    Tinnitus Started 2 Weeks Ago with Earwax Removal

    I've never had T before. Well, maybe occasionally for the odd day after clubbing, 20 years ago. I'm 41 now, and my hearing's been getting worse slowly over time. Nothing too dramatic, missing the odd word here and there, turning my earphones up more than I used to. That kind of thing. I had...
