I am not going deaf.

Saw my P.A. today. My ears are fine. She lavaged them. She sees this all the time. Exam showed everything normal.

Thanks for the support, dear DU friends!

The older I get the more things don't work right. Now all I need is a little lavage squirter and I can keep my ears clean...
