So, Monday morning I woke up with my right ear ring-buzzing and with some ear pressure causing some pain. Loads of not-fun. It finally got irritating enough to consider heading to the clinic (the free clinic courtesy of the bullshit health insurance I have) to get it looked at. Turns out I was wrong that the middle ear canal was congested with whatever, I had yet another wax cap on the ear drum. This time, they irrigated it (no more little hoop-removal-tool-thingies for me, EVER!) and got the wax out. The irrigation this time, though had a cute little glue-gun-like contraption that not only injected the water but also sucked almost all of it right back out as well. Warm water plus water pressure loosened the cap up and cleared me back out. No pain, no sounds. And, disconcertingly, MUCH more acute hearing on that side again. Very minute crinkling of a plastic shopping bag actually sounds a LOT like a leak in the door on a rainy day it seems. :)

Ah, the lack of discomfort is definitely a delight, though.
