I noticed the difference also. I could hear the air moving around my head as I walked out of the doctor's office. I asked the doctor if that crud affected my hearing and he told me no. He was wrong.
Clean Ears: Cheap Tweak?
"It was like a veil was lifted..." Well, not exactly, but I am curious about how many audiophiles clean their ears on a regular basis. Not the exterior, but deep inside using a solution like carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide followed by a warm water rinse to remove wax. It's something I do once a year (two treatments a day for several days) and the amount of crud that comes out is surprising. It does seem to make a difference, especially with regard to clarity. Anyone else use this "cheap tweak?"
