    (Manual) Wax Removal: Worth the Risk or Not? Can Wax Come Out on Its Own?

    Good to know. Thank you. But if the wax is in one ear, I imagine it's only necessary to do the drops in one ear?

    (Manual) Wax Removal: Worth the Risk or Not? Can Wax Come Out on Its Own?

    That would have been excellent. But I'm in Alabama. I will try to call the office and see if a nurse or someone could tell me if anyone often does it the manual way.... reviews don't seem to be indicating much.... Thank you for your help, and keep on tweakin'!

    (Manual) Wax Removal: Worth the Risk or Not? Can Wax Come Out on Its Own?

    Thanks, Tweaker. Do you have any ideas on finding an experienced practitioner? If an ENT will do the manual way, should that be assurance? Should I ask more questions? Sorry for all my inquiries!

    (Manual) Wax Removal: Worth the Risk or Not? Can Wax Come Out on Its Own?

    Thanks for the advice. And what ear drops do you think are best? I was recommended Debrox. What about pure olive oil in a dropper? I am in the United States, by the way.

    What Is Your MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) Personality Type?

    And forums in general attract introverts, so there are some validity problems in my very sloppy speculations. I'd love to take this research further and do some polls to know: which types are more likely to have tinnitus? And how does each type cope?

    (Manual) Wax Removal: Worth the Risk or Not? Can Wax Come Out on Its Own?

    Hi! Brief background: I've had the tinnitus for 5 months. It started a week after I seriously pulled a muscle in my neck. I don't know if they are related, because I also got hyperacusis the week following the tinnitus onset. So I don't know if it was the neck problems (I still have tension in...

    What Is Your MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) Personality Type?

    I am also an INFP. So that makes most people so far in this thread INFPs. There are a few INFJs. And an ENFP (who else am I missing). This does not surprise me. Actually, here is a theory: INFPs and INFJs are Highly Sensitive People (look that up if you are interested). About 15-20% of the...
