Advantages: hear clearly

Disadvantages: none

I have never personally suffered with my ears and for that i am very grateful as i know how much pain my hubbys ears cause him.

Working in a dusty enviroment and the build up of natural wax in my hubbys ears slowly over the course of a few years made his hearing reduce quite significantly to a point where he mumbled rather than talking to you as he no longer had any control over volume and would constantly need you to repeat things when you spoke to him, as most of you will know getting a man to a doctors is a mission but he reluctantly went to see his gp who gave him ear drops that he had to put into his ears twice a day for 7 days to soften the built up ear wax ready to go back and have his ears syringed.

I got dragged along with him as moral support not that i know why i was there or what i was supposed to be doing to help him as he was the one that had to have his ears syringed.

Syringing your ears sounds a lot worse than it actually is, you sit with your head tilted to the side whilst a small tube is used to push water into your ear at a high pressure and a bowl is held under the ear to catch the water and wax that comes out. My hubby said this didnt actually hurt but made his throat tickle and him cough a bit.

After his hearing was very sensative for a few days and he found noisy enviroments quite daunting but soon got used to being able to hear clearly again.

Summary: not as bad as he thought it would be
