Russell was told not to clean his ears with cotton buds. “Don’t put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow,” said the doctor.
Anyway, Russell is getting used to his silent world.

I used to give class presentations on hearing. I always explained that Q-Tips are NOT meant to clean inside the ear canal. One child shared that his dad used his car keys to clean inside his ears. Maybe Q-Tips aren’t such a bad option, after all!

Well, I do clean my ears with them – bad on me, but I know what it’s like to have your hearing blocked by ear wax on your tympanic membrane. When that has happened, I’ve had to get someone at a doc in the box place flush my ear canal (external auditory meatus) with warm, soapy water – which is NOT fun.

You appear to be on a miniaturising spree of your weapons. It’s time I got my tinnitus checked.

And he’s me thinking tinnitus was a fungal infection between the toes!
