roaring good times



this time,  the roaring comes not from my ear but from my laughter, MUAHAHAHA...

i can hear now, i can hear now!

no, i don't have a sick eardrum, just a very congested one.

so congested no ordinary ear drop will work. instead, a vacuum thingamajig was called for.

yes, now i can laugh. but it wasn't so funny when you are seated in the hot seat, squirming in embarrassment as the ENT doc seemed to take great delight in showing you the chunks of gunk he had fished from the depths of your ear canal.

lesson learnt: NEVER, NEVER clean your ears.
                         not with your finger, not with your towel, and esp not with cotton buds.

this lesson cost me two hundred bucks.

doc says ear is self-cleaning.

or maybe it's just a sales pitch. you don't clean it for ages, it gets congested and you go see him and pay $200 to get the gunk out.

or you could ask your mom for those bamboo ear diggers she got from china :-)

those don't push ear wax, those scoop.
