Easy CHEAP upgrade for the stock BOSE sound system and your exhaust

hehehe...

Had been recently experiencing a loss of hearing on my left ear, so I tried all available options lik ear wax removal oil, ear syringes and some expensive stuff called "earigate", but none of them worked. I finally went to the doctors and he took out this giant syringe to blast my ear canal...

It's all clean now, but wait a minute, holy ****...... the TREBLE is back... the high fidelity audio of the BOSE system is there! It's so crisp and clear. The birds are chirping far away and I can hear them too.

Everything I hear now is so damn crystal clear, I feel like I have super hearing now cause I can hear the tiniest of sounds.

The exhaust and intake can be heard separately now!

Seriously, go clean your ears people, and BTW, doctor said NO AMOUNT OF NORMAL maintenance like cleaning your ears in the shower will clean the real ear wax thats deep in your canal. You just have to go visit your doctor every so often to get that water blast to take everything out. I saw so many chunks of stuff coming out of my ear when he finished.

Amazing!

lol in pharmacy school they pretty much told us all the ear wax removal stuff you find in a pharmacy doesn't work all that well... I try to tell people to go to their doctor to get their ears cleaned haha but most people are like "wtf !!! that f**ked up - just lemme buy the ear wax removal stuff"

... hmm about time I payed my MD a visit for this...

I'll vouch for this. Although I just bought a small syringe and did it myself. Took me about an hour, but an appointment with my doctor takes 2 weeks anyways.

Oh and when it comes out. Don't look at it.

I tried the ear syringe, it doens't work too well because the size of the syringe does not allow you have a long enough constant blast... if you have impacted ear-wax (from SEVERAL YEARS WORTH) i.e. never visited a doctor to clean it out, those small syringes won't work.

You could also use some diluted hydrogen peroxide...that works as well...leave the syringe to the MDs...you might pock and break your ear drum...

It's uncomfortable. They should use lukewarm water. Too hot or too cold could make you dizzy i believe.

It doesn't hurt, the jet blast lasta maybe 3 seconds continuous at most and then he might do it a couple of times. You get a catch cup to see all the crap that comes out; it's so nasty!!! but you feel so relieved after.

Also, I was real dizzy immediately after from the imbalance of ear fluids. I had to sit out by the clinic waiting area for a good 10 minutes before I left. No biggie.

Ear cleaning FTW... I'm a regular for this procedure now.
You get use to the syringe blast after a while. Do yourself a favor though. Loosen up the wax with mineral oil overnight in each ear before going in for cleaning.

Syringe and a catch can...

Maybe we should have that mod in the signature

The problem is that not all doctors seem to have the water blast syringe. I went one time to a walk in clinic and they used a wire lasso type tool to pull out a hunk of wax. It hurt quite a bit. Normally you shouldn't stick things in your ears because it will damage your ear drum. This doctor had no concern for that and my ear bled afterwards. I'm positive it was my ear drum by the way it all occurred.
