What an amazing change, it's taking abit of getting used to.

I've not heard some of the higher frequencies so I've being missing so much, everything is so sharp, crunching a plastic bag up is abit too much though.

I can't believe what I've being missing for 1-2 years, insanity.

When they do it though, placing a right big like pressure washer in yer ear it sounds like a bomb is going off, then you can hear your heart beat, it's sort of like something you'd expect in a sci-fi film.
 
Pardon?

That sounds crazy though about sounding like a bomb going off and hearing your heart.

Glad you're enjoying your new found HD hearing.
 
I can hear you from here. Wait that should be the other way around.

Last time I had it done they used a big syringe thingy.
 
I found it quite pleasant, though it did make me amazingly dizzy after a little while, and the amount of rubbish that came out was amazing !
 
I went to the doctors, I told em the problem, they told me to go back to waiting room, 15 mins later I was in the nurses office getting my ears blown out with the device.

Might give this a try myself. My hearing has been getting progressively worse for years. Understandable, perhaps (I'm 48) but I'd like to cling to the hope that it can be improved with a bit of high pressure jettery.

I'd so love to hear voices clearly on the television again - everything else sounds fine but speech is just too indistinct.

I must confess that rock may be part of the problem. When I saw Iron Maiden at the O2 a while back, all high pitched sounds were very crackly for about an hour afterward - just like a loudspeaker with a tear in it. ...That doesn't sound very good, now I think about it.

Still, when I first saw AC/DC many moons back I was stone deaf for three days :D
 
I'm considering getting this done. Sometimes sounds can feel a bit muffled and I can sometimes feel a sort of waxy liquid deep in my ears slowly sloshing about sometimes, not as bad as I sounds but I can sorta feel it move :D
 
If your planning on doing this use Otex for 2 weeks then go to your GP and book an appointment for ear syringing. I've had this done twice (once in my early teens and again mid 20's) and it makes a massive difference.

To keep your ears clean put a couple of drops of olive oil in once every two weeks.

Isn't this one of those things that once you've had it done you end up needing it doing again and again?

Not if you use olive oil one every two weeks. The build up of ear wax is natural, however some people produce more than others and so need extra care.
