when i saw blood in the machine i almost passed out from seeing it lol...

Been on and off sick for a few weeks with an ear infection about a month ago. Guess the shower I had earlier loosened it, ear got itchy so I used my pinky to scratch, and out she came. Didn't even know it was an issue, but definitely feel (and hear) the difference!

After a cry session, it finally got loose. Once I hit adulthood, one of my ears decided it didn't want to clean itself. After trauma at an ear doctor, I decided to do it myself once I realized it wasn't cleaning itself properly again. Successful!!! (Also, I get it if any of you are mad at the way I handled the wax, but keep in mind it was RIGHT on my eardrum, so shit hurt real bad if I moved too fast. I also have really small ears, so it's particularly difficult

Does anyone know why my ear continuously flakes like this? I pick these flakes out and they’re literally back within a day or two! My skin has been doing this for decades in my ears. I’ve gone to dermatologists and they’ve only ever prescribed me hydrocortisone which does nothing.

Is it color is normal ?

Instant relieve I didnt even know was an issue!

There is video footage!

Okay. Long story, one day my ears were so clogged a few years back I decided to use soap and water to clean. Ended up with otitis media. Round of antibiotics in both ears and I was fine. No more pain. Then the pain came back sometime after in my left ear only. Antibiotics didn’t help, oral or local. Everyone keeps irrigating my ear. It just makes it more sensitive after. Everyone keeps talking about how much wax my ears are producing. They clean it and it still hurts. It feels like a stabbing pain on and off but it doesn’t occur as much as it once did

I suspected it was my wisdom teeth. Got all 4 removed bc 2 were impacted. Not much of a difference. Today I decided to buy a camera just to clean my ears, I accepted the pain at this point. The ear looks like this. It’s like white gunk that just smells waxy. The ear looks raw and inflamed, not like my other ear. Could it be an infection that wasn’t resolved??
