Sheesh. Quite the thunder rush while shooting the solution in but it was worth it.
The effect was like cleaning my cable connectors, or replacing worn out tubes. Restored that high frequency "sheen" I was missing.

IMHO high frequencies are not supposed to have a "sheen". Highs in live music do not have a "sheen".

... you are lucky to hear anything, much less sheen.

Never had much luck with home remedies... unfortunately. It takes a trip to the ENT clinic, usually about once every 9 months or so. Before and after SQ is dramatic.

Swimming is another high frequency killer, so it seems lately. Swam in the Ocean last week and finally got the water out of my ear a week later.

Hydrogen peroxide 3% put into the ears until a drastically decrease in bubbling noise will work. Once subjected to HP you then blast it out with the bulb you get in the drug store. The trick is to keep blasting until a chunk comes out. Fill the sink so you can see it. It can take a bit of doing but I always get it to work if there is a plug of wax.

Yeah, I tried that too with a Q Tip but the Q Tip came out the other ear. Nt, posted on July 11, 2021 at 04:36:39

Just so we don't have a duplication of effort, letting everyone know I have notified Martin Sheen
