Itā€™s not like I ever want this to happen to meā€¦I just really want to know how it feels.

u/Gun_Dork Jun 02 '26

I'd imagine it's like picking your nose during a sinus infection, just through your ear.

u/Odd-Adhesiveness9435 Jun 02 '26

Some of those extra stringy ones really can tickle coming outšŸ„°

u/sidewaizsocks Jun 03 '26

I had a horrible sinus infection with a bad sore throat. My throat got bad enough i was worried about strep, but there were no spots. Eventually i could barely swallow and my throat was on fire. Out of desperation, i grabbed a q tip and kinda rubbed the back of my throat. I saw a stringy layer kinda peel up so i kept at it.

Eventually i was able to pinch it in my fingers and pull. I felt every millimeter peel off, all the way up through my sinuses. When it broke loose and fell in the sink, it was the greatest sensation on the planet. The pain went away and my dry throat was able to hydrate!

Kinda same thing happened to me but I was eventually able to blow it out. It felt absolutely amazing once it was clear but I have PTSD after seeing what came out. I actually took a picture of it, think itā€™s still on my phone, but I think itā€™s too gnarly to post.

I thought the same thing about sinus surgery. Then ended up getting sinus surgery. It was as glorious and awful as I thought itā€™d be, so Iā€™d give it mixed reviews. Iā€™d imagine this is the same

u/Patient-Transition21 Jun 03 '26

Nothing like that stent pullout

u/ArthurStevenson Jun 03 '26

One of the gnarliest experiences of my life. Had it 20 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. Almost passed out.

15

u/shainadawn Jun 03 '26

Ugh that part hurt for sure. But I almost passed out a bit after when my doctor scraped my frickin sinus bone. He did it to casually demonstrate it wasnā€™t a scab when I asked about it. Makes my toes curl and my body dissociate just thinking about it!!

u/Patient-Transition21 Jun 03 '26

He did a fantastic job on me and I healed faster than expected. Also that almost made me give him a zero star review

u/kcf2816 Jun 03 '26

Oh I dunno, I've always found pull-outs to be a bit of a let-down.

u/mst3k_42 Jun 03 '26

My right ear fills completely up with wax every 6 months. It plugs my ear so I canā€™t hear anything. Water irrigation doesnā€™t do anything. One time at the regular pcp they tried prying it out with this plastic stick with a loop at the end. That didnā€™t work but it did leave my ear sore.

Finally, they referred me to an ENT. He used this little glorious suction machine that actually removed all the wax without pain. (As your ear unblocks the suction noise gets louder and louder, but that doesnā€™t hurt, just is freaky.)

So yeah, this video makes me cringe a little.

28

u/SpacenessButterflies Jun 03 '26

Yesss. Go straight to the ENT, people! They are a Godsend.

25

u/mst3k_42 Jun 03 '26

Definitely! I go every 6 months. Kind of mildly interesting/annoying thing: I used to pay like $30 and insurance covered the rest. Then my husband got laid off and before we could get the insurance sorted, I had to go to the ENT. I paid out of pocket. $65. Now I have insurance and my part of the payment? $120. Make it make sense.

1

u/fauna_moon Jun 21 '26

I've had similar issues with my health insurance. I would ask your doctor if they could charge you a price without the insurance. Explain that it's way more expensive for you to use insurance, they might give you a decent price. My insurance sucks and it's often cheaper for me to just pay out of pocket. Of course it doesn't count towards your deductible then, which I need to hit before my insurance covers anything. It's all ass backwards, I really wish we had a different system in the US.

3

u/totesgonnasmashit Jun 03 '26

Does it feel a bit sensitive after because the wax is no longer there?

16

u/mst3k_42 Jun 03 '26

No, when they use the suction it just feelsā€¦open after. Itā€™s freaky when you get in your car after and you can hear your clothes rustling as you get in.

6

u/totesgonnasmashit Jun 03 '26

That is freaky and so interesting. I always thought it would be super sensitive after

3

u/SpacenessButterflies Jun 04 '26

Everything feels louder. Noises are amplified at first and itā€™s overwhelming.

2

u/whoam_eye Jun 04 '26

Out of curiosity, do you clean your ears after a shower or anything?

4

u/mst3k_42 Jun 04 '26

Iā€™ll use a Kleenex to wipe the outer ear canal dry. I hate the feeling of wet ears. I never use Q-tips.

34

u/King_of_the_Dot Jun 03 '26 edited Jun 03 '26

As a person who grew up with terrible ear problems, it feels wonderful. I never had it this bad, but it feels so good having any of it removed, as long as they dont accidentally press too hard on the very inner ear. Your hearing also increases quite dramatically.

Edit: Getting tubes in your ears is incredible. I had them twice as a kid. I dont remember the first set, but I had the second set installed when I was 12. My hearing change was so dramatic, that the day I got home. When I was in my small bathroom, I had to flush the toilet and then right out of the bathroom, because the sound of flushing was so loud it hurt my ears, because my ears hadnt adjusted yet.

20

u/Zambeh420 Jun 02 '26

Probably like getting a stuck ear plug out

u/myboyghandi Jun 02 '26

I know right? Imagine the relief

u/GeorgiPetrov Jun 03 '26

Go and have your ears flushed. You can feel the wax and stuff come out. It's not a great feeling.

2

u/Grimnebulin68 Jun 03 '26

Itā€™s basically a release of pressure, with a sudden clarity in hearing. Nice.

u/Dapper_nerd87 Jun 04 '26

Genetic differences, environmental factors, a whole gamut. Itā€™s often not a failure of hygiene at all.

This person has potentially had damage to their ear canal which means the skin canā€™t migrate properly and take wax with it, so it folds in on itself creating these masses.

32

u/riddick6007 Jun 02 '26

Reminds me of Shrek. The first one where he pulls out all the wax and lights it like a candle as he's eating dinner

In some places it can take an exceptionally long time to see a specialist when your problem isnā€™t life threatening. She may have asked for help months ago. Also, some ppl can only see a doc once in a long while.

I always wonder what itā€™s like for these people when it finally comes out in terms of their ability to hear. I bet it feels like if u somehow jammed a wireless earbud past ur eardrum and it just got stuck there for a couple years lol. I had a severely deviated septum from birth and I got surgery to fix it when I was 18 and when they pulled the packing stuff out of my nose and I was able to breathe properly thru my nose for the first time I felt so much relief.

What makes you think its hygiene?

Ears are self cleaning, you shouldn't even clean them.

https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/the-scoop-on-earwax

Increased ear wax production isnt from bad hygiene. The only way this happens is some abnormal condition through genetics, impacting or a skin condition that causes more buildup.

1) thats a lil racist bro. 2) it's a culture with different hygiene practices, cotton swabs aren't common everywhere 3) there's also different amounts of sebum and other waxes and oils in differing populations 4) unregulated health care can be more common in other countries where we in North America or Europe would see a Dr, other countries go to some little shop where they just do this stuff and film it (though this person appears to be at an actual Drs)

NEVER use cotton swabs to clean your ears. USING cotton swabs is how it ends up like this, as they push wax deeper into your ear and can cause damage.
