When I was 18 my earwax changed from wet to flaky; I have no idea why but this is what comes out now.

Annual ear cleaning haul

I used generic Debrox. I usually clean out my ears once or twice a year. I leave Debrox in my ear for 20-30 minutes because I have hard, dry ear wax. It comes out super easy after that with warm water. Ears feel so clean now. I get such a high after cleaning my ears.

What is growing over my eardrums?

Sorry for the bad pictures. I clean my ears with this tool once per month or so but i never get close to my eardrums. I know im not a medical professional so i dont mess with anything deep.

When i went to clean my ears today, i noticed two similar obstructions/growths/i dont know whats over both ear drums. Normally id figure it was some deep wax or something and leave it alone, but the fact they showed up in both ears, with similar shapes, at the same time, has me worried?

You can see it better in the first picture, but it actually looks like there are veins in it, leading me to think thisnis some sort of skin growth as opposed to just earwax.

Im probably going to see a doctor about this hut wanted to check first if theres any chance its nothing to worry about. Thanks!

Can eating spicy food reduce earwax blockage?

I wore earplugs 2 years ago because I had tinnitus after exposed to an extremely loud hair trimmer during haircut. I became sensitive to loud noise. After that, my right ear started to feel uncomfortable due to earwax blockage. The discomfort became worse as there is also pressure sensation beside my right eye and near my right ear. I stopped wearing earplugs since then but the discomforts still persists until now. Sometimes I feel and hear earwax when I turn my head. I tried ear drops, irrigating my ear with shower head at home, ear suction at clinic but the discomfort still exists. Can eating spicy foods help to reduce earwax blockage?

Help

My 2 1/2 has ear plugs in both ears. Took her to the doctor for a check up and found out she’s got serious ear plugs. He tried to flush her ears and said the plug was too hard and there was nothing else he could do.
She’s not a fan of me cleaning out her ears unless in the tub with a washcloth, and that doesn’t go nearly deep enough to get this out.
Any advice? I’ve tried drops for 7 days, with no luck. I’m sure this is bothering her and I want them out. I’m assuming they’ve been there awhile since they are so hard.
