Ear wax

I get lots in one ear. Not much in the other. What causes this?

It's common for one ear to produce more earwax than the other, and the shape and size of the ear canals can contribute to this difference. Additionally, factors like genetics, age, and how you clean your ears can also play a role.

All from the left

Normal for absolutely every human. Usually it will come out naturally. If it's a problem go to a clinic and get it irrigated. You can also try putting a few drops of cooking oil in your ear and keep it in with a bit of cotton wool. This will soften the wax up and help it come out. Remember the old saying. "Never stick anything smaller than your elbow in your ear".

Apparently Wild Bill Hickok had 3 ears. A left ear. A right ear. And a wild front ear. I dunno if that's true.  🤣

Yes, I've always had more issues in my left ear regarding wax. When I was a regular SCUBA diver, I would have to go to the local clinic around every 6 months or so to get it cleared out.

Or better still, get a 'smart visual ear spoon'. My ears have never been so clear since I bought one last year. I can even see my own ear drum!

Not good! Wax does not build up that quickly. It's a slow process, I know I've lived with it for years.

 

You should get your ear checked by a doctor, you might have an infection, either bacterial or fungal.

How much do u charge?

Never put anything in your ear. Go to the doctor for a check up first and they put a product in, can’t remember the name.

Too many posts on AN is the major cause. I'm sure (well probably not) that you'll be able to figure out how to solve it.
